(En fût au Sunset Beer Co.): Une performance remarquée du Brown Malt avec son décadent aspect rôti. Le corps est bien moelleux pour ajouter au confort. Mocha, noisettes et miettes de pain s’entassent avec grand plaisir dans cette succulente Brown Ale.
Bottle from Ales by Mail, drunk at home. Mid-brown, translucent with a a small tan head, most of which duly disappears. Lots of hazelnut, coffee and chocolate in the aroma. A bit of odd plastic scent as well. Tastes... hmmm. simultaneously sweet and sour with the sourness winning out. Not 100% sure it’s supposed to taste like this. Carbonation lifts the thin to medium body. Not much aftertaste but there’s a harsh lingering acidity. Odd and unbalanced.
Bottle at home. Hazy brown with small fizzy short lasting beige head. Looks a bit like unclear cola. There’s some light cola in the aroma as well, but more chocolate, blackberries, sour red berries, light dust and mineral. Light sweet and sour. Almost medium bodied with a bit dry and puckering feel. Probably infected, still not bad but also not very good.
Versa nel bicchiere di un bel marrone scuro; schiuma alta due dita, beige, aderente con una velatura permanente. L’aroma non risulta molto gratificante: le note di malto torrefatto, zucchero di canna, cioccolato, e le nocciole che dovrebbero caratterizzare la Double Nut; non riescono a imporsi come dovrebbero. Le cose vanno ancora peggio in bocca, dove c’è una forte carbonazione, corpo acquoso e tutte le caratteristiche sopra descritte, che dovrebbero far parte anche delle sensazioni palatali; sono completamente assenti. Voglio propendere per una bottiglia decisamente sfortunata.

Wow! Great brown ale. Wonderful, creamy, chocolatey and slight coffee flavor on the tongue. Beautiful in the glass and a nice head.

Sample at the Tehachapi Beer & Wine Festival on 07/18/2015: Deep brown color with a medium beige head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Patchy lacing. Aroma of roasted nuts, malt and coffee. Light to medium body with flavors of roast nuts, earthy malt and mild coffee. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Decent overall.
Lee Vininvg, Ca - Tioga Mobil Station- 12 oz bottle. Pitch black pour sticky khaki colored head that leaves a nice film of lacing. Aroma has some peanut-like accents, some earthy potting soil. Flavor is pleasant with some light chocolate notes, some peanut butter accents, a touch of potting soul, underlying coffee. Mouthfeel is nice and thick. Pretty solid.
On tap at Stateline with Patty and Kara. Pours a deep amber body with thick off white head. Aroma is cocoa, rich sweet malts and some grain and fruit. Mouthfeel is medium and creamy with notes of light roast, toasted malts, light fruit and nuts. I had also bought this bottle and enjoyed that way too.
Tap, brown pour, tan head, nose and taste are both nutty, coffee, vanilla, good
Nice sweet malt flavor and aroma with toasty nutty notes. No hops to note. Mineraly finish that took away from the overall enjoyment.
Bought this on a whim and was very pleasantly surprised. Good flavors of mocha, coffee and roasted chestnuts. Nice beer for after work on a Spring day
A new brewery for me, courtesy of a trade with paiste2002. This 22 oz. bottle pours a mostly clear transparent brown with a thin-moderate tan head that lasted through the first two sips and left partial lace. Very pleasant aroma of nuts along with some chocolate. Just a hint of coffee present as well. The flavor is predominantly nuts with malt. There isn’t that nice chocolate presence that I find in the aroma. Mild bitterness at the finish. A little bit on the lighter side of medium bodied.
