topherh (878), Kearney, Missouri, USA Aug 14, 2009 Bottle pours brown with amber edges and a beige head. Aroma is sweet caramel malt. Flavor is lightly roasted malt, chocolate, caramel, with a very smooth mouthfeel. GranvilleTim (465), Granville, Illinois, USA Jul 22, 2009 Red -brown pour with off-white head. Caramel malt aroma. Nice chocolate flavor, some nuttiness and caramel, and a little bitter at the end. Lacing on the glass. yemenmocha (344), Glendale, Arizona, USA Jun 14, 2009 Hoppy nut brown ale? Pours medium brown with tan head, and a great start from the looks of the beer. Nose is somewhat restrained, throwing a slight caramel scent. Palate offers a strange contrast of rather big roasty/chocolatey sweet flavors with quite a bit of hop bitterness. Slows down the drinking for sure, almost as if this one is a stout or porter wannabe. fonefan (10868), VestJylland, Denmark Jun 9, 2009 Bottle 12fl.oz. Clear medium amber color with a small to average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate to light heavy malty, caramel, nutty, roasted notes. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. [20090321] alobar (1006), Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 19, 2009 Bottle. Caramel brown color with a thin slightly tan head. Aroma of caramel and nutty. Flavor of caramel, nuts, and malts. A bit carbonated. A bit weak overall Papsoe (14613), Frederiksberg, Denmark Mar 31, 2009 Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of yespr/Ungstrup. Slightly hazy deep amber with a rough beige head. Aroma of roasted malt and nuts. Medium body, sweetish roasted malt and perhaps a little burned caramel. Lightly bitter finish. 210309 machfive55 (218), Columbia, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 30, 2009 Poured a dark brown with a tan head. The aroma was a rich caramel malty, the flavor was caramel and malt, sweet with light hops and a nutty finish. There was a good carb on the palate and overall this was a well balanced beer with some rich maltiness. Too bad this is now retired. jgb9348 (2492), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA Mar 28, 2009 Clear deep brown coloured body with a thin brown body and tons of small bubbles rising from the bottom and sides of the glass. Aroma of raisins, malt, alcohol, peat and yes - nuts. Medium-bodied; Light taste with malt and raisins most noticeable, some sweetness but mostly bland. Aftertaste is clean and short - not the typical nut brown at all. Overall, bland and unimpresive. Even for people who DO enjoy the style, this is passable. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Grape & Gourmet in Virginia Beach, VA on 12 September 2007.
