(On tap) Cloudy, dark brown with a vague, orange hue and a creamy, beige head that leaves a neat lacework. Aroma of hard roasted malts and only a discreet smoky touch. Fairly solid and dense body dominated by both roasted and burned malts - and yes, some nuts as the description suggests. Rather hoppy finish with a bitterness from both hops and malts. Very decent. 080408
