Bottle. Pours a clear dark brown with no head. Sweet, roast and toast, nutty and old prunes with a vegetal tinge. Rather flat, nutty, malt. Some light roast character, and a slow somewhat sweet finish.

from a bottle at cibo in phoenix area. not nearly as good as the monkeyshine, but still respectable for a brown ale.

12 oz bottle
Thanks to someone for giving me a bottle of this. I don’t know the source but it was a decent enough brown ale. So far Nimbus has not impressed me much but has two more chances remaining in the cellar to open in the near future.
Aroma / Appearance - A huge foamy head decorated the glass but eventually settled into a dark reddish base. The scent of unshelled peanuts and cooling coffee filled the air. it was not rich but for an easy to drink session beer did a respectable job.
Flavor / Palate - Ashy coffee, walnut shells, and cold smoky malts take this one along the standard lines of a brown ale that is maybe a bit past its prime. Decent but not amazing or even inviting it is maybe a trace below average. Ultimately I don’t see myself seeking out more Nimbus beers unless they come out with a solid imperial stout or baltic porter.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Clear ruby red color/ light tan head. Nutty roasty malt aromas. medium body. Roasty, nutty, mild chocolate flavors, with an overwhelming sour bug.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
pours deep chestnut brown with an off-white head. delightful heavy brown sugar maltiness, roasted malt. ligfht port aroma. flavor is roasted malt. light molasses, port, nutty. pleasant hoppy and malty aftertaste. a little thin for my taste, but pretty good otherwise.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with Sparky27. Pours dark brown with a moderate-large light brown head that lingered until mid-glass and left fairly thick lace. Pleasant aroma of chocolate, mild hazelnuts and malt. The flavor is a bit odd with malt, earthy dead leaves and unsweetend iced tea. Unfortunately, the flavor definitely falls off a bit from the aroma. Light metallic twang at the finish along with some mild bitterness kind of seals the deal on this beer.
