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.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear, dark, orangey brown with a creamy, beige head. Lightly burned caramel aroma. Rather thin and watery body, some burned caramel and roasted malt and a hint of fruit. But fairly dry without any real bitterness. Quite drinkable though. 280507

Dark; soft, nutty aroma; thin body, slightly metallic; nuts & malt.

A pleasant beer, but nothing special. Deep red-brown hue capped by minimal foam. The aroma is mild, buttery English hoppiness. The flavor is more to the malty side, nutty and toasty, than hoppy. Mild aftertaste.

Poured a dark reddish-brown with a very small tan head. Aroma of chocolate, nuts and light spices. Tastes of nuts with chocolate undertones. Smells better than it tastes (I expected more after initially smelling the beer).

A handsome, sparkling clear ruby ale with a medium-sized, frothy, khaki head. The aroma is excellent. Buttery milk chocolate and toasted pistachios and almonds. The flavor is malty with chocolate and roasted nuts predominating... much like the nose. Well-balanced, but thin and watery. Light-bodied with a watery mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Crisp, clean finish with some coffee notes to finish things off.

(Bottle) Pours an amber-brown body with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel, roasted malt, and a hint of marshmellow. Sweet malty flavor with some nuts.
