COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Inspired by traditional English session beers, our brown ale is brewed with specialty Caravienne and Victory malts which produce a slight toasty, nutty character combined with light additions of chocolate malt leaving a tawny - brown color.

Light brown with a lasting head. Sturdy nutty-toast nose. Deliciously smooth with hazelnut flavors and mellow bitterness. Good.

Very nice beer!!! Made up for the disappointment when they did not have any stout left. This beer had a nice malt smell and flavor. Kept to its nutty name. The aroma was one of the best I have ever smelt! A must whenever you are in the area.

egajdzis (4896) - Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 27, 2008
Poured a clear brown color with a small, light tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malts, nuts, and a bit of roast. Taste of caramel, nuts, roasted malts, and some cocoa. Creamy mouthfeel, one of the better beers from this brewpub.

freekyp (1411) - Thomasville, North Carolina, USA - JAN 20, 2003
UPDATED: DEC 15, 2007 Nut brown, but where’s the nut ? Weak and watery. Slight honey character. ****Re-Rate, 02/13/2005**** Boo-yaaa. New brewer. Muuuuch better. Strong espresso with a hint of dirt in the aroma, this brew delivers in the flavor department as well. Medium-bodied and earthy throughout, the dry finish closes the lightly bitter finish. This brew is all about the balance.

tsarman (794) - Northern, New Jersey, USA - JUL 20, 2004
Nut brown color, but not brown nut taste. Smooth beer. Smells stronger than it tastes. A little too thin on the taste.

hopdog (7652) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 25, 2005
On tap at the Brew Pub. Poured a dark brown color with a small off white head. Aromas and tastes of nuts and caramel. Malty.

TomDecapolis (4221) - Lawrence, Kansas, USA - DEC 1, 2006
Pours a brown with ruby and an average creamy off white head that left slight lacing. Aroma very toasty, nuts, roasted almonds, some coffee grinds and a light hop presence. Flavors of the same...although slightly toned down from the aroma. Slightly on the thin side.

blipp (4782) - Newark, New Jersey, USA - MAR 14, 2010
Draft. Pours red brown with a beige head. Light roasty aroma with some lighter sweet malty notes. The flavor is roasty and nutty with a light butterscotchy sweetness. Decent.

Nice nut brown color. Haggard aroma. Good flavor but a little thin on flavor and palate if that makes sense. arr

BBB63 (5406) - La Porte, Indiana, USA - JAN 15, 2004
Brown hue with light tan head and good lace. The aroma hinted of roasted chocolate malts, hazelnut, rye bread, aromatic fuggles hops, dates, butterscotch. The taste is nutty and malty with a good dash of bitters. A bit buttery upon the finish. Soild mouthfeel for the style not too thin and not too heavy. A good brown ale, quaffable, enjoyable.
