3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft @ brewpub. Deep, deep red-brown. Caramel aroma. Soft, gentle palate. Nutty flavors. Integrated diacetyl. Could use a more assertive malt character but otherwise it’s just fine. Refreshing, juicy with nice bready finish.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bright nut brown colour. Nutty aroma with a hint of diacetyl. Tastes the same - maybe with a bit of harshness on the palate. I guess it’s okay for a brown.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Not a nut brown fan, and this wasn’t that great anyway. A little too sweet. All malt and a little watery. Overall boring and not something to drink a lot of.
