Good malty and nutty beer. Not overpowering on the malts or the nut. The beer had that distinctive nut brown color.

Tap. Light brown pour with a nice white head. Nuts, berries, chocolate. Soft sweet and bitter finish. A bit sweeter but is a decent effort ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

rosenbergh (4655) - Helsinki, FINLAND - SEP 2, 2012
Draught at the Fette Sau, New York, NY.
Dark reddish amber colour with small creamy off-white head. Mild malty aroma with sugary sweetness, brown sugar and nuts. Toffee and sugary sweetness, sweet maltiness and mild nuttiness in flavour. Too sweet for me.

Draft from a cafe in Williamsburg. This brown ale is stout smooth with mild notes of almonds and chocolate. No discernible hop flavors, but this light-medium bodied beer paired very nicely with my steak dinner.
