Tröegs Rugged Trail Nut Brown Ale

Brown/Red Tints Coloring with Sandy Head. Light Nutty Aroma. Sweet Dry Light Nut Roasted Malt Taste. Nice Brown and Not Too Nutty.

12 oz bottle. Poured dark chestnut, clear, with a small fizzy head that disappeared immediately. Nutty aroma with hints of chocolate malt in the background. Also some light coffee notes as well. Sweet nutty flavor with very light roastyness and coffee on the finish. Pretty thin and weak with a force carbonated mouthfeel. Pretty weak overall, but then again, how many "Nut Brown Ales" are that amazing?

Great color, with very little head. Nice aroma.Has a chocolate, nutty taste, although its not overbearing. Very little after taste. All in all a very enjoyable beer. I would recommend it.

(12 oz bottle: Obtained in trade with slob, thanks Bert!) A solid, though somewhat standard nut brown, this beer is sweet, malty, chocolaty and nutty, with just a hint of smoky roast in the finish. Bitterness is mild overall, as is the carbonation level, so this medium bodied brew is smooth and easy on the palate. Might be a touch watery though in the finish. Not a whole lot to the nose, just mildly nutty, malty and sweet. A small light tan head initially caps the medium brown liquid, but quickly settles to a ring. Tasty, and at 4.4% ABV, this would be a reasonable session beer for me.

Pours mahogany brown with lacing ringing white head. Smelled like a fart, then turned to sweet with some honey and huts. Taste of malt, sweet honey. Nice, smooth palate.

Dark ruby color with a thin head. Dry malt aroma with some maple syrup floating around. The taste is laden with bittersweet malt. A slightly nutty finish.

This one isn’t rugged enough or nutty enough for me. I was attracted to Troegs by this label but its a bit too watery for me. Its not a bad beer though. I just wish the roasted flavor was more prevalent.

Mildly bitter and smooth and just barely NOT opaque. Stands up to a porter without being overbearing.
