This bottle comes from the new 2011 Seasonal Batch. Bottle declares birth date as December 11th, 2011. The shape of the glass bottle is very attractive, small, but contains all 12 oz. It has a nice dark brown, with a foggy gray head. Tastes a bit spicy, but in the end is as good as any Nut Brown you will find.

12 oz sttubby bottle; this bottle reads 5.8% ABV. Bought at Super 1 in Rathdrum, ID. Pours clear copper with a thin beige dissipating head. Aroma is yeasty dough, caramel, faintly nutty; could be more assertive. Taste is roasty, nutty, sweet, a little tart mid-sip, finishes with a faint dry bitterness. Carbonation is medium-high, body is pretty thin. Nice brown ale, but there’s a lot better out there.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 seymour (608) - Saint Louis, Missouri, USA - OCT 19, 2011
Tasted bottle from mix-pack into nucleated pint glass. Poured a clear brown color with average off-white foam, fades quickly with no lace. Typical brown ale aromas and flavors: slightly malty and nutty, little hops bitterness, no apparent finishing hops, very slight fruity ale yeast phenols. True-to-style. Drinkable and refreshing, but unmemorable.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 jtclockwork (3434) - , New Jersey, USA - MAY 5, 2010
Darkish brown pour. Taste is roasted malt and muted nuts. Definitely, missing that something extra, but very drinkable. Rated 3/16/03
