Commercial Description:
The traditional English fermentation process is alive and well with our limited release Nut Brown Ale. In it, we paired the strength of North England's brown ales with the darker hue of their southern counterparts. Our Nut Brown Ale's nutty aroma and dark walnut colour with relax even the stiffest upper lips, allowing them to enjoy it with rich males, aged cheeses and BC's very own smoked salmon.

The traditional English Nut Brown Ale. Has a classic nutty aroma and dark walnut colour. Mild toasty malt taste. Great nut brown.

Bottle, 65cl - Brown colored beer with a large beige brown head. Aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and nuts. Flavor is malty with hints of caramel and hops. Not very balanced, need more sweetness.

Nutty aroma with an almost cola-like sweetness. Floral and earthy hops are notable. Clear, deep brown bodyis topped by a decent tan head that recedes to a lasting cover with some very nice lacing. Caramel malt sweetness is offset by pleasant balancing bitterness. Some biscuit notes in the aftertaste. Medium body with moderate, soft bubbled lightly prickly effervescence. This would make for a great session beer! Tulip glass. Cellar temperature. Bottle purchased at the Brewery Creek in Mar-09.

Dull brown colour; very toasty aroma with some charred notes. Toasty malt palate, with light notes of cheap coffee. A little bit of woody bitterness in the finish. Middle of the road example...but well-made. Vern is becoming my favourite local brewer.

From 22 oz bottle. Very light brown colour with a tan head. Aroma is lightly nutty with a soft toasted maltiness and a touch of earthy hoppiness. The flavour is lightly thin and has a touch of soft sweetness. Light maltiness along with some lingering caramel. It’s okay, but it’s not great. On cask at Vancouver Caskival. Dark brown with a thin white head that leaves a thin lace around the glass. Cloudy appearance with a malty and nutty aroma. Some caramel and cola flavour. Nuttiness is also present. Okay. 6 3 5 3 10
