4/14/18...bright brown, white layer of foam that patches out. Mostly malt nose, nutty with colas and vanilla/brown sugar. Sweet nutella bready flavor. Slight bitter back. Very soft brown ale. Earthy,

Poured from bottle into pint glass. Clear and dark with fluffy cream colored head. Notes of nut, caramel, and butter on the nose. Taste followed the aroma but not as strong as the smell suggested. Medium to medium full bodied. Like another reviewer mentioned it seemed to improve in flavor as it warmed. A decent brew

Pours a nice medium dark brown against my review screen, and ruby against a bright light. Full and mounding dark tan head.
Tha aroma is nutty with buttery caramel. Reminds me of the butter pecan ice cream I made recently, only with no toasted pecans.
Nutty and buttery in taste, but less so than the aroma. Seems lightly tart with light malt sweetness in the follow through. The taste improves as it warms.
Crisp yet creamy slick on the tongue. Good viscosity. Medium to medium full.
Seems too dry at first, but it gets sweeter as the beer warms. A good beer in the end.
