Tröegs Rugged Trail Nut Brown Ale

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel, and so is the flavor, but added light notes of nuts, leading to a dry end. Tasty for the style.

DId not like this at all. Brown with small head. Too much malt and coffee for this one.

12 oz. bottle at Zeno’s, Penn State. Poured chestnut brown with a skim of head. Pretty nutty, malty taste. Roasty with chocolate and coffee tones.

Bottle. Dark Brown color with quickly fading head. Sweet, carmel-ly nose with strong malty flavors and notes of chocolate and carmel with a nutty finish. Not bad.

Initial roasted malt, sweet, and slightly hoppy flavors. Well carbonated, but not a watery beer. The lack of complexity in the beer caused it to get boring quickly.

Pours with a generous head that dissipates quickly. A nice dark brown, with a slightly too light mouthfeel and plenty of carbonation. Unlike other brown ales I’ve had, there is a serious toasted barley flavor throughout - hinting on coffee, but I didn’t notice any chocolate. My favorite brown ale so far.

A nice and hoppy brown ale. I associate this type of beer with being very malty, but this stands out. Pour was a light brown with a white puffy head. Aroma of nuts and hops. Taste was (of all things) coffee and hops! A natural pairing! Nice wet finish with a toasted aftertaste.

Clear very dark ruby body with a small quickly diminishing light tan head. Nutty aroma with some coffee and smoked malt hints. Nutty and lightly smoked flavor with a gentle coffee bitter ending.
