I have been drinking this since about 1995 & it was among the earliest beers I had. In its a deep red brown, with a big, thick, long-lasting tan head that leaves some lacing. This is a good, nutty ale with richer flavour and sharponess than the old stand-by, Newcastle, but a little less approachable or easy to drink. The body and flavour are fairly rich, complex, with a faint wine quality on top of the nut, malt, and caramel, along with a faint sweet-sour element and definite but mild walnut bitterness.

355 ml bottle. Deep reddish color. Big beige head. Roasted malt, caramell, nuts, bitter atfertaste and some fruity sourness. Good, but not great.

dark brown amber, decent brown head, which quickly dissapated. citrus and nutty in aroma. tasted of peanut, coffee bean, and a slight detection of honey. fits the name of the beer perfectly.

Bottle. Pours a light brown with a good strong head. The taste is hazelnut and a smooth malt. The aftertaste is mostly bitter hops with a coffe/nutty taste. Good.

From bottle : Pours clear medium to dark amber color, with offwhite fizzy head. Smells of Malts, nuts and hints of butterscotch. It isnt thin and isnt thick in your mouth, its a nice median, and feels lively on the palate. A nutty and toffee taste with malts. Good Brown Ale.

Aroma is a mix of nuts and malts. Color is a brownish red with no head. Roasty and sweet with definite hints of nut. Dry with very spritzy carbonation. Better than Newcastle.

Nutty aroma while pouring from 12-ounce bottle. Clear burnt umber with off-white foam. Smooth body with fine fizz. Taste is also nutty, probably roasted hazelnut. A bit on the dry side. Definitely a clean finish. Could drink a bunch, but for the price.
