Downtown Grill Nut Brown Ale

Brewed by Downtown Grill & Brewery
Style: Brown Ale
Knoxville, Tennessee USA

Sampler draft at DGB. Dark brown color with moderate off-white head that diminished slowly. Moderate aroma of sweet malt. Medium body with smooth texture. Moderate sweet malt and hop flavor with short sweet finish.

on draught under the alias "Woodruff Brown" . Light tan/brown pour. Nutty, sugary aroma with some acidity. There’s a sweet walnut taste and an astrigency of nut shells. There’s a bit of breadiness throughout. This is fairly thin for a brown and not balanced too well.

Draught. Brownish copper with off-white head. This is reasonable, but not as good as other nut browns.

Tap. Malt and caramel aromas with a mild hop nose. Pours nut brown with an off-white head. Flavors of malt and yeast. Medium bodied and fizzy.

A nice clear brown beer with a slight to invisible head. Slight aroma of nutty malt. Fine taste of chestnuts and biscuits, with a bit of roasted flavor. Fine but lacks a bit of body.

Draft at Downtown Grill & Brewery in Knoxville, TN. A small sized tan head with fine-small sized bubbles that were mostly diminishing. The body of this beer was uncarbonated and transparent with a reddish-brown hue. The nose was sweet and malty. The flavor was caramel and malt with a bit of an aftertaste to it. The mouthfeel was very, very smooth and slightly thin. This was a medium bodied beer with good lacing.

TheDM and Hotstuff vacation brew 136. This draft brew was sampled at the Brew Pub in Knoxville Tennessee and served by an attentive staff that included the Owner, the bar manager, Daniel Goss, and the assistant brewer Joey Barbarito. This brew poured a head of fine to medium sized mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a transparent uncarbonated brown colored body and a good lace. The aroma malty nutty sweet mild and nice. The flavor was that of a very nice caramel brown malt that disappeared quickly but was nice while it lasted. The mouthfeel was smooth sweetly malted and had no bite. I like this brew a lot and it was very nice. So nice that the bar manager brought me a second glass for free! Thanks Dan!

Copper colour with a decently thick tan head. Very subtle malt aroma with almost nothing else. Medium to Light-bodied; Flavourful maltiness, not too much...with a subtle sweetness. Aftertaste shows some of the maltiness and not much else. Overall, a bit worse than the average brown, but not great nor too bad. I had this on draught at the brewpub in Knoxville, Tennessee on 27-September-2003.
