COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This brown ale has a deep brown tone and an exceptionally creamy head which is derived from imported crystal malts. The crystal malts are also responsible for a rich, nutty flavor. Mild hop presence from imported Fuggles and Brewers Gold balance the unique malt combination

In a four-way brown ale tasteoff, this Capital Brown took the cake by a nose. It had the best aroma (slightly nutty) and came with a cloudy, cumulus-like head. The flavor wasn’t nutty, but was full and flavorful (though not heavy). One of my favorite browns.

Granted, the only other Brown Ale I’ve had is Newcastle, which I think is great, but this is better. This beer makes Newcastle seem watered down.

Brownish,red color.Small head that faded very quickly.Sweet malt aroma with a faint hint of coffee and or chocolate,some hops as well as a very very mild hint of alcohol.Malty taste,sweet,well hopped mild nuttiness to it as in the description.The after taste is malt with a good hop bitterness that lasts for some time.It has a medium feel in the mouth and a pretty decent carbonation.This is a great brew from them and thanks to Wawood for getting me one.

Good strong caramelly malt with bitter undertones of nutshells and hops. It’s pretty carbonated and if you sip it right away the harsher, biterer tones stand in the rough texture. But as it warms, mellows, and settles, it turns positively rich and the bitter accents fade behind a creamier, exquite round maltiness. Yum!

Almost like an authentic German alt. Might be more alt-like w/ Hallertauer or Tettenger instead of the Fuggles and Brewers, but it’s a good German ale nonetheless. Nutty, as everyone mentions, creamy, and rich.

12 oz bottle. Decent nutty and sweet malt aroma. Body lokked more like tea brown but held to light a good looking amber body with thin off white head. Thin body but there was plenty of flavor. Light nut, coffee, sweet malt, light bitterness and finishes with some chocolate. One of the best I’ve had from this brewery.
