caesar (2575), Bunnik/Utrecht, Netherlands Oct 9, 2008 Tap @ brewpub. Brown color, short off-white head. Caramel and roasted malt in aroma. Malty taste, slight brown sugar. kyzr (962), Belgrade, Montana, USA Sep 17, 2008 Brown pour with a small tan head. Sweet and toasty nose. Flavor is a little more complex than I expected. Has hints of chocolate, nuts and caramel. Medium body with great mouthfeel and texture. acrdz (4386), Boulder, Colorado, USA Aug 16, 2008 Draft @ the brewery. Lightly hazed brown body with a tan, patchy, thick head. Nose of rich toast, chocolate malt, cocoa powder... very bready and doughy, dusty even. Flavor is rich and pasty cocoa (dry), chocolate malt, toasted bread, nutmeg, light touch of almonds/amaretto, even some vanilla. Complex, well-made, satisfying and impressive for a brown ale. Smooth, silky body. beerheart (224), Erie, Colorado, USA Jul 6, 2008 "One Nut Brown Ale" at the restaurant. I’m not a big fan of brown ales. They need to grow up and decide to be porters or stouts. That said, this is a well-brewed example of the style. It was creamy, with toffee, brown sugar and a bit of hop to it. Crosling (1660), Loveland, Colorado, USA Jun 30, 2008 Draught @ Oskar Blues. Lots of character for a brown. Ruby brown color. Long lasting foam. Creamy texture and very mouth filling. Roast and toast character with hints of toffee, fruits and brown sugar, which leads into a dry, hoppy finish. Fairly nice nose as well. It’s a high quality, well made brown.
