Apr 27, 2006 Nice clear brown color with a light off white. Very light lacing. A very nice light chocolate-roasted aroma. Flavor has tad bit of chocolate to it. Hop bitterness compliments the malts nicely. Medium body. This beer is better from the bottle than the tap. Good beer.

Apr 18, 2006 Bottle courtesy of FlacoAlto. Dark mahogany/brown with little head, only film. Aroma very nutty, with burnt grain, chocolate and faint coffee. Flavor much the same. Lots of nutty grain with chocolate and coffee through the middle and finish. Very silky smooth mouthfeel. Very drinkable, well done brown.

Apr 17, 2006 12 oz Bottle: Pours a deep mahogany red color with a thick tightly packed fluffy head that is a nice brownish off-white color. Smell is nondescript. A nice balance of malts and hops, but not much else maybe a little chocolate, coffee, roasted smokiness. The flavor is good, not great. Some nuts, malts, hops, brown sugar, smoke, chocolate, etc, yet despite these array of flavors, still kind of thin and weak.

Apr 8, 2006 Thanks to FlacoAlto for the Nimbus brews!
Poured a mysterious brown body and a tall khaki head. The aroma boasts some big nutty, chicory like suggestions. Flavor held the same, mixed nuts, coffee, toffee, some brown sugar, and subtle ideas of smoked oak chips. A delicate creamy textured palate and a crisp slightly spicy hoped finish…. A rather well done Brown Ale!

Feb 10, 2006 "Pour a very light brown, which smelled of coffee. Flavor was overwelled of coffee mabye some hops. There was an awful metallic aftertaste. Very light mouthfeel."

Feb 6, 2006 This is an excellent brown ale, unfiltered, hefty and yet light in body, kind of a mixed head (compact and frothy), aromas of smoke and chocolate. The flavor is some chocolate and some roast, in a really lovely, balanced way, with almost a hint of feathery sugars - weird interplays in this well-made beer. Nimbus is quality, I’ll say. And super quaffable. Bottle from FlacoAlto.

Jan 27, 2006 Slightly roasted hazelnuts in the aroma. Reddish brown in color with a huge head. Interesting light toasted nutty flavor, slight roast of patent malts, with a dollop of tangy hops on the swallow. For a brown ale, this is pretty good. Thanks Sebastian.

Jan 13, 2006 Brown clear body with a thick tan head. Aroma of chocolate, nuts and some hops. Tasted roasty like roasted almonds with a faint hickory. Roasted and a little bitter at the end. A nice nut brown.
