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.

dark brown body with no head. Smells like a pretty typical nut brown as aroma. The flavor is very nutty with a definite flavor of raisins.

From bottle. Poured dark brown (darker than I expected) with decent, medium-lasting head. Aroma was nutty, but very faint. Disappointing. The flavor was about what I expected... earthy and nutty. A bit watery without much body to it. Pretty good beer that I’ll get again, but I was hopping for better.

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’m a bit surprised to be honest. This is the first time Troegs has seem to come up a bit short. This seems to be safe, which for Troegs is a little out of character. The aroma was very nice, with some nut, some malt, and some sweetness, perhaps prunes or cola. The appearance is a dark brown, with a thin white head. The flavor is chocolate, mildly roast malts, and some sweetness. The brew is rather smooth. Although I think it’s a bit safe, I also think it is a perfect session ale.

Reddish brown pour with a minimal and rapidly disappearing head. Malty smell with maybe a hint of some nutty flavor. Too metallic in the mouth for me, and a definite disappointment as my first beer from a brewery I have heard so many good things about.

12 oz bottle pours very dark ruby with little tan head. Very earthy aroma with grass, molasses and some coffee. Not too sweet, touch of some umami and a decent butter coffee finish. Decent beer but nothing too complex. Decent carb on tongue and very drinkable.

Pours a nice reddish brown. Aromas of toasty malts, brown sugar, and nuts. Flavor is lightly sweet malts and a nice touch of hops, and a nutty finish...it is what it is...
