3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Two things that I must ask, "Is it just me?" 1)Didn’t this used to be called Hex Nut Brown Ale? 2)Has the recipe changed? I seem to remember the richness of this changing over time. Regardless it was quite nice and nutty in all it’s incarnations. Serving: Bottle

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a pilsner glass (thought I would try it out). Pours a nice head that fizzles down quickly.
Color is a nice toasty dark brown. Smell is just like the taste. Roasted malts are present. A nice decent amount of hops are clear also, making the balance excellent.
The mouthfeel is pretty awesome,very smooth and there is a hint of alcohol present when left floating around inside.
I really like brown ales and this one is pretty good representation of they style.
