Jun 23, 2006 Bottle.
Decent aroma. Pours a decent head with little character to it.
The flavor is where the charcater is at. Sweet and mild. A decent brown ale. Very calm.

Jun 11, 2006 Updated: Dec 29, 2006A nice nutty/chocolatey brew. Not the best that Troegs has to offer, a good brew for the winter months though.

Jun 2, 2006 Updated: May 25, 2007Re-rate, May 07: The sweetness didn’t bother me as much this time as the slightly astringent, earthy, dusty elements. Original rating: I enjoyed this one, although I wasn’t expecting too much. The aroma and flavor were both nutty, malty, and somewhat chocolate-like. I agree with the review that this one started out sweet (too sweet) with a chocolate/nut-like flavor and finished pleasantly dry with some coffee notes. If you like nut browns, this is worth a shot.

Jun 1, 2006 bottle. dark brown/amber with a small off white head. Medium carbonation. Aroma: sweet malts, some chocolate, and some honey sweetness. Taste is malty caramel, nutty, a bit thin bodied with a smooth finish. haven’t drank many nut brown ales so don’t have a good means of comparison yet.

May 28, 2006 Bottle. Beer was clear, medium-to-dark brown with a small, creamy, white, mostly diminishing head. The aroma was malty with light notes of cookie, heavy notes of husky toasted grain, caramel, and a trace of coffee; Hoppy with moderate notes of herb; Yeasty with moderate notes of dough; Trace miscellaneous note of honey. The flavor was lightly sweet, moderately acidic, moderately bitter with an average-to-long finish with a light-to-moderately tangy and sweet finish. The body was light, the texture was watery and the carbonation was lively. Trace astringency on the finish. The best of the Tröegs brews shared with us by hawkshadow—thanks!
