Draught at the brewpub
Dark maple syrup, light ruby color. Light head, light lacing. Nose of mapyle syrup and butterscotch. Toasty like peanut brittle too. the flavor is a bit dry and thin bodied for all that sweetness in the nose but it’s good.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours clear and golden dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is roasted malty and slight breadish. Ends dry, roasted and malty. Roasted malty and slight bitter finish.

on tap at brewery. clear dark copper, almost pale brown with a decent off-white head. cereals,malty, very nutty, hint of sweetness, hint of honey, vanilla. nice hop profile - floral, grassy and citrus, but mainly floral. light to medium body, aggressive carbonation. fairly decent nut brown. yep.

Draught, from the brewery. A fairly standard brown, not bad not too good. low characters arrgh.

light in colour, malted notes and some sweetness again, some caramel. palate is caramel and some nutty bitterness but it is a light brew.

Tap at Brutopia. Pours a medium to light brown with a thinning head. Aroma is toffee, caramel, light nuts and chocolate but a medium to large diacetyl character gets bigger as it warms. Flavor is more butter, toast, slick plastic, burnt toast, chocolate and nuts with some earthy and mineral hints in the end. Meh.

Draft. Pours a dark bruin body with an off white head. Burnt malt body with a hint of toast and light butter. Licorice and light caramel tone. Thin and light, if not for the butter...

Off clear brown look and small tan cap. Alefruit and dry hoips in aromas and taste, nice drinkability, decent.

Draught at the brewpub. Dark brown colour. Sparkling. Very small light brown head. The flavour is slightly roasted. Hint of cream and sweetness, but not much. A little OK earth in the finish.

Clear dark brown body, with a thin head and some nice lacing. Smells of roasted malts, with some hazelnut nuttiness and dark fruits. The taste kicks off with an awesome combination of roastiness and sweetness. Some pronounced hazelnut notes. Medium-bodied and exceptionally smooth. Highly drinkable. This is one of the best nut brown ales I’ve ever had and is virtually as good as the original from Samuel Smith’s, which I recently had, and it’s still fresh in my memory. The fact that many people rated this much lower makes me wonder if I just tried it from a very good batch, though...

nice aroma of sweet nuts, and some good bready malt. Flavor is more of the same with a odd almost sour finish.
