Bottle: Looks like a cola with a white head that dissipates quickly. The aroma is surprisingly similar to a dr pepper or pepsi yet the flavors are not too sweet or anything like that. A smooth drinking beer with a woody finish.

12 oz bottle. Pours clear medium brown with a smallish beige head. Malty, caramel aroma with some biscuit. Malty flavor with light sweetness, also some light hop bitterness. Medium to light body with average carbonation and a bit of sweetness in the after taste. Overall fairly drinkable and good but a bit boring.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 TLNash886 (228) - Idaho, USA - FEB 15, 2010
12 oz bottle pours murky brown with no retaining head. Aroma of roasted hazelnuts, nutmeg, cinnamon. Very similar taste: spiced hazelnut coffee creamer. That pretty much sums it up. The taste profile fits and it is indeed creamy; a bit thin. Light to medium body with a creamy mouthfeel and a low to medium level of carbonation. Gains palate points back for the great mouthfeel. Highly drinkable.

12 oz bottle into giant dimpled mug. Faint tart aroma. Caramel and nutty smells come out as the beer warms. Pours brown with little head, decent lacework. Definitely nutty flavor (I’m reminded of hazelnut coffee creamer). Medium carbonation, medium body. I love nut brown ales. This one is pretty average. Definitely not bad, though.
