Oak Creek Nut Brown Ale

Brewed by Oak Creek Brewing Co.
Style: Brown Ale
Sedona, Arizona USA

Bottle. Pours a clear reddish brown with a half finger tan head. The nose is light roasted nuts and caramel malt. The taste is light chocolate, malt and more roasted nuts in the finish followed by a slight bitter aftertaste. Medium bodied. An ok brown.

12oz bottle via trade with daknole. thanks, dak! pours brown with a thin, bubbly khaki head and a mild ring of lace. aroma is nice with notes of sweet caramel, honey roasted peanuts, cereal grains, and a touch of grass. flavor is solid as well with earthy, grassy hops up front backed by roasted, nutty malts, and mild caramel with a slight metallic twang. palate is on the lighter side of medium bodied with fizzy carbonation and a light finish. overall, decent brown ale.

(12oz bottle thanks to Mora2000) Pours clear brown with good bubbles. Nose is sweet honey, nuts, and brown sugar. Taste is nuts, very light roast, and sugar. Undercarbonated but smooth and style appropriate.

I had this draft in, of course, Arizona, as a draft beer at J-Bar in Tucson. Looks like a nut brown. Dark but not opaque, creamy head, some lacing. Some hazlenut flavor, some dark malt, a little hop in the finish, a little light and thin in the mouth. About right for a nut brown, which is far from my favorite style.

Bottle courtesy of MDS! Thanks Mr. Stich! Pours dark brown, slightly transparent, with a fizzy medium sized beige head. Aromas mainly consist of roasted malt with a side plate of nuts. Pretty sweet nutty flavours with a punch of hops to try to balance. Litle too sweet maybe. Lacks complexity, but ok for what it is. A new state thanks to MDS!

12 oz bottle, via FlacoAlto. Mahogany colored body under a fizzy off-white head that faded quickly. Aroma of toasted malt with a light nuttiness, but also slightly grainy. Flavor is a mix of nuttiness and very light roast. The negative grainy nature of this comes out in the finish. Light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall, average for a Brown Ale and below average in the overall context of the world of beer.

Clear brown with medium beige head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, caramel and hops. Sweet flavor with roasted malt, caramel and chocolate notes. Ends sweet.

Picked up a six pack of this on the way to the cabin. A little disappointed was I. I’ve had it on tap in Sedona where it’s brewed and thought it was better out of the pipe. Poured a clear light brown with a mild tan head. Taste is simple, light, thin and with strong notes of roasted nuts. Goes down easy enough (I still finished the six pack) but it felt like it was missing something.
