Tap. Pours a drab brown but has some lighter tan/red tinges. Quite clear. Small off-white head that lasts. Huge amounts of lacing. Starts with a good light caramel malt which develops into a medium-light body with some nice drier hops flavor. The finish has a nutty/roasty flavor that is quite dry as well and mildly bitter. Alcohol is barely perceptible, though there is a touch of something possibly metallic. Overall a great balance, just not quite as much complexity as I'm looking for compared to some of the best browns I've had. The malt is very subtle and gets pushed around by the hops and dry, nutty, raisin-walnut flavor. As I finish, I swear there is a hint of citrus hops towards the finish. Maybe not quite citrus, but a tart fruitiness, that seems a bit out of place with a nut brown ale. Aroma is of dry roasted malt and maybe some maple/walnut type aroma; like a waffle with syrup on it. Carbonation was not a problem.

Part of and Arcadia sampler: This was a pretty good nut brown, poured a dark brownish-amber with virtually no head or lacing. Strong nut aroma. Flavor was not very rich but was nutty with some malt. Lightly bitter and nutty finish. A better-than-average brew.
