Jan 18, 2009 Pours nice brown color with ok effervescence. Then things went downhill from there. Not much lacing. Yeasty aroma. Not much maple syrup flavor came through. Finish notes were bitter, hoppy. I think there are better brown ales available.

Jan 14, 2009 Pours brown with a nice nutty, maple aroma. Flavor is very sweet and syrupy. Could use a little balance.

Jan 7, 2009 This is brown water that kind of smells good. Almost no head, and certainly no flavor. Budweiser is more identifiable from water than this. Steer clear.

Jan 3, 2009 12 oz bottle pour into shaker. "Drink within 4 months of March 2008," so this bottle is a few months overdue. Hopefully it won’t affect it too much.
Pours a dark, but clear red-brown. Thick, frothy off-white head craters as it dissolves.
Roasty aroma. Matly aroma. Nuts in there too.
Matly flavor with slight nut in the beginning. Not picking up on too much maple. Wonderful nut finish comes about 5-10 seconds after swallowing!
Slighty dry, but very nutty finish.
Notes: This is my first "Nut Brown Ale" so the high ranking comes from my surprise that these things actually taste like nuts! This could be my new favorite beer style.

Dec 31, 2008 Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival 2008. Dark amber color. Strong aroma and flavor of rye bread. Too sweet and syrupy.

Dec 30, 2008 Bottle. Sweet aroma, with definite maple notes. Brown body, small head. Flavor is a disappointment, compared to the aroma. Overly mild, although not unpleasant.

Dec 24, 2008 This poured a nice brown color with an off white head. Aroma was roasted malts, brown sugar and nuts. Flavor was very nutty, and quite pleasing, better than I would have expected. The maple flavor is almost not there at all.
