Nimbus Nut Brown Ale
Thanks to jcwattsrugger for bringing this back from AZ for me! Pours medium-to-dark brown with rubyish highlights. A very thin tan head soon becomes a thin wisp and some bubbles, but lacing does stick. The smell is of cocoa, light roast, citrusy bitterness, pretty spicy, with slight nuttiness. The taste is of cocoa/chocolate with some roast. Roastiness is porterish. Balancing citric/spicy hops would put it more into American Brown Ale, IMO. It has some nuttiness. It has a bittersweet finish. The body is on light-side of medium-bodied with laid-back carbonation. An enjoyable, easy-drinking brown ale. Nicely balanced, though not overly complex or rich. It has a nice aftertaste, to boot.
