Nodding Head Grog

On handpump at the Nodding Head. Redish-brown with minimal head. Nose is roasted malt, caramel, nuts. Palate first seems silky but then noticably thin. Very beguiling beer as it tasted really good at first but by the third or fourth sip seemed not so good. Nutty and a bit too sweet. A very average and unadventurous beer.

Very nice brown ale. Pours a nice dark brown and tastes very nice and malty. The nose is a little bit weaker, but nice. This was the best of the sampler that I had.

A brown ale that is true to style. It had a quickly disappearing head. Good malt flavor, slightly sweet, short aftertaste

Draft. I love a good, rich brown ale that does not taste like a porter, and this is one of the best that I have had. I could have a keg of something like this in my house and enjoy it to the last drop.

On tap. Poured a dark brown with a tan head. Malty and nutty aroma and tastes. Average brown ale.

On draft at Grace Tavern. Clear, dark brew, no head, no lacing - looks kind of like a flat cola. Mild and unimpressive - another example of why I should stay away from brown ales.

Menthol, mint, Ricola cough drops, malty. Dark brown-red with tan lacing head. Medium bodied with light medium carbonation. Starts with heavy malts, light smokiness, chocolate. Good hops acidity and bitterness. Light sweetness with herbal nutty finish and after. Dry after.

A brown ale? This was pure crap. No real caramel taste, no real roasted taste, no real taste period. Very dissapointing.
