Commercial Description:
Brewers Notes: This Brown Ale is brewed with American malt and hops, and traditional ale yeast. Look for a sweet, chocolaty taste, with balanced bitterness resulting in a full flavored but smoothly drinkable beer.

Dark brown with a malty caramel aroma. Sweet malty flavor with a hint of hops on the aftertaste.

12 oz. bottle. Hazy ruby tinged brown color. Pleasant nutty roasted malt aroma. Taste of roasted malt with caramel and bitter hop notes. Medium bodied.

Pours medium bodied brown with a light tan head that clears quickly. Aromas of light chocolate, light hops, hint of caramel that comes together as sweet. Tastes of a hint of caramel, touch of chocolate, and a slight burnt/roastiness. Feels a little watery and has a bitter all around taste. Not bad...

12 ozer poured into a shaker. Poured a clear dark brown color, with two fingers of tan head. Lacing was moderate. Aroma was malty with some caramel. Flavor had the same caramel flavor, and a slight nut flavor. Medium bodied with too much carbonation. This beer could have almost been a good one on many fronts. Not a drain pour, but not one I would drink again.

Avery smooth beer, with a rich bark brown body and spongy tan head, the chocolate flavor is well-balanced but the experience is a little less robust than I would like.

12oz bottle. Chestnut-amber color. Malty and sweet. Medium bodied, not really so well balanced. Could use a little more hops or a little less Crystal Malt. I remember holding the Nut Brown in higher regard. Sugary finish, but all around a pretty decent session beer.
