Bread Tree
Fonta Flora Brewery

Brown body, light brown head. Aromas of chestnut with toasty malt, earth, and caramel. Taste adds cocoa to the proceedings, chestnut even more pure and powerful here. Malty and nutty, little more bitter on the back end, crisp for style and dries a bit

 

 

 

 

Draft at night shift
Big creamy tan head good retention and lacing, dark brown almost black a little ruby light

Nose nutty, biscuity toffee and caramel, chestnuts, a bit of chocolate, sweet malt, toasted

Taste semi sweet nutty creamy, toasted biscuity grain, a little chocolate malted milk ball, rich dark Pumpernickel bread like, nutty hazelnuts and chestnuts, mild baking spices, cocoa, cola nut, drier finish

Mouth is med to fuller bod, creamy rich, med to a bit higher carb

Overall solid nut brown, enjoyable

 

Appearance: An excellent bubble show builds a three finger head atop the clear coffee colored liquid; decent retention; plenty of squiggles

Smell: Brown bread, caramel and roasted chestnut

Taste: Brown bread and caramel forward with the chestnut flavors emerging, in the middle; the finish is a nice blend and leans sweet

Mouthfeel: Medium body (somewhat creamy) with moderate carbonation

Overall: I haven't had a brown ale in forever but this has some nice elements to it that provides a lot of flavor

 

My particular can overflowed and needed some time to settle. It wasn't shaken; for some reason, it was quite carbonated. With that in mind...

Pours a fairly clear brown, with vigorous carbonation. Aroma is nutty with caramel overtones. Taste is square in the brown ale category -- moderately bodied and nutty. The profile is quick and doesn't linger. This isn't a complex beer.

For a brown ale, enjoyable.

Served on key keg at the Seventh Independent Salford Beer Festival, the first time it has been run since 2019
Another fine beer. Lovely fruity and malty flavour. Smooth as silk. Nice coffee and chocolate notes.

 

 

Poured into a Fremont small snifter. Pours a dark reddish orange with a half finger light khaki head with good retention and lacing. Aroma of bready and biscuit malt, brown bread and unidentifiable nuts. Flavor is lightly toasted biscuit malt with a touch of caramel, brown bread, hints of molasses, nuts. Malty, lightly nutty finish. Medium bodied with light creaminess. A solid malty brown ale that adheres to the style, but adds a light to moderate nuttiness. It's been a while since I've had a chestnut, but I can't particularly identify that as the nut source. A nicely made nut brown.

We got this one from Tavour. Chilled for a while and poured into an imperial pint glass.

Look: dark brown hue with a finger sized tan head that dissipated quickly and left a tan ring, leaving a very faint lacing that didn’t hang around very long.
Smell: breads, a little nutty, hints of pine.
Taste: breads up front, sweetness and a bit of roasted chestnut that died away leaving breads brown roast.
Feel: light body, light tickle of carbonation.

Overall this is a solid bready brown ale. We were not sure about the chestnut notes and overall doesn’t really make a presence. If you like sweet, bready brown ales this is not bad, but as far as a nutty ale, not so much.

Cheers everyone!

a nice flavorful ale dark brown with good head -chestnut flavor adds great back taste

 

L: Medium brown, slight red hue at the fringes, and a finger of beige foam fading quickly and leaving spotty lace.

S: A brown. Can't say there is much nuttiness here beyond the aromas that generally accompany brown. I am not picking out chestnuts. It smells a touch on the tannic side of the spectrum.

T: Similar to the nose. Its only slighly roasty, medium sugar and very bready. I like it.

F: Nice body and appropriate carbonation, a bit silky. One of the better brown ale mouthfeels.

O: I think the chestnut was a good course but needed to be way amped up to showcase it. Overall though this is a fairly well executed brown that I would gladly enjoy again with different expectation.
