COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Southern Pecan Nut Brown Ale is the first beer in the world, to our knowledge, made with whole roasted pecans. The pecans are used just like grain and provide a nutty characteristic and a delightful depth to the flavor profile. This beer is very lightly hopped to allow the malty, caramel, and nutty flavors shine through. The color is dark mahogany. Southern Pecan won a Bronze Medal in the 2006 World Beer Cup in the Specialty Beer category.

At yardbird on draft. Sweet pecan flavor. Smooth brown ale. Light carbonation. Aroma is not as good as the taste.

shadey (1756) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - JAN 21, 2013
12oz bottle. Pours a dark ruby with a wispy head of thin white cream. Aroma is sweet and nutty - although I wouldn’t call it distinctly pecan. The flavors are tough to put my finger on. Up front it is mildly nutty and a touch sweet, but as it washes over the tongue it becomes sweeter and more identifiable as candied nuts and caramel flavors. No hops to speak of. The low alcohol level is appreciated, but this something I would want to request seconds of.

Sampled in Florida. Great aroma, good appearance, lacking in flavor - the roasted pecan flavor is evident but there isn’t much else going on there.

Pershing (373) - Garland, Texas, USA - JAN 16, 2013
Clear copper with a thin beige head the dissolves quickly. Lots of visual carbonation in the form of tiny bubbles. Sweet malt aroma with no pecans detected. Medium body with a little too much carbonation added that gives an acidic taste. Bland finish.

Eckato (146) - Gulfport, Florida, USA - JAN 14, 2013
Poured without much of a head. Very smooth and nice flavor, was looking for something else because of the pecans, was surprised in a different way. Very drinkable, while nothing crazy great. Would purchase again.

vipinvelp (1156) - Velp, NETHERLANDS - JAN 9, 2013
Hazy dark brown with light brown foam head. Aroma is small, nutty and bit sweet. Beer is kind of watery, which affects the taste. Small bitter with some caramel and pecan. Short aftertaste. (Houston 201301)

jackl (2513) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - DEC 31, 2012
Bottle from Total Wine, Naples. The pour’s deep brown with a small head. The nose is shortbread, plenty of caramel, brown sugar. The taste is more strong caramel, sugar-coated nuts. Buttered scone. A hint of sweet peach juice. Slight artificial sweetness. Smooth body, soft carbonation. Overall, merely OK.

December 31, 2012 - bottle from my boy bvery. Brown pour with some head that faded quickly. Nut, caramel and roast in the aroma. Taste was very mild but faint caramel, nutty and some funky hops. Thanks for the Mississippi tick Brian!

finn1918 (145) - Georgia, USA - DEC 29, 2012
Pours a clear brown with no head at all... not sure what’s up with that. Aroma is sweet malts and pecans. Taste is oxidated, with some dry pecans and hop bitterness. This bottle may have been a dud, but this is not a particularly bad beer. Kind of boring, like brown ales tend to be.

ExpendableHero (656) - Florida, USA - DEC 21, 2012
Rich copper colored brew with a thin, white head. Aroma is distinctly of fresh pecans. Tastes of biscuit, earthy notes, and some funky pecans. Funky as in a bit too artificial. Sweet, nutty finish. Not bad, easy drinking, but not great either.
