Jul 27, 2009 Bottle at the LCBO - Mmmmmm.... I think I’m liking this brown ale quite a bit. Great pour and colour. Just like the description, a nice aroma of mild nuts and malt. It really comes through with a great nutty, hazelnut taste that’s ultra smooth and enjoyable that’s not too strong, but just right. A benchmark of all brown ales.

Jul 16, 2009 (18.6 oz bottle) Pours a clear brown that when lets light through is ruby red. Nice huge bubbles and great lacing on the glass. Nose is of roasted malt, chocolate, and nuts. Taste is sweet lightly roasted malts with some nuts in there as well. Very smooth and highly drinkable. The body is also not too watery.
This is one of the standards for the brown ale style, and given how easy it is to acquire it’s remarkable how well the quality is maintained on this one. A fantastic recommended brown ale.

Jul 10, 2009 12oz. Bottle. Pours a deep, dark brown with a foamy medium beige head. Aroma is sweet, nutty, and malty. Reminds me of the aroma of Newcastle’s. Flavor is nutty, and a tad woody. Bittersweet aftertaste. Overall pretty good.

Jul 10, 2009 Not a bad nut brown ale. Has a very smooth pour with no foam head. Has a nice nutty hazelnut taste. The appearance has a brown look to it, with a dark center.

Jul 6, 2009 Bottled@Brewpub Copenhagen. Rubyish red colour, mediumsized brown head. Aroma is raisins, plum, caramel malts as well as some mild hoppy notes. Flavour is sweet malts, plum, raisins and some mild earthyness. Very sweet and a bit out of balance. Where are nuts?
