Nodding Head Grog

Brewed by Nodding Head Brewery
Style: Brown Ale
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA

On draft at Grace Tavern. Clear, dark brew, no head, no lacing - looks kind of like a flat cola. Mild and unimpressive - another example of why I should stay away from brown ales.

Menthol, mint, Ricola cough drops, malty. Dark brown-red with tan lacing head. Medium bodied with light medium carbonation. Starts with heavy malts, light smokiness, chocolate. Good hops acidity and bitterness. Light sweetness with herbal nutty finish and after. Dry after.

A brown ale? This was pure crap. No real caramel taste, no real roasted taste, no real taste period. Very dissapointing.

more interesting than a regular brown ale, caramel aroma with nettles. mildly sweet, hint of hazelnut, smooth and decent

Poured dark brown. Aroma of malt, nuts, slight honey, toffee. Tastes slightly light on mouthfeel, with hints of malt, brown sugar, nuts, and chocolate. Nice complexity and well balanced.

HBF- The brewer stated this to be a Mild but brown ale works as a label here. Awesome deep brown color with a long lasting head. Nice roasty/nutty aroma and flavor. Great mouthfeel- not too watered down yet extremely drinkable and smooth as silk.

Sampled draft at the Harrisburg Brewer’s Fest. Since browns are boring to me. I can see why this one won so many awards. It actually has flavor for a brown!! Slight dark malt flavor but it’s there.

Very dark brown color with a small tan head. Caramel malt aroma, light roast as well. Chocolate, coffee, caramel, citrus hops, and dominant molasses taste. Overall kinda thin, but then that seems to be expected from this style.
