Imperial Nut Brown Ale
A: The ale is a deep muddy brown, almost but not quite to the point of black. There was a thick head on pour that has since whittled away to a small ring. S: The aroma is a strong nutty malt aided by some sugary sweetness. T: The taste definitely is a ramped up brown ale. The malt body lives up to its name, delivering a solid nutty malt flavor. On top of the nuttiness is a very distinct sweetness. The sweetness is definitely maple syrup. It provides a dry sweetness that layers nicely on top of the nuttiness. M: The sugary sweet mouthfeel is very pleasant and easy to drink. That sugar also leads to a higher abv but you really can't tell when drinking it. D: An interesting take on a traditional style. The amped up sweetness is nice without overpowering the nutty base.
