Tröegs Rugged Trail Nut Brown Ale

One of my favorite session beers. Aroma is sweet vanilla ant nuts. Pours dark brown with thin off white head. Taste is nutty and vanilla, very smooth on the palate, with a solid malt finish. A very good brown!

Okay beer. A dark amber. Not a whole lot of flavor for my taste. Nice sweet aroma though.

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.

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.

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.

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.

12oz bottle. Poured a clear dark brown color with orange highlights. Tan head. Aroma was of toffee, brown sugar, nuts, and a hint of cola. Relatively light body and delicately sweet with a nutty note. I also tasted some nice subdued flowery hop. Pretty tasty.
