Bottle. Pours brown with a beige head. Nutty aroma with nice roasted malt. The flavor is lightly roasted with some nuttiness and very low bitterness, with a short finish.

I had this beer on draft at a restaurant in Gettysburg, PA. The beer had a dark brown color with a tan, creamy head that had good cling and retention. The aroma was a mixture of chocolate and caramel malt notes with nutty scents present too. It had a sweet, slightly nutty taste with only a bit of bitterness. The body was slightly on the thinner side, a bit wet and watery, without a lot of feel. A decent, but not memborable beer.

This was the first beer I had ever had from Troegs and right away I knew they were a solid brewery... Nutty, roasty flavor with hints of sweet caramel.. a lot better then most brown ales

Clear amber-brown body with a fading, sudsy beige head. Sweet warm caramel and toffee aroma. Flavor has notes of caramel, light fruit, and chocolate with a subtle edge of roast in the finish. Medium sweet and pleasant. A nice brown ale and another solid beer from Tröegs

Pours a very dark brown color with a small light beige fizzy head that disappears quickly. The aroma is kind of like a hazelnut latte. A roasty coffee with some definite sweetness. The flavor is pretty much the same. It has some coffee, brown sugar... almost like something from the Nutty Bavarian. The body is kind of light, but overall, it is a good traditional brown ale without feeling it necessary to completely over-hop it.

Bottle, bottled 5/13/08. Aroma of roasted malt with coffee, fresh, fertile earth (very unique stuff), peanut butter. Flavor has a nice sweetness typical of brown ales, but richer and with more prominent hints of bitterness, rather porter-like to me. Unique brew, tasty brew, good brew.

Bottle, bottled 5/13/08. Pours a dark brown with a small light tan head. Aroma of nice sweet malts, molasses, roasted malts, coffee, maple syrup, and sweat? Flavor of sweet roasted malt. Palate is a little weak. Similar to a porter or even a stout actually. I’m normally not a fan of brown ales but this one was pretty good. Troegs is awesome...

A good brown ale, quite a "bit nutty". pleasant in the mouth, goes down easy. Very nice
