Overall has to be one of the best nut brown ales I have every had a chance to wrap my lips around. DandyWolfFloyd (331), Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 20, 2008 Aroma is full of nutty love, malts bursting with aroma, hazlenut shines most bright. Appearance is the only detractor, a bit red-amber in color, small head, turns into a thin collar. Flavor is full of roasty malt, some full nuttiness, and of course lots of hazlenut goodness. It’s like drinking liquid trail mix some chocolate and some nuts, and lots of perfect. Velvety smooth. ehhdayton (1113), USA Nov 20, 2008 Pours an amberish brown with a slight tan head. Aroma has some malt and nut to it along with a malthy and roasted flavor. gringo332 (236), Richardson, Texas, USA Nov 18, 2008 Delicious beer. Great aroma. ours a dark brown with a smallish head. Aroma has strong malts, some sweet cream, and definite nutty notes. Flavor is wondrous- the creaminess really comes through and makes the flavor thick, rich, and delicious, though the actual mouthfeel is much lighter on the tongue. dm9831 (1167), Monee, Illinois, USA Nov 17, 2008 solid brown color, respectable tan head, some lacing. chocalte nose, airy malt. flavor of roased, smoked malt, roasted nuts (including pistachios). medium bodied, bitter, roasty finish. perhaps a bit too frizzy, but the rosted nut flavor and bitter aftertaste is fun. beerheart (237), Erie, Colorado, USA Nov 2, 2008 I’ve never been a big fan of brown ales, but this is one of the highest rated, so I thought I’d give it a try. I have concluded that I got a bad bottle. The flavor was flat and buttery. I think this was a bad ferment. AmicusBeer (18), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Oct 29, 2008 Dark brown in color. Sweet and malty. Fairly strong in alcohol content but not too strong. Nice and nutty
