Dec 5, 2009 Poured a light brown color with minimal head. Smelled roasty nut malt. Chocolate malt taste that finished a little bitter. My favorite leinies product yet.

Dec 5, 2009 Smells like the inside of my favorite pub back home. Almost zero head, but great walnut color. The nut taste is pronounced, and a little... surprising? I think I would describe this as interesting more than delicious. Not really sure how I feel about it.

Dec 2, 2009 12 oz. bottle- Pours reddish amber with little head, aroma isn’t as good as I was expecting, but has faint aromas of nut. The flavor at first is too watery and kind of bland, but after the swallow a very nice nutty flavor opens up in your mouth. There is potential for an excellent Nut Brown here, just needs more depth.

Dec 1, 2009 Bottle. Deep amber, clear body. Off white, rapidly diminishing head. Nice roasty aroma of grain, nuts, ash with a whiff of coffee. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet andlightly bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. The beer starts with a hit of strong coffee-like roast with a nutty flavor in the middle. It turns lightly tart. Crisp and clean. Nothing complex. Straightforward and easy drinking.

Dec 1, 2009 12 oz. bottle at a friend’s condo in Chicago. Pours a clear brown color with a medium tan head. Nutty aroma, mostly hazelnut, along with brown sugar, roasted malt, caramel, and milk chocolate. The flavor follows suit- very nutty and brown sugary, giving a maple syrup kind of flavor but not that texture. Sweet, and roasty in a lighter way. Light-medium bodied, with a corn syrupy (that is, not thick) mouthfeel. This typifies Leinenkugel beers for me- very aggressively flavored, but in an artificial sort of way.
