Bottle from Chappy’s in Dayton. A pretty decent brown ale. Lightly roasted, nutty aroma. It has a moderately sweet flavor with some lightly roasted malts. Non-aggressive, smooth, brown ale that can be enjoyed by anyone.

Bottle. Has a thick feel, tastes like roasted nuts and chocolate, there’s a nutty aftertaste.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a frothy tan head. Aroma is of walnuts, roasted malts, and a hint of chocolate. Body is thick and heavy, with a smooth finish. Very good brown ale.

500. Capped and foiled, classic Sam Smith square-shouldered bottle. I feel like I should tie my shoes or fix my posture or something to do justice to the nice packaging. Pours a hazy very dark brown with decent ruby highlights showing. Dense, creamy slab of mousse across the top with big splashes of lace. Caramel and brown sugar nose, fairly subdued. Watery light body. Not much flavor other than a soft little coda of the caramel and brown sugar. Fairly vacant finish. Yawn.

My first nut brown. Beer is non-descript reddish brown, head was brief. Aroma has smooth caramel and slight resin. The beer is of medium body but it swishes around the mouth easily, probably because a low carbonation level? Flavor is a little winey or sherry-like. Finish actually has some nuts! (It also lasts a few seconds.) Yay beer!

Brown with a medium foam head. The aroma is caramel and nuts. The flavor is slightly toasted malts and caramel. Finish is sweet with a lingering bitterness.

550ml bottle. Pours a clear deep brown with a two finger tan head. A light nutty sweet aroma. Has a mild sweet malt and nutty flavor with slight hop bite in the finish. Medium to full bodied, smooth and creamy.

Sept. 8th,09 bottle. pours a nice brown. with a nice tan head.the aroma is sweet and malty. Taste is sweet malt and nutty with hints of fruit. The finish is dry with hints of hops in the finish.
