Notes:
Southern Pecan Nut Brown Ale is the first beer in the world, to our knowledge, made with whole roasted pecans. The pecans are used just like grain and provide a nutty characteristic and a delightful depth to the flavor profile. This beer is very lightly hopped to allow the malty, caramel, and nutty flavors shine through. The color is dark mahogany. Southern Pecan won a Bronze Medal in the 2006 World Beer Cup in the Specialty Beer category.

Another extra from 6daysbottomocean

12 oz poured into a snifter glass

Admittedly, I don't eat very many foods with pecans. However, I can finely detect when nuts are in things such as brownies, cakes, cookies, etc., and am generally not a fan.
I do, however, love peanuts, cashews, and some other nuts just on their own.
Honey Bunches of Oats is a fantastic cereal.

Onto the beer!

A - It's an amber color, but much more on the brown side of amber...maybe a mid to light caramel. Anyway, there's not much head, nor retention, and not much lacing left on my glass.

S - Very sweet up front. I get some brown sugar and caramel malts mixed with, get this, a very nutty smell. I'm going out on a limb and going to say they are pecans. There's an overall sweetness I can't place as well. After reading a review, the sweetness is toffee.

T - I really like this. Lots of sweetness, and I have a sweet tooth. Brown sugar, caramelized sugar, maple syrup and a pecan taste lingering on the aftertaste...I think pecan pie is supposed to taste something like this? Maybe I should finally break down and give that a try.

M - Kind of a medium body with light carbonation. Fits pretty well for the style.

D - This is the only place where I can fault this beer in a major way. I can't drink a lot of it. 12 oz will probably be plenty for me.

4.19/5  rDev +14.5%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25

Beautiful dark amber color with a thin head (dissipates in a matter of seconds), with a smell of wheat barley (minimal to no pecan smell). Flavor reminded me a lot of Sam Adams Boston Lager with a hint of nuttiness (but barely). I wouldn't exactly call this an ale because it tasted so much like a lager. An overall good and safe beer to have. However, I was expecting more than safe, but rather an unusual hint of pecan since I haven't had pecan-brewed beer before. Tasted like many other good lagers (not ales) I've had before.

I poured this beer into my tumbler at 45 degrees. The beer was a nice dark amber. The beer poured a small head that was gone pretty fast. The beer did have killer lacing though. A nice caramel smell oozed from the tumbler and when I took that first hit I was pleasantly surprised. Nice sweet hit but not overbearing, sorta like a handful of kracker jacks. I reall did not get much of a pecan taste, but that might be a good thing. I liked this one and would buy again.

12 ounce bottle
Served in a conical pint glass

A - This beer is rust colored with amber highlights. It is topped with two inches of creamy beige head.

S - I get earthy, nutty aromas as well as some cocoa.

T - I get toast, toffee, nuts, and cocoa.

M - Moderate and creamy

O - This is a damn tasty nut brown ale. I'd put it right up there with Sam Smith's.
