COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Gabriel's Gate English-style Nut Brown Ale is a smooth, dark-brown ale gets it�s nuttiness from the use of roasted malts and English Ale yeast. With a medium body and a full flavor, this beer pairs nicely with just about anything on the menu. English hops finish off the recipe and keep it true to its overseas origins. Brewed with Pale, Crystal and Pale Chocolate malts. Hopped with Kent Golding hops. Brewed for Gabriel's Gate (Buffalo).

On tap at Gabriel’s Gate in Buffalo. I never knew that they had a house beer, even if it is contract-brewed. Regardless, I was impressed with this. Poured a dark opaque brown. Smelled strongly of coffee and hazelnut....strong coffee scent. Flavor was similar, smooth and sweet throughout. Not much bitterness. I really enjoyed this, I wouldn’t mind drinking it all night.

2010 Autumn Festival of Ales. Nice brown pour. Nutty malty aroma. The flavor was of toasted nutty malts with a slight hop bite.

dirty pirates tried to steal this. It was a smokey brew that would have made even a firefighter proud.

translucent dark brown with little/no head. thin body with chocolate/coffee notes, light malt and a mild bitter. nice tight carbonation. the light body makes it a decent session beer and a nice accompaniment to the wings. its nothing to write home about (the flavor isn’t horrible complex and the palate is slightly watery) but it beats the sierra and blue moon alternatives. i’ll definitely order another my next time in.

Faint toasty malt aroma with some sweet hops. Nice toasted malt flavor, a little bitterness and a light spicy finish.

Had this on tap at Gabriel's Gate in Buffalo (Allentown). Pours a transparent mahogany with virtually no head. Nose is roasty with maybe a hint of malty-caramel in there. Start is very smoky/dusky tasting with a finish that has hints of chocolate and caramel. Smooth. The smokiness kills this beer.
