The pony express has galloped outta town and left some very satisfied customers behind. This brown has far more nuttiness and drinkability than most! It’s almost mild, but that would seem like a backhanded compliment. Absolutely fantastic! God help ’ya if you’re looking to get you’re hands on this. It’s sort of a Kansas thing. Ask Indra (a great trader) to get some for you.

good nut brown that is very smooth and well balenced. not an overbearing nut flavor, more malty with slight hop kick on the back end. Had this on tap at Old Chicago

Surprisingly good Brown. Nice hazelnut/malt flavors, nice carbonation, and good clean finish. Hearty without being heavy.

Nice brown. Very dark with a nice creamy head and an outstanding nutty chocolatey flavor. Nice balance as well since it wasn’t sweet despite the massive malt flavors. Good brew.

This is now called the Thunderbolt Nut Brown ale. I found this to be a very impressive nut brown, a good deal better than Newcastle. A def sweet, nutty flavor was the hallmark of this beer. Clean and easy drinking.
