Pours like a classic brown ale with a foamy crest. Aroma is first rate - malty, rich, and sweet. The label has the footprint of a hiking shoe on it, but is nothing special otherwise. The taste is packed with malty sweetness, coffee, cola, and a hint of citrus too. Medium body and fairly light carbonation. A little sweet and under-hopped for my sensors, but a solid brew overall.

Dark brown with minimal white head. Aroma is burnt caramel. Taste is the same, but crisp, watery, and somewhat worty. Not bad, but not good.

Pours a dark brown colour with a wispy tan head that fades quickly. The aroma is full of sweet malts lending to impressions of raisins, toffee, nuts, chocolate and other dried fruits. The flavour sweet and roasty, imparting flavours of brown sugar, nuts, caramel, mild cocoa and raisins. The palate is a bit thin, but creamy in texture and nicely carbonated. The roastiness comes out more in the aftertaste, though the palate duration is short. Overall, this is a very clean and drinkable brown ale with very litter bitterness.

Gift from Singlemalter: Pours a reddish-brown body with a decent sized head. Has plenty of nutty aromas and nutty taste- roasted nuts particularly. Not a whole lot of carbonation. A really nice nut brown, might be one of my new favorites in that category.

My bottle (12oz) shared with HogTownHarry -- courtesy of Thaichile. Pours ruby-brown with a small diminishing frothy tan head. Aroma’s nutty and toasty along with chocolate, caramel and light hops. Flavour of caramel malt, nuts, notes of chocolate and some light hops in the finish. Perhaps a tad watery. Medium bodied. Pretty good -- nothing outstanding here, just a good Nut Brown.

Black brown pour with a thin tan head. Thin subtle nose of slightly sweet malt. Flavor is light and sweet with a small hint of roasted malt in there. Mouthfeel isn’t great but it works here with a medium carbonation and is light in weight.
