Bottle: Aroma is roasty and nutty. Pours a dark transparent brown with a little red to it and an off-white head. Nice lacing. Real strong nutty presence with very light caramel in the flavor. Light bitterness in the finish. Nice roastiness and nuttiness flavors make it an okay beer, but lacking in other areas.

One of my favorite local beers. Honest and smooth. Must try it. ABV catches you quicker than you'd expect.

Dark dark amber with a white head. Faint malty aroma Strange faint malt creamy flavour. Slight alcohol noticable.

Not really a brown ale- MBC Nut Brown is closer to an amber ale. Pours a clear red-brown, with a thin off-white head. Nutty aroma is deceptive; the flavor is actually cerealy and bready with a touch of fruit, finishing with grassy hops. Nutty flavors are toned down. Confusing as a brown ale but perfect as an amber.

This is from my firent Terry. Very nice amber, dark brown no head at all. Nutty and sweet smell. I'm drunk sorry. Very nice for a brown ale. Good.

Not a fully "sour" brown, and not an overly nutty brown, this is instead truly thin and incomplete. Some toasted nut character, some sort of unusual sourness that I get in several English style browns, but the palate is the killer here; light light with absolutley no...and I hate to use the word...complexity. Not recommended. Aroma is relatively nice...almonds and some sweet malt bits.

Draft, at MBC taproom. Well, I should give it a higher rating just to help it up after they fixed their initial problems, but this still needs a little work. I'm used to nut browns having a much more complex flavor profile, and this just wasn't there. There is a fine, slightly toasty aspect to its fine brown frame, and just a peek of nuttiness. They seem to be working on it with each batch. But the friendly atmosphere at their taproom makes it all worht the trip.

Bright amber/ruby. Tan head. Sweet, lightly roasted aroma of caramel, light nuts & fruit. Medium, spritzy body. Sweet, lightly roasted, caramel flavour w/ hint of nuts. Highly carbonated, mildly acidic finish w/ a touch of alcohol.
