Poured a light amber brown with a tan head. The aroma was sweet, lightly grassy, subdued, lightly citrusy. The flavor was waxy, sweet, citrusy, nice hop profile, caramel.

Stung the back of my tongue at first, but mellows down and is actually pretty badass for a brown. Probably Honkeybra’s favorite brown ale what with all the nuts in it.

Great dark brown color, inviting color with a small head. Tastes of carmel, nuts, and a hint of malts and hops. More complex than I expected from my initial aroma test. Aftertaste is kind of malty and sweet. Good beer, great brown ale.

Semi clear brown red amber with very little lasting head. Smell is light sweet dough. Flavor is doughy and has this generic sweetness to it and has a strange sweet aftertaste that almost reminds me of Splenda or some other similar product. Medium carbonation.

Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Pours a clear amber with beige head. Aroma of caramel. Flavor of caramel, some hop, faint bitter. Light to medium body with med-high carbonation. Really tasty beer.

On tap, nice nutty and sweet brown. Mildly but nicely hopped per the style, and easy drinking brown that went well with my Philly cheesesteak.
