Commercial Description:
Tommyknockers were mischievous elves who slipped into mining camps with the Cornish miners in the 1800s. Commemorating the 10th anniversary of Tommyknocker Brewery, this special brew is meticulously crafted with pure maple syrup, the highest quality chocolate and crystal malts and is accented with the finest blend of European and American hops. Imperial Nut Brown Ale is a bigger, bolder version of our wildly popular Maple Nut Brown.

Imperial? This is the single most disappointing beer with the name "imperial" in the title I’ve yet tried. Not very flavorful, very malty, nothing else. Appearance was a murky, muddy brown, much like the other Tommyknocker beers I’ve tried. Aroma was virtually non-existent. Flavor was a bit caramel-y, but offered little else, including the alcohol ester. It was served in a tiny little stemmed glass, but didn’t seem special the way most other beers served in little stemmed glasses seemed to be. Disappointing. I would not recommend this beer.

Nuts and bitterness seem a bit subdued but it has a nice caramel malt sweet flavor and the alcohol warms me up. The palate is a bit light for something that seems advertised as jam packed with maple goodness. Notable for alcohol content. Thanks Gary and Laura for sharing!

12oz. Pours a deep, deep dark red that tends to brown towards the middle of the glass. A thin off-white head perks up on the pour but is quickly gone. At room temperature this finally has any semblance of an aroma, that being mostly some milk chocolate toffee. Body also needs to be drank at room temperature, shows loads of vanilla, maple syrup, toffee, and chocolate. Palate almost makes me want to gag, it is thin, EXTREMELY sweet and flat. It is like having maple syrup drenched pancakes... without the pancakes. This really could benefit from some roasted malt enhanced body. I tend to stay away from beers with vanilla added and now I’ll have to add maple syrup to that list. Gross.

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Mahogany colour, small beige head. Caramelly nose. Sweet with medium to full body. Dominated by malt syrup and molasses. Fruity and caramelly with some roasty coffeeish notes and warming alcohol. Fairly low bitterness. Warming but a bit sticky.
