Overall this a great Nut brown ale. Smooth and inviting with a high drinkability quotient. I;ll once again search this one out when I go back to WI.

Was pleasently surpirsed by the flavor of this nut brown. Creamy mouth feel, sweet taste, hints of chocolate. Flavor got better as the beer was consumed.

It is prretty thin on aroma but I think it makes up for it over all. Nice deep hue, a good head that gets caught in my mustache pretty well.

At first I wasn’t a fan but then this nut brown ale grew on me. Very nutty flavor but not overpowering and I enjoy it greatly. I’ve had both bottle and on tap and I don’t know if it’s the atmosphere but I prefer it on Tap. (not to mention it’s only $1 a frosty mug at my local watering hole)

Pours a medium chestnut color with a quickly fading 1/4 inch head. Smell is of peanuts and malt with a citrisy undertone. An understated nutty flavor with a hint of brown-sugar that finishes with orange peel. A nice, easy-drinking beer that calls out for another.

Pours a rich amber with a diminishing head. A very smooth brown ale, one of my favorite browns. Rich caramel, with touches of biscuit, and some very faint hop notes on the finish. I love the mouthfeel, not too heavy, but rich and full.

Aroma is nothing to shout about. Great body and creamy head. One of the better nut brown ales I have had. New Glarus, I believe, is one of the better independent breweries in the US. I have yet to have a beer I disliked from there.

moderate,, good color, nice aroma, bitter if beer is served too cold. Best taste in the 50 to 60 degree range. A beer I enjoy to drink.
