Bottle from buckybeer; Thanks! Nose is sweet and nutty, brown with a shortlived tan head; flavor of caramelly malt with nuttiness and light coffee notes.

100th Rater - Bottle provided by Jimbowood, thanks. Pours brown with some lacing. Aroma is weak, some molasses-sweetness an maltiness. Flavor is not strong either. Mouthfeel is fizzy. A watery beer in general. Nothing off-putting but nothing distinguishable either.

2006 bottle from StewardofGondor consumed on 5/21/06. Initially large off-white head recedes fairly quickly to cover, with some moderate lacing. Brown, chestnut-beige body is lightly bubbly and quite clear, with no sediment on the bottom. Damp soil, nutty, leafy hops and light root-beer-like notes. A touch of cola adds zest, while medium-dry toffee pinches at the nose, not overly strong and lasting. Some light honeysuckle rubbed with chocolate finishes off the nose. Dry brown malts and soft, nutty hops cover the palate, with loose carbonation exposing a good deal of wateriness. But it’s clean, with some minor fruitiness and soft buttercream and mild bitterness mixing/balancing on the finish. Dry chocolate is there as well, though very passing. With warming and breathing the hops do become a touch more piquant, but the buttercream and soily malts keep things rather basic, if I may be so bold.

Golden-brown colour. Brown sugar and light hazelnut aroma. Sweetish character with the same brown sugar and nuts. Thin body. Quick, slightly metallic finish. Newcastleish.

Aroma of malt and nuts. Small head. Very simple and mild. Malt flavor. Light palate. An easy session beer.

Bottled. Hey, this is probably the best of the beers I've sampled from this brewery, which otherwise hews too closely to style. A nice malty smell greets me when I pop the bottle, then it pours a nice thick head over a dark brown body. I get a taste of roasted coffee, maybe even chicory atop a bed of caramel. A sharp hop sting gives it a little fruity note like… all I can come up with is blackberries. Carbonation enhances the delivery of flavor. This is close to being a nut brown ale.

Along the same lines as Newcastle's version. Dark brown with a thin off-white head. A little thin with hints of brown sugar and caramal in the flavor. Mild nutty aroma. Not the best Capital has to offer but it is definitely potable.
