Sweet almost soda smelling aroma to match its cola color and a fluffed up mocha head. Very mild chocolate notes in the mid fore taste. It is indeed nutty. Light bodied and other than the malt sweetness and that nuttiness not overly flavorful, but it has a very sippable quality and a hazlenut aftertaste.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 8, 2005 Tap. Dark cola brown with virtually no head. Sweet, non distinct aroma, may have been due to the fact that I’m tired. Flavors don’t jump out at you (as I’m finding with many brown ales), but the hazelnut, caramel, and malt that was there was pretty tasty. Smooth, if slightly thin mouth feel, like skim milk. Finished clean with a little bit of that nut flavor. Overall pretty good. argo0 (6982), Washington DC, USA

Moderate malty nose with some sweet and salty peanuts. Flavors of malt, toffee, rye, and bright nuts - again, mostly peanuts. Some dryness in the end, from both hops and carbonation. This one definitely benefits from warming up in the glass a bit. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
