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.

Draught at Ithaca Beer Company in NY. Brown/red color, clear, beige head. Aroma is saccharin, sweet, caramel, roasted malts. Flavor similar, with some chocolate up front.

Dark brown pour with thin tan head. Coffee and nuts on the nose. Hops, chocolate, and filbert nuts. Well balanced

Draft: Poured a d dark brown color with not a lot of head. The aroma was of coffee and chocolate with malt and hints of hops present. The flavor was like a chocolate coverd hazelnut. Overall, this was a good beer.

Fresh, yeasty aroma. Fairly hoppy and fizzy for a nut brown, with a taste of coffee and cereal. Malty sweetness and other flavors are more noticable at room temperature than refrigerated. Well-balanced and flavorful. Ithaca makes consistently good brews.
