Tröegs Rugged Trail Nut Brown Ale

Brewed by Tröegs Brewing Company
Style: Brown Ale
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania USA

bottle, by trade with beachbum25, pours dark brown with slight foam, aroma and flavor is malty fruit with a nutty finish

bottle: pours dark brown with thick, foamy tan head that dissipates. not very aromatic, But has a rich, creamy taste full of caramel, nuts and toffee. Hops balance the malts, but aren’t too bold. Finishes smoky and complex. Body is a little thin, but this is a great thirst-quencher.

12 oz bottle pours very dark ruby with little tan head. Very earthy aroma with grass, molasses and some coffee. Not too sweet, touch of some umami and a decent butter coffee finish. Decent beer but nothing too complex. Decent carb on tongue and very drinkable.

Appears a translucent deep brown. Goes down rather smooth. Thin head with a slight chocolate nose.

(Draught) Dark brown and almost clear. Small white head. Strong malty aroma. Medium bodied and still watery palate with lot of carbonation. Malts, roastedness and bitterness in taste. Malty and bitter aftertaste. This beer is easy to drink and taste is ok but bit boring.

Very nice malt profile, full of chocolate, with just a hint of bitter roast coming through. Hops made no distinct impression, but balanced the sweetness of the malt. Smooth finish was satisfying. I’d drink it again.

I recently tried a bottle of Troegs Nut Brown. The aroma was subtle malty and slightly fruity. Poured a thin head which dissapated quickly and overall was a lightly carbonated as I would expect from a brown ale. The flavor was good but subdued, the malt was there and some plum flavors, with very little hop flavor or bitterness. Overall a fine beer, a little thin in flavor and mouthfeel, but I would drink one again.

A little thin for my liking but overall a good brown ale. Great session beer.
