Commercial Description:
A dark brown ale deriving maltiness from two types of American crystal malts, yet not overly heavy in body. Rounded with a nutty flavor from chocolate malt and a hint of black patent malt. Finished with aromatics from Czech Saaz hops.

I used to say that I wasn’t a fan of nut brown ales... until I had one from Nimbus. This is simply an amazingly good beer. Hours later, I was still savoring the rich, tasty flavor! Unfortunately for others it’s probably not widely available outside of Arizona.

Very good. I can only find it a few places in San Diego, but I when I do I buy everything they have. This is like a Newcastle on Black Tar Heroin. Extremely good beer. Starts nice, finishes with a nap.

Wow, stumbled upon this in Wal-Mart of all places. For a dark beer this is very smooth and drinkable. A well crafted full-bodied beer. It has been a while since I have tasted a beer this good

Very porter-like. Dark and rich, with roasted coffee flavors. It was truly a pleasure to drink.

On draft at Hamilton’s Tavern, rich coffee type hue with thin brown head. Light roasted malts lead to a sweeping warm hop, very deep roasting/chewy nut layer. Mild abv. with a sweet quick finish. A perfect accopanyment to my bar nuts and leftover enchilada flavored cheetos~

The appearance of a porter with a gourmet dark ale taste. An excellent brew by an excellent company. Disregard the infected ratings-this brewery is completely safe, legitimate, and the largest barrel production in Arizona.
