Very dark brown in color with a sand color head On nose there are scents roasted syrup, malt and a hint of cinnamon french toast. This is a full bodied ale with roasted malt, caramel, chocolate, and coffee. The finish is shorter than I would like to see.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Tessic (611) - Brantford, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 8, 2009
This nut brown ale poured a deep, almost black colour with a nice big, creamy brown head. To the nose there are scents of roasted malts, nuts, caramel and coffee. First sip was very roasted with coffee flavours very prodominant. Others of roasty malts and a little hop make this a very nice Nut Brown. Slightly watery and creamy at the same time. Roasted flavours stay on the palate for quite some time.

Bottle. Pours a deep reddish-brown with a small tan head. Aroma is very malty, with detectable chocolate and caramel (maybe a roasted characteristic as well?). Taste is sweet, with malt up front, a bit of grain/hop in the middle, and a malt/chocolate/caramel/nut finish that pulls it all together. Not spectacular, but I really enjoyed this, and I’m surprised it rates so low.
