Commercial Description:
Brewed in the English tradition, Hex Nut Brown Ale combines the finest domestic and imported malts to produce a chestnut-hued ale of usual complexity. Subtle notes of chocolate, honey and fine tobacco give this world champion ale an enjoyable and satisfying "nutty" finish.

Pours very dark brown, with a fast dissipating tan head. Very nice chocolate malt and nutty aroma. The flavor is excellent, sweet and creamy roasted chocolate flavor with a nice nuttiness at the finish. Maybe I got a good bottle but I think this is an exceptional brown ale and deserving of a higher rating, wish I had more.

Slightly sweet aroma, with hints of cocoa. Pours a clear dark ruby, with a thin tan head. Nice sharp flavor, hints of nut, and a touch of chocolate in the finish. Not bad, but it isn’t the first thing I’ll reach for.

Got a six pack in Dayton Ohio. Smooth and a little sweet finish. Balanced and in general a good brown ale. Thumbs up.

Slight horseblanket wet dog aroma, sweet sugar and brown malt. Cola brown with a rich foamy tan head. Flavor is bitter brown leather and tobacco. Brown bread, some honey and floral notes. Palate is light with a slight sharp bite. Bitter woody duration.

No complaints. Yet another solid brew from the Goose, my Honkeybra’s favorite brewery. Standard brown ale, but not bad by any means. Lotsa nuts, some tobacco, and a hoppy dry finish.

Bottled@SBWF2008. Rubyish colour, small beige head. Aroma is bready malts, sweet fruity hops and some chocolate and nuts. Flavour is quite much the same. Quite pleasant brown ale. Semi-mouthdrying. Adtertaste and finish has some earhy and grassy.
