bottle-im still not much of a fan of browl ales, but this one was pretty good. The aroma was the best i have ever smelled for this style-normal brown ale appearance and flavor was a more on the chocolate side. not to shabby!

Deep ruby auburn color. Aroma is very nutty with TONS of caramel, almost like unfermented caramel malt with lots of coffee and chocolate notes to boot, very rich for a nut brown, almost like fresh made wort mixed in the end. Flavor is a little more bitter but the rich caramel and chocolate is very present. Finish was wet and slightly sweet and bitter. Overall this is a great nut brown with lots of good flavors associated with the style. The toffee/caramel notes in this one are exceptionally well pronounced. Thanks dmwhal!

Good malt aroma. Body is well balanced with the malt and nut flavors. Finishes drier with each sip. A decent brew.

Translucent, brown-amber body with a small white head that mostly (but never completely) diminished. Aroma of chocolate, nuts, and some hop fragrance. Smells like a porter. Subtle flavor of caramel malt, molasses, and pine nuts. Not too cloying like many brown ales, but does get a little chalky. This beer starts out very unassuming and the aftertaste is initially vanishing, however the flavor builds and improves with each sip. Easy drinking.

Slightly dark brown appearance, with a small white head. Aromas were missing at first, but after it warmed up there were some nuts, hops, coffee. Too watery for my liking, just seemed like the brewer wasn't trying.

Thanks to Dogbrick for this bottle. Not a bad beer. Browns just don't do it for me. Had a faint malt flavor but that was about it. Otherwise tasted like a beer.

Dark in color. Lightish and very easy to drink. Slight nuttiness in the malt was enjoyable. Has a little toast too. Only a slight bitterness at the end; seems well balanced.

White frothy head. Good brown color. Not much apparent carbonation. Slowly diminishing head. Good nutty flavor.
