Commercial Description:
The rich mahogany hue of the Nut Brown is the first thing you will notice about this complex, malty brew. A delicate blend of chocolate malt, caramel malt, and four other malts brings to this beer a chocolatey sweetness, and hints of coffee. The malt character is subtly balanced with Northdown and Fuggles hops.

Bottle with friends. Chocolate and coffee notes. Body is almost a little thin, and I kept getting a slightly burnt note towards the finish which was a little off putting, but overall a solid brown.

In short: Well done standard session nutty brown ale
How: Bottle 12oz, consumed very fresh, purchased directly at the brewery and drank the same day.
The look: Clear amber body topped by a small beige head
In long: Nose it very nutty and with the rich maltiness it smells a bit like peanut butter. Well malted beer a bit on the oily side. Taste if pecan pie, toffee, pie crust, a bit buttery but it somehow works with the beer. Discreet hops with a light tea/tobacco presence. The finish is mainly the same as the attack with that nutty dessert flavour from start to finish. Not very tasty but this is exactly what a basic session nut brown ale should be. Nothing extraordinary, I don’t think it will win an award for best Brown Ale. And it sure won’t win an Oscar for best supporting actor.

Draft at brewery. Poured a deep brown in color with a light tan head. Aroma was slightly roasty with nuts, coffee and toffee. Tastes of roasted coffee and a little nutty. Finish was dry and it had a decent mouth feel.
