Reviewed from notes.
Pours a moderate brown color with an off white head and a small amount of lacing. The nose is a moderate amount of malt plus some small notes of toffee and caramel. A bit of light nutty character. The taste is moderately malty without too much going on. The feel is fairly light with nice balance. Drinks fairly well, but is fairly ordinary.
Serving type: on-tap

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Nice rich brown coloured body with a thin lighter brown/tan head. Aroma of what else - nuts, with roasted malt, caramel and a bit of brown sugar. Medium-bodied; Strong roasty flavours throughout with nuts, nuts and more nuts in the flavour, coupled with alcohol and some caramel. Aftertaste shows some good bitter tastes, but just too much nuttiness and not enough hops or sweetness as a balance. Overall, decent, but I prefer other beers in this style and definitely other beers from the brewpub. I sampled this on draught in June 2010.
