Commercial Description:
Brewed in the English tradition, Hex Nut Brown Ale combines the finest domestic and imported malts to produce a chestnut-hued ale of usual complexity. Subtle notes of chocolate, honey and fine tobacco give this world champion ale an enjoyable and satisfying "nutty" finish.

Pours a nice dark browm. Lots of malt, chocolate, honey and nuts. Great lasting finish. Another fine Goose Island brew

Draft at Goose Island Clybourn brewpub. A very dark brown, little head or carbonation. Weak aroma. Decent maltiness in the flavour. This was a reasonable brew and fits in well with their profile of low carbonation beers. I was pretty happy with the range of beers from this brewery this evening.

Bottled - I had this about 10 years ago but I remember it to this day - one of the first craft/microbrews I had while I was in law school after years of throwing down swill in college. The sweet nutty brown goodness sticks in my palate to this day. Thank you Goose Island for liberating me.

a toffee-caramel explosion. Very heath bar like, with a nice somewhat syrupy mouthfeel. My wife loved it. And I thought it was a pretty nice beer.

Bottle poured to glass. Roasted malt aroma with sweeter notes. Brown brew with off white head. Wonderfully sweet brew with a gentle hops after taste. Incredibly smooth with roasted malt flavors. Good brown ale.

This beer pours almost black and with medium tan head that quickly dissolves into a thin lace. The chocolate, caramel, nutty flavor lasts throughout the extremely smooth finish - with just a little bite at the very end. I think this beer is a vastly underrated hidden gem and certainly deserves mention with some of the higher ranked porters, dopplebocks. Very, very drinkable!
