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.

jhgrantjr (295) - Tennessee, USA - FEB 27, 2013

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

Caytinator (577) - Tucson, Arizona, USA - DEC 5, 2012

1/2 pint at the Brewpub Little Rock (still called Downtown Brown as of this writing) . Pour is brown, all right, with a small stable head and no lacing. It’s well-balanced, with equal parts bitters and malt, and just a little bit "nutty". Not FULL of taste, but an interesting offering nonetheless.

AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20

ChainGangGuy (4123) - Marietta, Georgia, USA - SEP 27, 2012

Appearance: Served up a bright, clear, amber-brown body topped with an ivory-hued head.

Smell: Credible maltiness with apparent notes of caramel, brown sugar, nuts, toast, as well as darker malty notes of mild-mannered coffee and chocolate. Some faint estery hints, too.

Taste: Goodly malty brew with varied nuts of brown sugar, heavily toasted nuts, lightly caramel, and even some coffee and chocolate. Scantly estery with a low fruitiness. Pinch of herb, lightly bitter. Malty, smooth finish.

Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium carbonation.

Overall: A charming, fittingly malty, English-minded ale.

Steasy66 (542) - Minnesota, USA - SEP 3, 2012

On tap at the brewpub, light brown, super bland, a bit malty and little else.

Pawola22 (3110) - 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.

Draft sampler pours brown with a off white head. Aroma is malt, nuts and a hint of spice. Taste is sweet malts, nutty and spice.

DrinkEmUpJones (1018) - Georgia, USA - APR 8, 2012

Cloudy dark caramel. Light nose of cereal amd brown sugar. Caramel and nut flavors on a medium-full bodied, well rounded palate. Browns aren’t my favorite, i find them thin often, but this one holds up really well.
