A final thanks to pjk33 for this last brew I’m about to taste. This was a good one. The brew poured a brown with amber leanings, and possessed a minimal off white-brown head. The aroma was lightly nutty with toasted malt…somewhat sweet. I felt like one of my brother’s hippie friends drinking this. Thought I should be out on a camping expedition. Thought it was great stylistically with a toasted malt flavor and nuttiness. The body was well represented with creaminess and solid medium core. A good brown.

May 15, 2008 I’m a bit surprised to be honest. This is the first time Troegs has seem to come up a bit short. This seems to be safe, which for Troegs is a little out of character. The aroma was very nice, with some nut, some malt, and some sweetness, perhaps prunes or cola. The appearance is a dark brown, with a thin white head. The flavor is chocolate, mildly roast malts, and some sweetness. The brew is rather smooth. Although I think it’s a bit safe, I also think it is a perfect session ale.

Pours a dark brown almost black color with a short lived tan head. Sweet, nutty malt taste, with roasty, nutty charred like malt, but lightly so. Medium to full bodied with some coffee flavors complementing the mild bitterness in the finish. Average to light carbonation, and nicely flavorful on the whole. Good brown ale.

May 7, 2008 Rugged is accurate, this has much more flavor than your typical brown ale. Strong tastes of chocolate, molasses and a roasted flavor combine nicely. Very good overall.

May 6, 2008 This is everything you would want out of a nut brown, but not much more. Nice dark dark color, big fluff of a head, smells like nuts, tastes like.. um, nuts. Not very brave or exciting, but tastes great, and definitely gets the job done. Nuts.

May 4, 2008 Deep rich mahogany body with ruby red highlights, great clarity, and a thin light-tan head. Nose of roasted malt, toffee, chocolate, and sweet corn. Toasty, bready, nutty, woody, earthy, malty flavor. Medium , creamy body with a smooth, well balanced finish. Probably my favorite brown ale.
