Excellent Nut Brown!

Very nice English Nut Brown. Smooth and easy to drink. Mild roasted/caramel aroma and flavor with just a hint of black treacle and chocolate. Very smooth hop bitterness with very low hop flavor and aroma. Nothing aggressive or over the top with this beer. Just a nice easy drinker. My wife even said it was great....and she generally hates my beer. LOL! This is a crowd pleasing beer for sure.

Beer has a little more age on it now and the flavors are really rounding out. Very flavorful brown ale! The black treacle really pulls all the maltiness together. Love it.
