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.

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.

This brown ale was very malty. The taste was smokey, dark and thick. Not too smooth but it was drinkable, I guess.

On tap at the Roger Smith Hotel, NY. Agreed, this smells, looks, and tastes a bit like a porter. Color is semi-opaque dark brown, rusty color at edges. Medium thick foamy darkish tan head. Aroma is light chocolate roasted malt, a little nutty. Flavor like the aroma, some roasted caramel and chocolate malts, a little nutty, then goes mildly dry and bitter. Also yes to some maple sugar in the flavor.

On tap. Nice brown hue with a tan head that seemed to have good retention. Aroma was of caramel and nutty notes. Flavor had great balance between sweet malts and a roasted quality. Easy to drink.
