Notes / Commercial Description:
Winner of both the Gold and Bronze Medal in the North American Brewers' Association competition. This northern Arizona favorite has a consistent nutty flavor with just a hint of spice in its depths. A slowly emerging bitterness crops up along the way and is unobtrusively incorporated into the smooth flow. It finishes with a gentle nuttiness and spiciness.

Poured out of the bottle. Color and overall appearance was promising with a nice tan head. Some toasted notes in the nose, but not as nutty as I would have expected. I found the flavor to lack complexity, especially in the malt character and minimal contribution from the yeast. Perhaps the sample had been on the store shelf too long

Mahogany, tea-like, up to the light. 1/2 a finger of eggshell head that fades fast with minor spotty lacing. It does smell like roasted nuts, so that's a good sign. Also a bit of that classic brown ale smell, but not a dark roasted rich smell. Malty and a bit sweet. There is a bit of an off/rotten flavor in this. Malt and bread crust. Average carbonation, dry on finish and medium thin body. Approaching a drain pour because of this nasty rotten meat flavor. Yuck.
