Ithaca Oaked Nut Brown

Brewed by Ithaca Beer Company
Style: Brown Ale
Ithaca, New York USA

(bottle - 12 oz) Murky brown color with a puffy tan head. Aroma is dark and earthy with some hints of oak, nuts, and very light malts. Lots of dark fruit. Flavor is dark and earthy with a lot of dark fruit and oak notes. Very deep and rich with some slightly sour notes. Almost tasted like an old ale.

12 oz. As much as I liked the Ithaca Nut Brown when I first tried it, I disliked the Oaked NB. Thin body, and the buttery taste overpowers the other flavors. This just isn’t a good beer.

Pours a hazy amber brownish color with a very thin head... Mild aroma of oak, nuttiness, caramel, and a hint of chocolate... Flavors are muddled under the faint oakiness... There starts out being a slightly roasty brown ale that is quickly overpowered by a generic oakiness... medium thin bodied with a bit of lingering generic oakiness...

Bouteille de 12 oz achetée directement à la brasserie. Arôme: Odeur de caramel avec une pointe chocolatée. Apparence: La couleur est brune avec une faible densité de bulle. Présence d’un mince col beige mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de caramel avec une pointe d’amande. Courte durée de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps et la texture sont mince. Faible effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de caramel en arrière goût. (Rating #2137)

Pours murky medium brown with no head. Nose is nutty and oak, but he flavor lacks the barrel complexity. A bit thin in the body.

bottle tried at at Woodshop Quad. Nice buttery oakey aroma. Flavor sucks. Amber color. A bit watery. What a huge difference between aroma and taste.

Bottle extra in a trade. Pours a dark brown amber body with a light off white head that diminishes to nothing. Sweet malty nose, a hint of nuttiness, almond. Very weak thin watery body. Nutty with a lingering light roastiness almost tobacco esk. Not much more, i was eager to move on.

Pours brown-amber with a head that dissipates to a lacing. The aroma is caramel, oak, bittersweet chocolate and slight alcohol. Flavor is tobacco, slight sweet caramel, smoke, slight oak and a little watery. Starts off thick on the palate then diminished to a watery taste and feel in the finish. I want more than a watery finish. It’s a little flat.
