Sample from beer fest. Going off notes. Poured a hazy brown color with a smaller tan head. Aroma was caramel, malts, and pecan. Flavor was dominated by nuts and pecans. Coffee caramel notes also in there. Good beer, but just something not there with this one.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tasted on tap at the brewpub. Medium brown color (no red) with chill haze and moderate off-white foam which subsided fairly quickly, leaving much more lace than I expected (perhaps added protein from the nuts?) Nicely aromatic: toast, coffee, roasted grain, very distant English hops. Flavor was mild malt-sweetness, refined hops flavor with tannins and meatiness of pecans, some fruity yeast esters, lasting bittersweet aftertaste. Light body with low carbonation which seemed increasingly watery as it warmed. Other than the real nuts, this is a pretty true to the Northern English Brown Ale style (e.g. Newcastle,) drier due to hops and roasted barley, much less caramel than maltier Southern English Brown ales. One of the only unique recipes at Ferguson Brewery. Not as tasty as I’d hoped but I would order it again. Very good with dinner, best served cold.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at The Bridge. Pours a bright, mostly clear amber-brown color with a small off-white head. Aroma has a huge pecan note in it, with brown sugar, toasted caramel malts, buttered toast, and coffee. The flavor really drops out from the promising nose, though, and comes off as a watered-down version of it. Light-bodied, with modest carbonation and a watery, toasty mouthfeel. Could be better.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Shaker pint draft at Ozzies in St Louis, Missouri. Pour is a clear brown copper with more or less no head. Aroma is nutty, along with a touch of generic malt sweetness. Taste is the nutty maltiness of the nose, along with some bright floral sweetness. Palate is medium, a bit slick. Straight forward decent brown.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tried a sampler and it had a brown color with a decent head that faded slowly. Traces of nut and grain aroma and a slight bitterness. Not a bad beer, much better than expected. I would try another one.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours mahogany brown with a light beige head. The aroma has toasty nutty malt, lots of pecans, nice amount of sweetness and some green apple. Medium / light body with minor carbonation. The flavor starts with a sweetness to the malt, then there is a lot of smooth nuttiness. The finish is smooth and malty with a little bit of spice ans some sharper tastes. Quite nice.
