Ithaca Nut Brown

This nut brown ale poured a deep, almost black colour with a nice big, creamy brown head. To the nose there are scents of roasted malts, nuts, caramel and coffee. First sip was very roasted with coffee flavours very prodominant. Others of roasty malts and a little hop make this a very nice Nut Brown. Slightly watery and creamy at the same time. Roasted flavours stay on the palate for quite some time.

Bottle. Pours a deep reddish-brown with a small tan head. Aroma is very malty, with detectable chocolate and caramel (maybe a roasted characteristic as well?). Taste is sweet, with malt up front, a bit of grain/hop in the middle, and a malt/chocolate/caramel/nut finish that pulls it all together. Not spectacular, but I really enjoyed this, and I’m surprised it rates so low.

Draught at the New York Wine and Culinary Center. Rich and fragrant aroma of sweet chocolate and caramel; slightly roasted. Full-flavored, sweet, dessert-like. Lots of chocolate, rich and thick, with nice balance. Luscious.

dark brown pour, little head. Aroma is chocolate and fuggle english malt character, a bit of caramel malt as well. flavor is coffee ground and cocoa with a bit of vanilla bean. tastey brown. very drinkable

Sweet and malty on the first taste. Light tan head settles. Chocolate and toffee. Caramel. Not overbearing. Tiny bit too much carbonation. Nice.

Nice dark brown color with no head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, and a bit of caramel. Flavor is decently balanced with coffee dominating following by a mix of caramel and chocolate. Very enjoyable.

Very ’bock-like’ flavor to this nut brown ale. Seems America can’t compare to traditional English Nut Brown Ales,such as Newcastle and Samuel Smith’s. Had a hard time finishing this one.

12oz form bakes on the beer spot. Pours light brown with a tan head. Nose is sweet and nutty. Taste is ok, semi decent.
