Jul 8, 2008 Bottle. Pours a deep golden brown with a small off-white head that dissipates to a swirl along the top fairly quickly leaving pretty good lacing. Smell is sweet burnt/roasted caramel malts with a slight nut aroma as well. The taste is a much sweeter, more complex version of the nose. There is a huge sweet malt slug up front that flows right into a roasted nut flavor with some maple syrup sweetness in there as well. I also got a hint of fruits, maybe raisins, right before the finish. The mouthfeel is fairly light and extremely crisp despite the sweetness. This is a very good nut brown and the taste is extremely well balanced yet unique. I really like this one and could drink it all night.

Jul 7, 2008 This one poured light brown with a fairly long lasting but thin head. I smelled and tasted the nuttiness right away and enjoyed, with not much in the way of hops as you would expect from a brown. Very enjoyable.

Jun 29, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a dark amber/ light brown color, almost caramel. I was expecting it to be a couple shades darker than it is. Head is a little lacking as well. Caramel and malt sweetness dominate the nose. Smells wonderful! Very smooth flavor with hints of caramel and nuts. It sort of reminds me of caramel pecan pie but not exactly. Very tasty! There is something in the flavor that’s missing though and I can’t put my finger on it.

Jun 18, 2008 Amber in color with a thin whtie head. The aromas are smokey with nuts, malt and a touch of chocolate. Medium-bodied with lots of carbonation to keep it fresh. The flavors are semi-sweet with a slightly dry finish.

Jun 2, 2008 Medium to ruby red appearance with a frothy taupe head and some lacing. Very intriguing smells, mostly of nuts. Like the aroma, the taste is rather nutty and bitter, with a smooth caramel malty aftertaste. Overall pleasing. Much better the second time around now that I know what to look for!

May 28, 2008 Good brown ale by the always impressive New Glarus. Good malty aroma with a nice carbonated mouthfeel, but a bit of a stale finish. Still very drinkable.
