Jul 23, 2009 I got this as an extra from GrizzlyAdams, thanks man! For a nut-brown ale this sure looks a heck of a lot like an amber ale, the head is like white cream though. Smell is sorta nutty and then the taste really backs that up with some serious nutty, hazelnut flavors which almost overwhelm the palate. This was a pretty good beer just because it is so different than any other nut-brown ale I have ever had.

Jul 22, 2009 Orange-brown with a thin tan head. Aroma of nuts, roasted malt, caramel and dough. Taste of sweet and toasted malt, hazelnuts. Moderate palate, an okay brown ale.

Jul 22, 2009 Amber pour with a thin white head. The aroma is quite lovely. Soft sweet toasted malts with a very fresh bready quality. A faint kiss of cocoa on the back. Quite fresh tasting with a nice sweet malt complexity. Faint toast malt flavour. Light aroma and a kiss of lightly roasted coffee. It’s fairly sweet up front but with a nice rounded roasty finish on the back. There is a kiss of spice and enough complexity to keep me interested. More amber than brown, but the beer itself is well-made and pretty tasty.

Jul 15, 2009 Pours with a nice rocky head, a little hazy with a browish amber-ish color. Aroma is malty, a little roasty, yeasty, with plenty of nuttiness with just some mild hints of apple. Flavor is a nice deep maltiness with of course plenty of nuttiness, with a nice bitterness and some earthy tones. For whatever reason the alcohol seems a bit more pronounced on this sampling that prior ones, but still I really don’t find it distracting. There is almost like a Czech hop character here, it works though.

Jul 13, 2009 Light tan wispy head. Aroma is the best part and put this beer with a good score on my behalf. I’m not sure what is meant by nutty, so I will call it roasted aroma with a bit of fruitiness. Taste is malty caramel sweet with a dry roasted after taste. Picking up a bit of fruity raisin/prune. Not a big fan of the fruitiness in this ale, but I guess it is acceptable in beers like this. Hop aroma and taste is slightly evident. Okay beer with good complexity.

Jul 10, 2009 Light and sweet nutty aroma -- makes me think of hazelnut. Flavor has characters of caramel, malt, and some variety of nuts, as should be reasonably anticipated. Brew makes a delightful, almost-creamy mouthful.

Jul 7, 2009 From a 12 oz bottle obtained in a trade with Erik in Indiana this poured a copper color with a nice foamy off-white head and good lacing. Nose of caramel malts with some nuts and floral hops. Rich and creamy mouthfeel. Flavor is a sweet maltiness with a light bitter finish. Quite enjoyable and easy drinking.
