Apr 2, 2003 Head is initially average sized, frothy, light brown, mostly lasting. Body is dark brown. Aroma is moderately malty (nutty, caramel, toasted light bread), lightly hoppy (flowers, herbs). Flavor is moderately sweet, heavily bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately bitter. Medium body, velvety texture, lively carbonation, lightly astringent. Nice malt aroma with no grapefruit or pine sap to ruin it. Very good flavor balance, but a bit too far off the bitter end (for the style). Looks great in the glass, lasting head over a rich brown color.

Jun 24, 2002 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.

Jul 22, 2002 Deep garnet in color, the head is frothy and beige, the lace is adequate. Nose is malt, hints of caramel, and light nutlike sweetness. Front is malt and slightly sweet, the top is light, the finish is acidic, dry, nicely hopped and to me a nice representative ’Brown Ale’. Ranks #628 on my master beer list. Thanks Indra’.

Sep 12, 2002 Doughy aroma. Malty, molasses, coffee and chocolate flavor. Exceptionally smooth. Deep cola brown with virtually no head. Excellent label. Trailing chocolate palate, minimally tart. Excellent and surprising.

Feb 1, 2001 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.

Jul 25, 2001 Updated: Sep 2, 2007Surprisingly good Brown. Nice hazelnut/malt flavors, nice carbonation, and good clean finish. Hearty without being heavy.
