Manchester Brewing – Naughty Nancy’s Nut Brown Ale

THE POUR:
This beer pours very dark with a foamy tan head. Once the beer has settled the color stays dark dark brown almost black.

THE AROMA:
Very roasted and nutty, with slight undertones of coffee and chocolate. Smells very good and mild not overpowering.

THE TASTE:
The taste a first sip is very nutty with a hint of black coffee. After it sits the taste turns more bunt than nutty. The finish is dry and lifeless!!!

Mouth-feel is dense and heavy.

THE DECISION:
Overall this beer was a let down. It could be in part that my first experience with a nut brown was with a Samuel Smith. The beer could have better balanced.

THE GRADE: D
