Draught @ Oskar Blues. Lots of character for a brown. Ruby brown color. Long lasting foam. Creamy texture and very mouth filling. Roast and toast character with hints of toffee, fruits and brown sugar, which leads into a dry, hoppy finish. Fairly nice nose as well. It’s a high quality, well made brown.

Aug 16, 2008 Draft @ the brewery. Lightly hazed brown body with a tan, patchy, thick head. Nose of rich toast, chocolate malt, cocoa powder... very bready and doughy, dusty even. Flavor is rich and pasty cocoa (dry), chocolate malt, toasted bread, nutmeg, light touch of almonds/amaretto, even some vanilla. Complex, well-made, satisfying and impressive for a brown ale. Smooth, silky body.

Jul 6, 2008 "One Nut Brown Ale" at the restaurant. I’m not a big fan of brown ales. They need to grow up and decide to be porters or stouts. That said, this is a well-brewed example of the style. It was creamy, with toffee, brown sugar and a bit of hop to it.

Mar 14, 2008 Pours a slightly hazy amber brown color with a white head. Aroma is roasty, slightly nutty, and a hint of hops. Flavor is malty, nutty, roasty, and a bitter hoppy finish.

Jun 2, 2007 Poured a reddish amber color with a small, light tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malts, nuts, some roast, and a bit of smoke as well. Taste of sweet toffee, caramel, nuts, chocolate, and light roasted malts as well.
