Maple Nut Brown Ale
12oz bottle from aracauna via trade. Thanks for the opportunity. Hmm, notches show best by Aug05, guess it was old when I got it. Poured into an imperial pint glass, formed a minimal 1/4" beige head above the slightly cloudy red brew. Head is quickly down to a swirly layer of teensy bubbles, with average lacing. Aroma is deeply of grains, which I like. Taste continues the maltiness from the nose, with a touch of light fruitiness buried in there, and a slight chalky close. Mouthfeel is smooth, almost cask-like, and drinkability is good as well. A pleasant surprise here, yum.
