Michigan Brewing Nut Brown Ale

Brewed by Michigan Brewing Company
Style: Brown Ale
Webberville, Michigan USA

(12oz bottle) Enormous rocky tan head atop clear copper-brown body laden with particulates. Aroma is medium sweet, nut/caramel, bread, some earthy/floral, chocolate. Taste is moderately sweet, chococoffee, roast, nut, light floral/earthy, faint tin. Smooth medium body.

Bottle... Clear caramel-colored ale with orange highlights and a small, creamy, off-white head. The malty nose is nutty and buttery with lots of caramel. The flavor shows some oxidation. Walks on the bitter side of balance. Thin, not malty enough for the style. Mild chocolate. Light-bodied and fizzy. Crisp, gently bitter finish.

Good looking brew - a clear chestnut with a lofty, creamy tan head. Has a nice aroma of hot toast, caramel, nuts, and a touch of butterscotch. Light and fluffy in the mouth. Tastes of caramel, light roasted malts, and a nutty, earthy bitterness. Not bad.

Draft sampler at MBC. Deep brown color with an average off-white head that diminished slowly. Small roasted malt sweet aroma. Medium body. Soft roasted malt and nut flavor with a smooth medium finish.

Bottle. LIve one. Zoomed out of the bottle. Almost vinous aroma, definitely chocolate. Very dark brown color with a two or three finger fluffy head. Flavor starts very chocolate. Moves on to a bit of malt. Whole wheat bready sort of drink. Finish is pretty well balanced. Not getting particular hop, but it is not really sweet. Sort of a nutty light porter kind of thing. Really good, whatever it is.

Picked up a single 12-oz bottle at Warehouse Liquors in Duluth, Minnesota. Pours a clear dark copper amber brew with a thin and fast dissolving off-white head that leaves behind a bubbly film top and white ring. Aroma of toasted caramel malt with some roasted nuts, touch of chocolate and some biscuit dough. Taste is medium bodied, well-carbonated with a toasted multi-grain malt with some roasted nuts and dried figs. Finish is slightly dry, metallic with a citrus and malt aftertaste. A solid beer but nothing special.

Bottle (12oz). Clear, very deep ruby pour, average foamy/fizzy off-white head. Slightly burnt caramel aroma, dry, nutty, a hint of cola. The taste is quite sweet, root beer syrup, slightly floral, dry and spicy - seems a little "forced" somehow, and thin. Weak, still body, quick finish to the malt, a slightly sugary and toffeeish aftertaste. Ehhhhh - kind of thin and syrupy.

This bottled brew from Fort Wayne, IN poured a small sized head of foamy fine to medium sized mostly lasting tan colored bubbles that left behind an excellent lacing and a transparent softly carbonated dark brown colored body, The aroma was of mild nut and brown malts. The mouth feel was tingly and crisp from start to finish with a mild nutty aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of mild nut brown malts and hops at the start with a stronger nutty aftertaste.
