Feb 6, 2009 550ml Bottle. A nice clear ruby/brown color with a two finger tan head. Aroma of toasted nutty grain and caramel with a touch of fruit im guessing from the yeast.Flavor is malty and nutty up front then you get this little fruit flavor that leads to a spicy,slightly bitter hop finish. Thin body,soft carbonation and mouthfeel. Very nice.

Feb 4, 2009 Updated: Mar 12, 2009Nothing too special. Aroma of caramel malts and a slight nuttiness. Little to no hop bitterness which I like, but it doesn’t balance out the malt flavor well enough.

Feb 1, 2009 Pours a reddish brown with a very frothy tan head. Aroma of nuts, molasses, and malt. Taste was of nutty molasses with a bit of coffee aftertaste and substancial carbonation. Not my favorite Nut Brown Ale but not bad either. I would drink it again for sure.

Jan 28, 2009 Aroma is nutty, perhaps with a hint of brown sugar. Appearance is translucent and rusty; the head sticks around in a thin layer. Flavor is full of the aforementioned hazelnut presence, maybe even some caramel as well. Palate is non-descript, maybe a bit creamy. Good, but not special or spectacular. I can find find better NBA’s this side of the pond.

Jan 27, 2009 This offering soon reminds me why I generally walk right by the S.S. displays. It’s a good, plain Ale but contains no wow factor. Actually this comes across as a less hoppy version of the Pale Ale, nothing more and a little less. Aromas of biscuits, fruity yeast, caramel and unsalted peanuts. Rich copper pour, filmy head and minimal lacing. Medium bodied with a light creaminess. Finishes thin and mildly bitter. Biscuit and toffee flavors, buttered nuts and a touch of fruit. Lacks any strong "nut" aspect and is more akin to a flavorful amber. At least I got the cool glass.
