| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 26, 2009 Growler fill from brewpub - Pours dark brown with nary a head. Smells nutty and lactic--almost sour malt. There’s not a ton of flavor, though it’s much like the aroma. There’s that same lactic quality, along with some malt and a little hops bitterness on the finish. It’s a pretty forgettable beer that just feels limp and flat in the mouth. phishpond417 (1935), Madison, Wisconsin, USA

Cinnamon, walnuts and ginger in the flavor. Semi sweet, lightly roasted coffee beans. Perfect for the style, but wish it was just a tad heavier and creamier. kp (8399), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 17, 2007 Fourth stop during Wisconsin Trip #2 and one of 11 brews offered at this small town brewpub. Pours a dark brown brew with an off white head. Head disappears at an average speed with excellent lacing. Armoa scents picked up include caramel, Toll House chocolate chip cookies with walnuts, bananas and roasted barley malt. Taste is smooth and sweet with light carbonation. Most excellent!

The flavor is roasted malts and English walnuts. The palate was rich and well balanced to the style. StewardofGondor (1934), Washington Heights - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 26, 2005 Deep medium brown in color with amber accents. Creamy, whitish-gray rim of head. Aroma is walnuts just cracked from the shell and Nutella spread over Wonderbread. Flavor rush from the get-go; robust nuts that say 100% pecan. A little bit of caramel sweetness that reminds me of a Bite O’Honey candy bar. This is probably as good as a nut brown gets.
