J.T. Whitney's Nut Brown Ale is a very drinkable example of an English brown ale. It's not an exciting style, but it is really drinkable in the "session" mindset. I think I could easily enjoy a few of these during a game of darts with the lads.
Delivered to the bar just seconds after pouring, it had a creamy off-white head atop its clear chestnut brown body. The head holds fairly well, and it leaves some thin splashes and spots of lace about the glass.
The nose is somewhat restrained as the style dictates, but offers a mild, caramelish maltiness. Clean and welcoming.
In the mouth it's smooth and gently crisp with a moderate carbonation and medium-light body.
The flavor offers a subtle chocolate edge backed by caramel. A solid bitterness steps in, and then some leafy and grassy hops are revealed at the swallow. It lingers shortly in the finish.
This may not be as rounded as some of the best examples of the style as it's a bit stiff, but it's not far off! A touch of diacetyl, like in the Badger Red, might be nice, as it would round and soften it a bit and add some nuttiness - or with some Cascades thrown in it could be a brilliant American version! I enjoyed it, and when I get back there in a few weeks I'll be sure to start the night with one :)
