Short 12oz twist-off bottle . Dark brown color. Tall, rocky, light tan head. Appearance of a light colored porter.
Aroma of Roobios Tea. Light crystal malt. A hint of grass. Flavor of toasted almonds and a touch of cocoa. Smooth and creamy. A bit heavier bodied than expected. I like it. I think the slight tweek could add a bit more complexity. Add some cocoa powder and maybe a hint of chipotle for some hidden heat, might be fun...

Nov 20, 2009 Deep brown pour with a thick white head. A bit of light spiciness and a touch of herbal hoppiness as well. There is a kiss of hoppy spice on the back along with a soft sweet maltiness. Simple, but decent.

Oct 22, 2009 Bottle: Pours an auburn brown with a dense tan film for head. Earthy malts and dark nuts in the nose, along with a cocoa hint. Frothy carbonation. Nice, soft crystal malt flavor. Light notes of toasted cocoa and a late nutty roast character, and the slightest touch of smokiness in the finish. A solid Brown Ale

Oct 21, 2009 Orange-citrus and piney hops up front in the nose but lightly roasted malts do come through with a caramel and mild chocolate character. Is sorrel or chestnut in color, very appropriate for a "nut brown ale". Sweet and nutty with hints of burnt caramel and a chocolate finish. There is the faintest note of acridity lended by roasted barley. Oranges come through pleasantly in the flavor as well. Bitterness is spot on. A solid beer that could be a tad dryer.

Oct 8, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Brown in color with a decent tan colored head. The smell is malts, nuts, sweet, and some roast. The taste is dry, malts, roasty, and toast.

Oct 7, 2009 Bottle. Pours dark brown (slightly reddish) with a moderate brown head. Aroma is nutty, plus lightly brown-sugar sweet malt, with a bit of roastiness. Flavor is similar elements. Maybe a hint of tartness. A pretty decent brown.

Oct 1, 2009 Really good brown ale. Very dark brown in color, thick creamy head. Lovely roasted aroma, chocolate, nuts, caramel, malts. Nicely balanced flavors, sweet malts and bitter chocolate, along with hoppy undertones that provide good balance. Very drinkable, very tasty.
