May 27, 2006 deep brown with modest initial white head on top. Suitable carbonated, aroma of nut and molasses and licorice. Smooth and very malty drinkable. Little bitterness from hops. Nice transition beer.

May 14, 2006 in the bottle. Pours a dark brown with an ecru-colored head. Aroma is a bit nutty, but mostly toasted (slightly roasted in fact). Flavor is VERY smooth. People who don’t want their beer to hurt them would like this a lot. Mellow body and a quick one to quaff.

May 9, 2006 Poours a dark reddish brown with almost no head. Nut brown not my favorite, and this is no surprise, for better or worse. Some dry malt, some classic British hops, but neither intensity nor complexity.

May 4, 2006 Not so good. Dark-brown in color but no distinct nutty malt characteristics which are what make a "nut" brown ale. Very light on the palate. This brown ale could be enjoyed on a hot summer day. Lightweight!!

Apr 23, 2006 Rugged Trail feels like I am hiking in the Appalachians. The nutty character and slight smoky nature has some nice sweetness as well.
