This Brown Ale has a touch of nuttiness provided by our good friends Mr. and Mrs. Victory and Munich Malt. The addition of Northern Brewer, Cascade, and Willamette hops smooth this beer out to create an incredibly drinkable Brown Ale.

Bottle from aplusbreaks. Thanks, Austin!. Pours a deep but thin mahogany with a sharp aroma of nutty wine and old house. Flavor is a subtly smoky roasted nut with a slight finish of caramel and butterscotch. Average mouthfeel. Not a bad beer; I would session this. For my Buster boy!

Dark brown color, with a fluffy beige head, leaving laces, toasty, caramel malt nose, with a buttery hazelnut, chestnut accent, with some toffee, cookie dough notes, hints of chocolate, dried fig in the aroma folows through on a medium-bodied palate with a sweet toasty, nutty character, with a cookie dough, toffee accent, with some hnits of coffee bean roastiness and dark chocolate, leading towards a malty, lingering roasted bitterness finish.

Crushed with Jakebra. Literally smells like poop. Seriously. Was scared to taste it. Actually not as bad as expected. Some nice roast, chocolate, and nuttiness in there. Still doesn’t make it a good brew.

Poured a medium brown with the thickest white head I’ve ever seen on a beer - thought I had just poured a rootbeer. Aroma was of a carbonated beverage - and the taste was more carbonation... didn’t care for this beer at all - actually was quite disappointed. If you want a good Nut Brown Ale try a Carolina Nut Brown - but avoid this poor excuse for one. Terrible label... even worse beer.

Has a caramel pop upfront but really not much else to talk about. Throw this one in the run-of-the-mill-mediocre-brown-ale bin. Won’t buy it again.

Bottle. Pours a clear dark reddish brown amber with a 1 finger creamy beige head with decent. The nose is light chocolate and roasted nuts. Taste is earthy cocoa, mild caramel and light malt. Not much going on in this one. Light-to-medium mouth feel. Meh, nothing wrong with it just kinda boring.

finally got an uninfected bottle. it only took half a dozen or so soured tries...

pours an orange tinted medium brown with a barely off white head and moderate spots of lace. darker than the usual nut brown but still clear. the aroma is mostly caramel malty. there are some nutty notes along with a copper-y metallic smell (not in a bad way. more mineral that metal). the flavor is quite caramel-y with some nuttiness and faint chocolate notes. prickly hops tingle the tongue on the finish. surprisingly creamy slick mouth feel with a medium to full body.

this is not bad at all... sadly i had to drink five bad one’s to get it! this would be a nice go to session brew in the consistency were upheld. 6/3/6/4/14/3.3

Bottle courtesy of aplusbreaks. Pours brown with a thin white head. Smells nutty and earthy. Tastes of yogurt and tarte. Meh.
