Sep 30, 2009 9/26/09 notes: poured at GABF. Good name. Aroma and flavors have a satisfying creamy blend of semisweet chocolate, caramel, mixed nuts and toffee. I thought Double Nut lacked the subtleties of Madura. But I’d easily give it another shot.

Sep 30, 2009 Auburn brown in color. Taste is roast, biscuit, chocolate. Slightly sweeter than the Maduro Brown. I do detect a tinge of artificial flavor; nothing offputting however. Alcohol well hidden. I liked this better than the Maduro.

Sep 26, 2009 Skyview Tasting 2.5. Courtesy of Skyview. Dark brown color with a very thin head. Aroma of... nothing. Sweet nutty flavor and a mild malty note. Very plain.

Sep 26, 2009 Tasting GABF. Brown and dark with thick milkshake head. Big malts in aroma, sweeter like chocolate malt but also a little salty spice. also lots of toasty burnt notes in flavor with chocolate and salted nuts. Very full-bodied and thick for a brown.

Sep 22, 2009 750ml bottle. Aroma at first is a lot of acetone with a tootsie-roll malt profile. The alcohol asserts itself quite prominently after warming. Just a tiny bit of toasted nuts, coffee and charred wood(?) as well. Pours a muddy brown with little head. Flavor is sweet, boozy (esp. for 9%) with a very odd vegetal note. Lots of alcohol. Maybe some roasted nuts and a tiny bit of bitter chocolate. Really not a whole lot going on. Creamy texture with average carbonation. Thanks again Bob!

Sep 21, 2009 750mL bottle. dark brown pour with a touch of ruby to it. a finger or so tan head and some sudsy stick. nice sweet nutty aroma with toffee, alcohol and subtle spices. thin to medium oily palate. quite a bit going on in the flavor: the cocoa and sweet earthy malts are backed up by a salty (soy?) bitterness. hints of tobacco and honey too. none of the flavors take over - which is a compliment. not sure they totally work together - which isn’t. overall very interesting though.

Sep 21, 2009 750 bottle shared by Shyam. My thanks for contributing to a great Brown Ale month for me. Nose is chocolate soil, roasty hazelnuts and amaretto, dark coffee. Color is a full brownish black with good brown head. Flavor much the same and comes together very nicely. Like a nuttier version of Pullman that turns out to be sweeter.
