This is probably one of the best brown ales since Boyne River closed and their brown was killed off. It’s not on that level, but then again, no other brown ale is. It’s a nice dark coppery brown, clear with a good head that has good staying power. The aroma is rich dark malts, caramel, slightly cake like. There’s a nuttiness that isn’t really obviously pecans. It’s kind of like hazlenut without that slightly cloying quality of those. The flavor is lightly sweet, rich malts and the added complexity of the roasted nuts make for an easy drinking beer. The body is a little light for my tastes, but I had the first beer and couldn’t keep myself from pouring a second. The beer is gone in no time and I’m still wanting more. Not for hop-heads or others with tastes for over the top beers, but if you have an appreciate for solid, malty brown ales, you’d like this one.

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.
