Commercial Description:
A very small amount of a very dark roasted malt gives our Nut Brown its rich brown color. Although the color is dark, this is not a heavy bodied beer like our Stout. The Nut Brown has a nice clean aftertaste that allows it to be matched with most foods. It is a very well rounded drinkable beer.

Pours a three-fingered bubbly head, fades slowly and leaves a good lace. High carbonation and medium bodied. Cloudy amber color. Nose is cidery. Starts and finishes with a sour cider flavor, not my idea of a brown, it may be off. No expiration date. $1.69 for a 12oz bottle from Super 7-Even Raleigh, NC.

uh? this could have been a bad bottle- i dont know. regardless, it was horrible. tasted like a sour apple jolly rancher with no body or any characteristics of a brown ale. ill give it points on looking good.

On tap at location. Nice nutty roasted malts without too much depth. This was very nice and easy-drinking but the mouthfeel was a little thin.

Dark hazlenut/amber in color. hin, tight white head. Earthy and a bit nutty in the nose. malts certainly prevail. Very lively palate and a rich creamy, nutty, full finish. Since the brewmaster uses strictly German style brewing with imported malts and hops from Germany and the Chech Rep. It's not a beer intended to be remarkable in flavor, but consistent and very drinkable. Cleans up well too.
