Mar 7, 2007 Sweet, with well balanced hops and malts. Copper colored. A little watery for my tastes, slightly bitter but an easy drinker.

Feb 13, 2007 This is overall a very good brown ale. Quite sweet, malty caramel, and nut on the toungue. Copious white head, fissly and remarkably drinkable. Also has its share of hops. Pretty good!

Feb 12, 2007 They could stand to cut back on the long name, as "best nut" should not appear on any label except that of x-rated material, which I believe is for another discussion. This beer is actually ok though, coming from those pesky guys at saranac who sit somewhere on the fence between microbrewers and some poorly disguised member of Budweiser brewing company. This feels a little better though that the others with a warming malt structure, with caramel, figs, nuts and winter spices. Creamy mouthfeel. Good beer. Purchased a single for $1.50 at Whole Foods in Falls Church, VA.

Jan 7, 2007 Dusty and caramel aromas. Treacly, somewhat sweet taste, finishes sticky on the palate. Clear brown with little to distinguish it in the glass.

Jan 4, 2007 Bottle: Reddish amber with an ordinary looking thin head. Not a bad little caramel malt aroma. Lightly nutty, but comes off with a starchy, adjunct-like afterbite that takes it down a notch. Drinkable enough.

Jan 4, 2007 Bottle. A surprise from Saranac, may be their best beer brewed. Poured a brown body with a good size head. Aroma is a nutty malt scent. Taste is malty with a slight hop precense and a sweet aftertaste.
