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.

Poured into a Sam Adams Perfect pint glass.

A - Light brown with orange hues. Off white head that lingers for a minute before falling to the side of the glass. Brilliantly clear.

S - Spicy, peppery hop aroma with a hefty sweet caramel and toffee along for the ride. Light mineral/chalk and sherry in background. No distinctly pecan aromas.

T - OK, there's the pecans. Chocolate, toffee and biscuity malts with a firm nuttiness. I wouldn't have guessed pecan without being told, but there is bold nut flavor. What really surprises me is he hop presence. Very firm bitterness and a peppery/woody hop flavor that lingers for a long time. There's some vanilla flavors sneaking in there somewhere too.

M - Medium to light body with firm carbonation and a medium dry finish. Too carbonated to be called a smooth drink, but it's not harsh either; would prefer a lighter carbonation.

D - A very American interpretation of an English Brown Ale. Pecans aside, this is one great brown ale with a lot of flavors going on. A good beer to show that you don't need a beer to be 10% to have a lot going on. Plus, you can drink two or three in a night. This would be a regular in my fridge if I could get it locally.

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.
