phishpond417 (1521), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Nov 20, 2008 Pours a dark partially cloudy reddish brown colour. Head is full and frothy, tan. Aroma is very pleasent, nutty, and maple syrup. Taste is interesting, plenty of sweet nuttiness, but i also taste some green beans, maybe a little toffee or almond also. Either way an incredibly filling brew. shigadeyo (1500), Southwest Ohio Area, Alabama, USA Nov 19, 2008 <b>12/12/2007</b>: Fort Collins Big Shot Seasonal Ale is golden amber and clear with ruby tones. It also has a frothy off-white head. Hazelnuts with some toasted malt behind it can be found in the aroma. The flavor has toasted malt and hazelnut. It is kind of rich, but one dimensional with a dry texture. Other flavors to note include hazelnut shells and an earthy bitterness. It has a medium body and isn’t quite smooth, but still decent on the palate. It is different and does not come across as artificial. Overall this is a pretty good Nut Brown Ale.

<i>1 pint, 6 fl. oz. bottle. Rating #69 for this beer...</i><br /> Butters (574), Temporarily in Nashville, Tennessee, USA Oct 25, 2008 Bomber. Pours a clear dark orange amber with fair light tan head. Sweet malty aroma with a hint of toffee, but not overly impressive. Flavor is toasted malt with some nuttiness but not vegetal. Smooth medium body with medium low carbonation. Rather enjoyable nut brown. Rciesla (1136), Brick City, New Jersey, USA Oct 12, 2008 Bottle nice art work. Pours a mahogany amber brown body with off white head. Caramel, nutty, tastes a lot like lager, minor hop notes, with light etoh. eh. jrob21 (915), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Sep 28, 2008 Bottle back from nashville from about a month ago. Decent sweet malty flavor. Nutty and toffee character as well. Pours a syrupy, murky looking brown color. Caramel and toffee aroma. Decent drink. Possibly getting this one a little late in the game here though.
