Commercial Description:
A 2002 Bronze Medal Winner in the North American Brewers' Association competition. This northern Arizona favorite has a consistent nutty flavor with just a hint of spice in its depths. A slowly emerging bitterness crops up along the way and is unobtrusively incorporated into the smooth flow. It finishes with a gentle nuttiness and spiciness. Excellent with sandwiches and subs.

Bottle courtesy of MDS! Thanks Mr. Stich! Pours dark brown, slightly transparent, with a fizzy medium sized beige head. Aromas mainly consist of roasted malt with a side plate of nuts. Pretty sweet nutty flavours with a punch of hops to try to balance. Litle too sweet maybe. Lacks complexity, but ok for what it is. A new state thanks to MDS!

Bottle: Dark brown cola coloured body, with slight fizzy head. Nice roasted malt aroma. Very earthy in flavor and a nice hazel nut aftertaste. Creamy finish.

I had this draft in, of course, Arizona, as a draft beer at J-Bar in Tucson. Looks like a nut brown. Dark but not opaque, creamy head, some lacing. Some hazlenut flavor, some dark malt, a little hop in the finish, a little light and thin in the mouth. About right for a nut brown, which is far from my favorite style.

12 oz bottle, via FlacoAlto. Mahogany colored body under a fizzy off-white head that faded quickly. Aroma of toasted malt with a light nuttiness, but also slightly grainy. Flavor is a mix of nuttiness and very light roast. The negative grainy nature of this comes out in the finish. Light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall, average for a Brown Ale and below average in the overall context of the world of beer.

Bottle. Thanks Degarth. #2 on nut brown ale night at home. Aroma was nice roast malt light nut. Pour was nice deep brown with a light head. Flavor was quite nice, nice malt and deep nut flavor with a nice background of hops to even it out. Palate was nice and even and finish was relatively clean. Overall this was good.

Not a huge fan of the nut brown ales in general, but this was actually pretty good. Pours a true brown with a light tan head. Aroma is mostly malt and nuts. The taste is very mellow. Malts, some "Chock Full O’ Nuts"-like coffee, and a little smoky. Decent, not great, but leagues ahead of its Amber Ale cousin.

thanks falcoalto. 12 oz bottle, poured a clear brown, with small fast fading white head. Nose had coffee and malt. Was a bit flat, lacking in the over all taste-mouth feel. But not a bad brown.
