durhambeer (1186), Durham, USA Apr 9, 2009 Pours clear, toffee-colored with thin gauzy white head. Nutty malts and toffee. On the nose. Oddly sour/lactic. Tastes better, more creamy and nutty. Mild hops. Decent but great. kuphish (150), Bloomington, Indiana, USA Apr 7, 2009 Bottle. Poured a gigantic, frothy, off-white head that slowly collapsed in on itself and left craggy residue. Impressive deep red, nearly brown, crystal clear body with dancing carbonation. Average malt aroma of caramel, toffee, nuttiness and some molasses. Light, herbal, earthy hop aroma. Aforementioned aromas persisted in the flavor profile, accompanied by some date and woodiness. Light, slightly sticky palate with a mildly bitter finish. Overall a nice brown ale, but I’m not wowed. bluemooner (229), Blaine, Minnesota, USA Apr 6, 2009 Pours a dark copper color with a thin tan head. Quite tasty with hints of toffee, brown sugar, light chocolate, some hops, caramel, and light coffee. Pretty good Nut Brown Ale. MBison (548), Southern Highlands, Australia Apr 6, 2009 Bottle (550ml).Poured dark burnt copper with a good sized, lightly tanned, dense foamy head which very lasted well. A complex & rich aroma with strong notes of sticky toffee malts, burnt sugar, muscatels, hazel nuts and light notes of chocolate. Flavor was of smooth caramel malts with a very mild earthy hop bitterness, toffee, toasted nuts, chocolate, sultana’s and light notes of blackberries. Light to medium bodied with mild carbonation, a dry mouthfeel, chewy texture and a good length finish. Very pleasant Brown Ale, perfectly balanced - not overly sweet like most. scooterbub (332), Lander, Wyoming, USA Mar 31, 2009 12 ounce bottle. Pours a red-brown color with a small tan head. Taste is of roasted malt, smoke, caramel, nut and grass. Has a nice bitterness, sweetness and dryness to it. Similar aroma. Well balanced. Very drinkable, fulfilling and very enjoyable. Well worth having again. aguyintx66 (78), Humble, Texas, USA Mar 30, 2009 Bottle. Poured a dark amber color with a thick tan head. Aroma of malt, caramel, and nuts. Tastes of malt and camel, with a faint nutty finish. shawnm213 (884), South Bend, Indiana, USA Mar 30, 2009 malty, nutty, seems nice enough. not as good as best brown or indian brown ale joe19612 (673), camberley, Surrey, England Mar 29, 2009 Bottle.
