May 28, 2007 Draft- Let me just say that I loved this beer more than the whole rest of the flight I enjoyed at the brewery, aside from the Horny Devil. Yes, it is not a "big beer", and it does not weigh in at over 6 percent. But, in terms of drinkability, it is incredible. Super chocolate, roasty, coffee smoothness, balanced by some noble English hops. I got a growler of the Oln Numbskull while at the brewery. If I had to do it over again, i would grab this, and I HATE brown ales.

Apr 3, 2003 I had a sample of this on tap at the AleSmith brewery and really enjoyed it. It has a delicous, nutty flavor to it, almost like peanutbutter. Mouthfeel is very smooth and creamy. Beautiful color and head. An excellent ale.

Aug 24, 2007 On Tap Hamiltons. The best nutbrown made. Rich viscosity with a deep hazelnut brown. Rich head and full bodied. flavors/aromas of hazelnut, toasted malt and lightly very lightly chocolate.

Apr 6, 2006 I don’t usually post my stuff on RateBeer because I’m lazy but the guys at AleSmith were really great to talk with. This beer had nice color. It balances hops and sweet chocolate better than any beer I’ve seen. Another greaat accomplishment by my new favorite brewery.

Jan 26, 2008 On tap at The Red in Santa Cruz.
Ruddy dark brown, decent 1 finger head colored tan. Adequate retention.
Big toffee and caramel aromas, roasty chocolatey malt.
Nice toasty malt background to a sweet toffee note. Rich and nutty. Very English.
A little light on body but not distractingly so. A great tasting beer that you can go through several pints of.
