May 23, 2007 Growler. Poured hazy brown color with average fizzy off-white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate nutty toasted malt aroma. Medium body with a smooth textrure. Moderate toasted balanced flavor with an average bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Good next addition to the list of Mt. Carmel brews.

Jan 6, 2008 Growler. Im not a huge fan of Brown ales, but this one was pretty good. Pours a clear deep ambery brown, with a thin lasting head. Aroma is very nutty, biscuity, toasty and hints of chocolate and light fruity esters as it warms. Flavor has more toast and nuts, with a sharp roast or chocolate malt character and then as it warms a bit more esters and even some drying astringency.

Serving: Draught sample.
Location: Jungle Jim’s Second Spring Beer Fest
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Maple, coffee, nut truffle.
Appearance: Clear chesnut with a frothy off-white crown.
Flavor: Coffee and mocha moving toward a nice nutty (hazelnut?) quality. Moderately sweet overall.
Palate: Medium-light to medium. A bit thin, but not watery or overly carbonated/ I would have just liked a little bit more body behind it. Smooth overall.
Overall: A very unique and well-crafted nut brown ale. Very good and highly recommended. Probably the best offering; might even be better than the Mr. Carmel Stout... Available in growlers at local stores VERY soon!
