3.4 Refrigerated 12 oz bottle dated notched with a BB date of Nov. 2015. Clear medium brown body; some sediment from the bottom of the bottle added mid-tasting. Mild but pleasant aroma with borwn bread and toffee dominating. The flavor is even milder, with a near equal bitter/sweet balance.

3.3 Tap. Pours clear chestnut, small tan head, creamy with nice lacing. Aroma is light roasty, brown bread, hint of ashtray. Flavor is medium sweet, light bitter, roasty, hint of smoke. Medium body

3.1 Fat @ Brewpub. Klar brunröd öl med ett medelstort smutsvitt skum. Dofter och smaker av choklad, trä, malt och frukt. Lätt beska, söt avslutning.

3.5 Pour from 12oz bottle with a typical darker brown color and thin white head. Smells of fresh roasted nuts with a nice mild flavor and hint of hazelnut

3.2 12 ounce bottle thanks to John. Light color for a nut brown ale. Nutty with some chocolate notes. Ok. Body too light.

3.0 Bottle. Nutty chocolate toffee malt and straw aroma. Chestnut with small light tan head. Lightly sweet nutty toffee malt and mildly bitter herbal grass flavor. Very nice aroma but a bit of a let-down in the flavor department.

2.9 Draft at brewery. The pour is a light brown. The aroma is a sweeter malt. The taste is a standard nut brown, lacking a little on the flavor.

3.4 Pours deep dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is roast, dark chocolate and caramel. Taste is sweet with some dark chocolate bitters. Medium bodied with slick texture.

2.9 Light and watery brew with less aroma and flavor than desired from the style. Not bad by any means, just not much of anything.
