Morrisons Chestnut Beer

Bottle. Brown and came in a clear bottle. Lots of maltiness and a nutty aroma. Medium body but not enough presence to be a wiinterale, which it claims to be. Still quite reasonable.

Displeasing copper penny and long-dead boiled hop/vegetable aroma with some reasonable nutty and jellied red fruit and orange notes wriggling out as it warms. Quite full and creamy considering it’s filtered; deep chestnut with a fleetingly dimpled ivory head. Not unpleasantly woodsy nut bitterness, vanilla, peanut. Lingers quite astringently like chewed pencil. Rabbit hutch and sprouty fumes kicking in; herbal hop traces. Overall: better than expected.

Bottle picked up in Morrisons, Tewksbury, 01-03-09 and consumed the same day Pours brown with an off white head. Aroma is quite sweet, artificially so. Tastes too sweet and yes maybe it is nutty but syrupy as well, tastes pasteursied too me, not impressed. A4 A4 F3 P2 OV7 2.0

From bottle. Aroma of sweet chestnuts. Nutty. Deep brown colour with a thin white head. Simple but very good bitter ale. Well balanced texture. Good session beer.

I’ve never tasted chestnuts so I wouldn’t know if this is chestnutty or not! I liked it tho! Good roast malt flavours with a slightly spicy finish. Good effort I thought!

This wasn’t too pleasant - looked the part, with a rich mahogany colour, but the flavours were much too strong - ridiculously overly nutty.

Bottled, pasteurised, 500ml from Morrisons, Banbury. Chestnut brown with short white head. Absolutely over the top flavours, not necessarily quite what was expected, there is a big vegetal boiled character, sprouts, with a sweet nutty flavour and burnt sugar interlaced. Heavy and dominating. Not one to go back to.

Dark mahogany/ chestnut colour. Smells of smokey toffee/coffee. Slightly fizzy. Tastes of hops and malt with a smokey aftertaste.
