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.

This was really good. Good clear ruby redbrown, big tan head. Rich, roasty, smooth flavor, astringent, a little dairy. Not too complex. Nutty, some cocoa. Nice session brew.

Thanks to Beerhandy for this one. Alarmingly odorless. Deep brown with a fizzy fading head. Probably the nuttiest "nut" ale I have ever tasted. Some mild tobacco notes in there too. It’s lazily intense which makes no sense, but drink it and see if you don’t agree. Actually a very unique beer that I really can’t compare to anything else. There is some bready..more like pie crust really..flavor that permeates the whole affair. Different enough that it demands a sample.

Not much aroma standing out but if you rally put your nose in the glass a kind of roasted nut aroma. Ruby red body when held to light. Had a good tan head on pour but that was short lasting. Flavor not much but the 6% is hidden in this one. Beer is little watery. Should of had a sandwitch with this one.

Dark brown with medium head and slight lacing of off white color. Smell, First thought was olives? I don’t know so don’t ask. Maybe something I was eating. Has a thin body and a nutty flavor with malt. This was an ok beer but not a keeper.

Bottle. Deep brown in color with red tinge. Off-white head fades out quickly to a ring and leaves scant lacing. Aroma is initially of stale beer slowly changing to a light malt aroma with some nutty characters. Light malt flavors of nut and coffee are masked with a bitter and slightly sour taste. Body is thin. I would pass on this one if offered again.

Bottle, pours dark brown and opaque with a minimal beige head that leaves a bit of lacing. Aroma is roasty and nutty with a flavor that is both sweet and astringent with hints of chocolate and black tea. Pleasant carbonation and medium body equal a nice mouthfeel. Again, this is a good but not great beer from Oak Creek.

(Bottle) Pours a medium brown body with a medium beige head. Aroma of malt, nuts, and some chocolate. Malty base with a touch of caramel.

Mahogeny color with tan colored head. Aroma is mainly chocolate. Flavor of milk cholcolate and smoke. Bit of a hoppy dry finish. Not bad.
