COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This American Style brown ale has a more distinct hop character than its English counterparts. The nutty flavor comes from the chocolate and crystal malts used in the recipe.

Papsoe (25131) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - APR 23, 2006

ATOmemphis (200) - Franklin, Tennessee, USA - JAN 17, 2006

Poured a dark gold/light brown color. Nose was malty with light hops which were (barely) detectable in the taste. Flavors of caramel and fruit were present. Had thin lacing, and the body was quiet light. Better than the average beer, but not an A+ student.

kevd193213 (789) - Hope Valley, Rhode Island, USA - DEC 10, 2011

On draught. Light brown pour with a tiny off white head. Aroma of faint malt and hazelnut. Thin mouthfeel, not much to this one. A session for sure with nothing that stands out.

Pawola22 (3074) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - AUG 15, 2012

On tap at the brewpub in Little Rock, AR. Pours a lightly hazed, lighter brown colored body with a thin, frothy, beige head that dissipates quickly and leaves a light lacing. Aroma has a light caramel sweetness, nuts, and some earth. Flavor is similar. Lightly sweetened and toasted caramels up front with some nuts and a light earth in the middle. Finishes somewhat dry and lightly bitter with some roasts coming out and a light caramel sweetness before leaving a medium length aftertaste. Medium body and a moderate carbonation. Overall, a decent brown ale. Some nutty sweet caramels with light toast and roast notes. Easy drinking and decent.

Sample at Boscos in Memphis. Pours a nice brown color with small off-white head. Aroma of roasted nuts, caramel, brown sugar, malts, chocolate. Taste is malty with some caramel. A smooth taste. There is some hop character at the end with some bitterness, and the palate is lightly thick. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

mountainforest (128) - Mississippi, USA - JUN 4, 2010

Great description. Fantastic write-up. Valiant effort. High goals. But I’m afraid a bottled Newcastle beats this on tap. Not a bad beer, just not a memorable/unique beer.
