Clear dark brown in colour with average head. light malt nose with slight fruit hints. smooth malt taste that seems to linger so as to keep enjoying the flavour. fairly good lace

Pours a maple syrup colour. Sweet malts, burnt caramel, and some nutiness on the nose...some sweetness and roasty malts on the palate. One and done kind of beer

Nice burnt caramel colour. A bit of skunky aroma with a hint of smokiness. A stale nutty flavour with a hint of smoke and skunk.

UPDATED: APR 14, 2012 Dark reddish brown colour with white head. Slight aroma of sweet malts. Taste is subtle, sweet malts, some roastiness. Kind of watery. Some good elements here, but nothing very pronounced.

A Nut Brown Dead Frog is a British frog. Most flavourful of the four in the mixed pack, but that ain’t sayin’ much.

341 ml bottle from The Beer Store (part of Winter Mixer). Pours a clear dark amber colour with small light tan head. Aroma is nutty, with a hint of mild choclate. Flavour is similar though slightly sour. A touch watery. Ok.

Pours a rich clear brown colour, with a small off-white head. Aroma is of grain malts, slight caramel and lots nut scents. Taste is a little dry with a slight sweetness throughout, fairly malty. Medium body, softer carbonation, smooth on the palate. Overall a serviceable brown ale.

Draught at Beachside Restaurant on Marina Dr., West Vancouver
Brown color. Light nutty aroma (and also detergent, but this is the fault of the pipes at Beachside restaurant on Marina Drive). Weak body, light caramel and nutty flavor, dry. Correct bitterness. Simple, but it’s balanced, and pleasant.

Bottle. Dark pour. filmy white head. light lacing. Bland aromas of caramel, toasted malts, some faint chocolate and sweet almond. Taste is similar. Faint toasted notes, some caramel and not much else. Slightly bitter finish. Not bad. not great. I probably wouldn’t buy again but I would try it off tap.

Bottle. Dark amber, clear, decent tan head. Little aroma of caramel, nuts, toast. Light body, soft carbonation. Taste of toffee, nuts, a little hops. An ok nut brown, nothing more.
