Bottle from ross - clear light copper/straw color, with small ring of lace - pine sap and woody, earthy hops in the aroma - slightly acidic, with a thin-ish mouthfeel - medium-bitter, with a fairly tasty, dry hop flavor, tempered by just a slight malt sweetness - some yeasty, bready notes - finishes with a long, dry hop bitterness - a decent IPA.

This nut brown pours just that, a dark brown with a head that is light brown and creamy. First sniff I found alot of spice. Cloves and a little chocolate? First sip had traces of coffee and alot of roasted malts. The finish was smooth and the spices really come through. The palate was very good. The nut and spice flavour lingered with a slight bitterness. I can’t understand the rating of only 37?! This is much better than that.

Hazy chestnut brown colour. The aroma is earthy, with hints of caramel. Moderate overall body and intensity. Fine nuttiness. Enjoyable.
