COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A beautiful deep brown hue and a nutty sweetness identify this style of ale from Northern England. Although malt and caramel flavor dominate, hops provide a medium level of bitterness at the finish.

chriso (7065) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - FEB 5, 2011
On draught at Downtown Grille, Knoxville on 8 July 2006 (as Woodruff Nut Brown Ale). Quite light coppery colour. Subtle soft malty notes with a hint of smoke. Not too much caramel (good for me). Just a hint of nuts. Easygoing and easy-drinking. Pleasant if undemanding.

Draft sample at the 13th Annual Knoxville Brewer’s Jam. Soda brown pour with a yellowish head that settles to a ring. Subdue malt aroma. The flavor found caramel and nut. Light body and a nutty malt aftertaste.

Had this with the Downtown Grill & Brewery sampler. It was my favorite. It was very smooth and had good flavor.

markwise (2914) - North of Tampa, Florida, USA - MAR 21, 2008
This beer’s flavor was hidden amongst a bit of water. It has hints of nuttiness with slight hops in the finish. Very little lace in the glass upon finishing. Simple beer.
