Tröegs Rugged Trail Nut Brown Ale

Draught at DBA in NYC. Dark amber color, offwhite head. Roasted malty nut aroma, smoke, tar and licorice notes. Malty flavor, chocolate, roasted, some tar. A bit thin. Malty choclate finish.

Draft. A pretty decent brown, reminiscent of a new castle. Poured brown, hoppyiness & nuttiness.

Tap at d.b.a. Very deep brown beer with a thick tan head. Aroma is quite nutty and chocolately. Light UK malts underneath. Very low hop rate with only a hint of bitterness to balance the sweetness of this brew. Palate is a bit thin though. Light chocolate flavour with a hint of toast. It’s okay, but the watery palate doesn’t really do much for me.

Pours a medium brown with an off white head. Very nice aroma of coffee and nuts, yeilding an initial tongue coating of the same. A respectable amount of woodsy earth tones towards the end. Very smooth. Not my favorite, but I will definitly purchase again.

Troeg’s Rugged Trail Nut Brown Ale is okay but a little weak compared to other nut brown ales.

bottle. aroma was very hoppy with a hint of smoke. very dark brown color with a small light brown head that didn’t last. fair lacing. tastes like nuts a bit of smoke and a hint of fruit. left with a bit of a smoke flavor in my mouth but not too strong. kind of thin feel for a brown ale but not bad at all.

Leaning towards porter in color, but still fairly light on the palate. Aroma is like one of those Starbucks Double-Shot iced drinks. Pleasant, slightly chocolaty flavor. Good stuff.

Bottle: Pours a very deep brown with ruby highlights and a creamy tan head. The aroma has some lactic/milky hints, mild chocolate and almond/nutty notes. Creamy palate, mildly carbonated. Flavor is mild with a hint of mocha roast and a sweet nuttiness. Also a light sourdough touch in the middle when it warms. Mild coffee-ish roasted finish. Mild and light, but what’s there is decent.
