Our Nut Brown Ale combines the finest domestic and imported malts to produce a chestnut-hued ale of unusual complexity. Subtle notes of chocolate, honey and fine tobacco give this ale an enjoyable and satisfying “nutty” finish.

Little aroma, weak dark roasted malt. Clear brown, thin tan head. Weak, mild nuttiness, hint of coffee toward the end. Goose Island has only been available in my area after the AB acquisition. I wonder if this beer was this weak before then.

Clear light brown. Aroma is lightly fruity, a bit of toasted malts, chocolate. Flavor has a decent balance between the chocolate and fruit notes. I usually like Nut Browns to be maltier with less fruit than this one. It seemed a bit odd.

Sample from a bottle at Brewsapalooza. Pours dark with about a finger of dark tan head. Aroma and taste are strongly malt oriented. Lots of caramel and some nice bready and roasty tastes. Overall, I’m a big fan of this beer. I wasn’t expecting much but it surprised me.

(Bottle, 0.355 l - bottled on Apr 12 2012, at Black Door, 20120616) The beer poured dark brown and clear. Its head was medium sized and lightly brown. Aroma had malts, metallicness and molasses. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, molasses, hint of ash and mild bitterness. Aftertaste was a bit roasty and mildly bitter. A quite disappointing brown ale. Lacking maltiness especially in the aroma.

12 oz. bottle, pours a clear dark mahogany with a medium beige head. Aroma of toasted nuts, some subtle butterscotch and caramel bready malts. Flavour of fairly rich caramel / toffee upfront, brown sugar, with a nutty / cashew-like finish. Pretty flavourful and smooth for a ~5% session brown ale - very enjoyable.

Purchased at Binny’s in Chicago, IL; enjoyed after a long trip to Germany where I drank nothing but 3 different types of beers. This was a welcome home brew. Appearance a dark brown amber with a thin off white rim. Aroma of chocolate, caramel, nuts, hops, a lot of ingredients. Taste is incredibly smooth, moderate body and lightish carbonation, nice nutty finish, very light bitterness. It’s already gone, and now I’m sad. Very happy to have this back in production.

12 ounce bottle courtesy of TheGuy and opened 6/22/11. Thanks! Pours dark reddish brown with a medium creamy tan head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of nutty notes and a bit of roast. The taste is caramel, toasted malts, fruity notes, chocolate. Medium bodied. Decent.
