Oct 24, 2008 A decent American dark lager. Aroma was weak. Slightly alcoholic and wheaty with roasted malt throughout. Pour was a nice dark roasted brown with a one finger off white head.Taste was very acidic. Roasted malt, acid and wheat in the front with a bitter malt aftertaste. Not too bad.

Oct 23, 2008 12 oz. bottle from a sampler. Pours a deep red color, clear, with a three finger frothy head. Moderate retention and decent lacing. Aroma is caramel malt and grass. Taste is nuts and caramel very strong and up front with some hops and coffee notes as well. Interesting beer.

Oct 22, 2008 Updated: Jan 2, 200912oz bottle. Dark amber color, stained glass brown. Nice frothy head that dissipates after a minute or two. Aroma of sweet brown malt and seawater. Medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, lots of nutty and spicy malt thickness up front, which fades into a smooth lagery finish. Spicy hop character. A great session beer.

Apr 19, 2008 Bottle-Amber pour with a malty, slightly roasty, nutty nose with brown bread and floral accents. Topped with a frothy beige cap. Somewhat sweet, rye bread and malty sugars upfront with nutty, bitter hops. Some cotton candy and dark fruits towards the finish. Creamy and tasty.

Apr 9, 2008 Updated: Jul 8, 2008Saranac calls this their Season’s Best Nut Brown Lager. Brown colored topped with a thick tan head. The aroma was pretty boring, but there’s a nice malt flavor in there acompanied by a hoppy spicy bite. Maybe a little sour. Relatively warming and a nice one for the Holidays.

Jan 13, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Yet another mediocre beer produced by the folks at Saranac. This one at least looks promising with a clear red body and a moderate, long-lasting off-white head that left a bit of lace on the glass. Weird aroma of caramel and unsweetened iced tea. The flavor begins with weak, watered-down caramel. This is followed by a virtually flavorless bitter taste not unlike the white part of an orange. Harsh and thin at the same time, not a good combination. This stuff is not very good. I can’t say I am disappointed, because that would imply I expected something better from Saranac in the first place.

Dec 7, 2007 Bottle. Dark clear copper with a light beige frothy head. Aroma of honeyed cereal, cookie, grain and dark karo. Nutty pecan like flavor, but with a harsh bitter edge which seemed more metallic than hoppy. Thin. Meh.
