Great brown ale. Nuttiness ensues. Creamy malt with a touch of hops makes this an easy drinking, thirst quencher.

Coffee undertone, chocolate, smokey hoppy flavor. Nut brown by Troegs is a very good beer. Again, another brew that may not be receiving the accolades it deserves. Its definitely creamy textured. I’m going to say again, Pennsylvania rocks and so does Troegs beers. Not a disappointment anywhere in sight.

Pours dark brown, with aroma of malt, nuts, some toffee. Tastes malty, nutty, with a hint of caramel sweetness at the finish.

[bottle] Pours a deep ruby red with a quickly dissipating head and lots of carbonation. Nice aroma of coffee and malt with possibly a touch of chocolate. Good coffee flavor with a bitter malt backbone and a slightly bitter finish. Thanks Warrior.

Poured a dark reddish-brown with a very small tan head. Aroma of chocolate, nuts and light spices. Tastes of nuts with chocolate undertones. Smells better than it tastes (I expected more after initially smelling the beer).

Dark brown in color. Poured a thick tan head. Hop & malt aromas. Malt hits first with slight nutty finish.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer pours a nice mahogany color with a small tan head. The aroma is a strong and pleasant scent of fruit and nut. The flavor is strongly of hazelnut with a moderate amount of smokyness. The smoke lingers on the aftertaste and was the factor that ended up turning me off to this beer. The draft version is much sweeter and has no smoke presence, but the nut is greatly reduced as well.

Sort by: Latest High Low Top Reviewers feloniousmonk (1268.3) ( Minneapolis, Minnesota ) [ 3.95 / 5 ] Clearish, caramelly-brown color, with ruby tinges. Head is proper, solid, cocoa-tan in color. Distinctly nutty aroma, creamy, with hints of cocoa and soft spices. A very pleasant meet and greet with the nose, with evidence of carbonation trickling in. Smmooooth drinking, but not uncomplicated either: nice hoppiness, what there is, and big, tasty malt, very flavorful. Finish impressively lingers on the palate, never seeming to wish to quit the mouth. Fine by me. Taste is rich, full, body is medium, drinkability is supreme, and offers many rewards. A happily finished brown, ..no, wait, there’s a few ounces left...Ah...
