Leinenkugels Fireside Nut Brown Ale

Brewed by Leinenkugel Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Brown Ale
Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin USA

Pours amber with a good head that lingers. Strong aromas of pralines and ice cream sugar cone. Light body with ample effers. Flavors of nuts, wafers, creamed coffee bean, and maple preside. The finish is bittered with a touch of acid.

Bottle poured to glass. Pours a rich copper brew with small white head. Maple aroma with a mild nuttyness (maple donut glaze). Very mild up front flavor of malt with a very sweet finish. Mild smoked malts taste late in the swallow of the brew. Watery palate and cloying sweet.

Pours a clear copper/ amber with a quickly dissipating off-white head. Aroma is sweet with caramel malt, fake maple syrup, roasted nuts, toffee and old fruit. Flavor is caramel malt, light toffee, fake maple syrup, light floral and chocolate. Finish is sweet and has somewhat of a wierd fruity aftertaste. Light to medium bodied, very thin mouthfeel for a brown ale. Really more of a brown lager if there is such a thing.

i was quite happy with this beer. had a good flavor, my favorite winter brew so far. would definately reccomend this to someone who wants a good winter beer but does not want to spend much money. will buy this again and again.

Pours a cola brown. Aroma is light. Slightly roasty hints. Flavor is bold, but not overpowering. Toasted almonds and pecans. Sweet and roasty, caramel. Solid. Not amazing.

12 oz bottle. Pours a completely clear light brown body with just a minimal white head that faded very quickly. The nose is actually pretty inviting, lots of dry roasted nuttiness with a bit of a Nutella chocolate/hazelnut character. The flavor is pretty thin with a weird caramel and vanilla extract front that tastes very artificial. The artificial hazelnut tasting finish is just a little too sweet, tastes like they poured a hefty dose of Log Cabin "maple-flavoed" syrup in here after it fermented. The mouthfeel is watery with a lingering sweetness that really gets to be a bit much the more and more you drink of it. Overall, this wasn’t too good.

Pretty awful. Took the good things about beer and replaced it with a shoddy attempt at flavor. Leinenkugel’s is pretty awful in general, and this is no exception.

This is not an ale. It doesn’t claim to be an ale. It’s just a "nut brown" .... Leinie’s lager with some different malts. This pours OK with a medium brow hue and a thin head. Notes of chocolate, nuts, hazelnut, but it seems very forced, i.e, artificial. Thin mouthfeel. Metallic finish. A strange brew that will appear to women and rubes who think they’re drinking something exotic or high class.
