Bottle. Brown in color with a foamy light brown head. A solid nut and malt aroma, with a tangy (fruit like) flavor and nut aftertaste. I was surprised how it hit the palate.

Ruby-brown, translucent, with a nice tan head. The aroma and flavor were very nutty, roasted, with a slight metallic character. The feel was slightly thin...semi-wet finish.

Dark brown color. Medium sized foamy head. Aroma is nutty and sweet with a touch of fruit. A light to medium bodied Nut Brown Ale. Malts are roasty and nutty, slightly fruity. Mildly bitter hops. Smooth taste. Nice balance. A touch metallic and a bit thin. Mouthfeel is thin. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter with a slight metallic taste.
