sweet nutty delicious. deep brown color, strong aroma of mixed planters nuts (roasted-no salt) i could chug a 6er easy. most brown ales are created pretty equal- this one is a notch above

01.13.05 12oz bottle. Cola brown coor with tiny beige head that fades quickly to a thin ring. Aroma is lightly roasty (coffee, toasted walnut), and some maple with leafy hops and metallic hints. Body is smooth with a pleasing eff, long wet finish. Good session stuff, but I’d prefer the equally present Brooklyn with its mild acidity.

Just not a fan of the brown ale style, I can’t tell what it is, but I don’t like it. I would much rather drink a porter. I love the way this beer looked and was excited to try it, but just the same brown ale flavor that I don’t like re-rate sample in tasting room: aroma is of chocolate malt, with light hop in background. Brown in color. Flavor was slightly chocolaty with a nice nutty taste. I really liked it better than the bottle that I had sampled last summer. slightly watery palate. But I liked it a lot.

On tap at brewery. Real nice, nutty, smooth. dark brown. Perfect antidote to an overused palate. Not too strong but just veyr well balanced, flavorful, easy to drink, nothing offensive about it.

12 oz bottle-pours a 2 finger high, creamy tan head that laces. Deep amber color. Aroma is deep malt, sweet. Taste is malt, sugar, mild. Good carbonation. Mouthfeel is a bit on the thin side. Bottled on 7/20/05.

Bottle courtesy of kramer17801.Brown in color, mahogany edges when held to light, off white head. ice lacing. Aroma very muted, standard sweet malt with slight nuttiness background. Flavor again caramel malt sweetness, nutty character really hidden. Grainy residuel aftertaste. Agree with others slightly undercarbonated, don’t think it really detracts though.

where is the carbonation in this thing. Pours with virtually no head at all. Otherwise, it’s an OK beer. Good nutty, malty aroma. Taste is the same. Not exceptionally sweet. Some of that nutty/cherry flavor that comes in this style. Not much bitterness or hops at all. Severely undercarbonated.

12-oz. bottle via trade with kramer17801. Pours dark nut brown with a small tan foamy head that diminishes to a patchy film. Nutty caramel malt aroma with a maple and raisin nose. Nutty malt and light chocolate, cocoa flavor, brown sugar notes and a light yeast finish. Medium bodied and fizzy palate.
