Bottle from BeerBunker. Thanks. Nice sweet malty aroma. Toasted nuts, caramel, roast. Pours a copper color with a thin head. Flavors of toasted nutty malts, caramel, and light roast. A little bitterness in the finish. Clean, nice drinking brown ale.

(Thanks John, Kosko20) 12 oz bottle into shaker. Just slightly hazy amber brown color with a great creamy lacing off-white head. Aroma is rich and very impressive – nutty and doughy (thick and chewy aroma). The flavor is also very well done – nutty and oaky upfront that fades into a doughy vanilla finish that is remarkably smooth and balanced with no flaws. Medium bodied and smooth with light carbonation on the palate. Overall: one of the best brown ales I have had. Very impressive, unbelievably drinkable and refreshing. This is my first New Glarus and has me craving more.

12oz bottle. Brownish-orange color with a small head. Minimal sweet malty aroma. Medium bodied, with a nice clean mouthfeel. Plenty of brown, nutty nuances to keep it interesting. Good hop balance as well. Watery finish. Overall, a very pleasant Nut Brown.

Bottlee from kosko20. Pours a hazy chestnut hue with a thickish, medium sized off-white heead. Aroma of nuts, a bit of maple and some chocolate. Taste is nuts and caramel with a bit of oatmeal and cinnamon and a couple of hops poking through. Watery with light bubbles.

Brown and hazy. Small beige head. Aroma is muted...malty, nutty and some light notes of chocolate. Flavor is really good, surprising after a pretty mundane aroma. Malty, chocolate, frutiy, nutty and sweet. Smooth and easy drinking. I would drink this any time!
