Light orange-brown with an off white head. Aroma is malty, sweet, very nutty. Taste is the same, chestnut, sweet nuts are prominent, sweet caramel, light fruitiness.

12 oz. bottle from Woodman’s Food Market in Madison, WI. Pours brownish-orange with an off-white head. Nutty aroma with a hint of chocolate. Good hazelnut flavor. It’s a brown ale so, for me, it’s hard to get very excited but this is still a good beer and one of the better brown ales I’ve tried.

A decent beer. Dark brown pour with a off-white/tan head. Roasted nut aroma with a little smoke/chocolate/coffee tones in it. Nice lacing on my glass. Flavor was good, but not as good as other brown ales I’ve had lately.

Brown. Sort of a nutty brown, actually. Faint aroma, but nice - mildly sweet, peppery aroma. Very smoove palate, some caramel, some coffee, some nutty notes. Crisp mildly bitter finish. Nice session brown. Thanks to lithy for the trade!

Pours clear copper amber with a 3 finger off white, chunky head. Aroma is roast, hazelnut, caramel, sauteed almonds, toasted malt and some light raw grain notes. Flavor is roast, toasted malt, white bread crust, caramel, woody hops, toasted nuts and sweet grain. Finish is toasted nuts, woody hops and dry grain, really nice and refreshing despite the roasty, toasty and somewhat sweet entry. Palate is thin to medium thin with a lively, maybe slightly too sharp carbonation and a slightly dry entry leading to a dry finish. This is a really good brown ale, has a really nice finish where many others will leave odd flavors lingering.

Bottle. Color is a light amber with good carbonation and a thin tight head. Aroma is a mild roasted malt scent. Taste is mild and light. Starting with a lighter medium body it goes down easy with a clean feel. Finish a mellow malt taste that gives just a hint of sweetness. After taste is clean. This is a very tasty and refreshing brown.
