On tap at the Oxford taproom. Pours clear brown with an off-white head. Lightly brown sugar and malts on the nose. Flavour is like porridge bread, some light brown sugar, slightly sweet. Very comfortable brown ale.

Pours a clear brown from a bottle. Nutty brown sugar aroma. Bitter nutty taste. Good beer.

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a clear brown with a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has notes of dark grain and bread with light roast and nuttiness supporting. Flavor has bread and nuttiness throughout with a light roast supporting.

341ml bottle. Pours a clear red-brown with a small, creamy, short lived, tan head that laces. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, nuts and a hint of chocolate. Sweet flavour of nuts, roasted malt, chocolate and light caramel with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and lively carbonation.

Enjoyed at the brewery on my trip there in late 2015. Pours a clean copper-amber colour with a beige, average head with a little lacing. Roasted malt nose with some fruitiness and sweetness. Fruity malt taste with a roasted finish. Refreshing mouthfeel with a little tartiness. Nothing too crazy nutwise, but some good roasted malts and fruitiness.

Keg at the brewery. It pours clear deep brown with a small off-white head. The nose is toasted nuts, earthy roast, dried fruits, raisin, fruit cake and some treacle. The taste is smooth, toasty, bitter-sweet, dried fruits, fruit cake, nut, light caramel and wood with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Well rounded and easy-going nut brown ale.

Draft at Atlantic Beer Festival Moncton. Crystal clear dark amber color, thick tan head with good retention and lacing. Aroma of light cocoa and toast. Taste is plain cocoa.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a mug.
Thanks Fred.
The appearance was a fairly good dark brown color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving a light lacing trickling along the glass.
The smell had a nice roasty to sweet blend of nuttiness to caramel malts.
The taste was a roasty sweet rolling nuttiness with a light caramel and toffee blend.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability. It seemed extremely well carbonated for the style as it came across fairly smooth.
Overall, hey...uh, nice brown ale I’d have again.
