Light brown with ruby highlights in color and a msall white lacing. Sweet malt aroma with notes of choclate and roasted malt. Starts faintly sweet,malty with a bitter,dry roasted finish.

A Nut Brown, very similar to Newcastle according to the waitress. Not really. My fist reaction to the flavor was that it was too sweet with not much else going on. After a few more sips it still had that initial sweet bite but turned quite bland and almost watery. Appearance was dark brown topped with a small head. Not much lacing on the glass. Not much aroma either, especially for something that should be quite flavorful. The beer was merely average and rather bland all around. I’ve found that most of the beers at this place are in the average range.
