Saranac Nut Brown Ale

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 4

I liked the dark brown color and the creamy head of this brew. The aroma was strong-a bit nutty. However, the taste was quite disappointing (especially after reading the other reviews)....I really thought this had a iodine-like flavor and not all that pleasant.

Not to bad looking, nice brown huge with a tan head, nice lace. A nutty aroma on the nose, hints of malt and a light hint of hops. Wait! A note of caramel? Flavor is sweet all the way with a bitter bite in the end. OK in the mouth, sort of light. Not to overly impressed with this brew. Overall…ok.

Saranac Nut Brown Ale was a decent beer on a scale of 1 to 12 (beers of winter) with 1 being the highest I give it a 4. It poured a medium brown colored body with a small head. The taste was sweet and nutty. Not bad.. another tolerable saranac.

First of the holiday 12 pack. I see on the label "Ale Brewed with Honey" and I figured I would like this one the least as I generally do not like beer on the sweet side. But it wasn't too sweet at all. Light bodied and a little dry but overall a decent effort.

my first of the 'beers of winter' mix. Saranac NBA pours amber with an average head. Sweet toasty aroma. Mouthfeel is round on a medium body with fine carbonation. Flavor is pretty wet on the nose, with some hops coming through in the finish, only a little dry. Good malt presence, which is sweet of honey. Also crisp toasted and earthy flavors of mixed nuts. I agree, this reminds me of a Marzen too.

From the winter beer sampler pack. The body is a dark amber with a very thin slightly khaki colored head.The aroma i molasses with some caramel and musty old leaves. Reminded me of a Marzen. The taste is toasted toffee with some almonds. There is also a light note of milk chocolate in the finish. A nice brown ale.

one of my favorite Saranac beers I have tried from the winter pack. reminds me of a draft beer of Kiligans red. Rich mahogany red color with a nice thick head, but it goes away after a few drinks. I really enjoyed the taste, no after taste to me, this is my kind of beer.

Another one from the Saranac winter samper pack. Pours an amber-brown body with a relatively thick tan head. Not much to the aroma, slightly malty with a touch of hops. A little more malt in the flavor but there was also a sour, bitter, hop bite in there as well. Slightly bitter aftertaste. A pretty good beer but not great. I'll say Saranac is a pretty decent choice, especially when examining the budget.

I liked this one a great deal. Poured a medium brown with generous tan head. There was a tremendous amount of lacing on the side of the glass. The aroma was slightly sweet with a nice malty nose. The flavor was mellow with a strong malt preasence with a good hops finish. I was reminded of Saranac's season best as I drank. Season's best is also a great offering. I hope to be able to compare them side by side. IMO the Nut Brown is one of the best beers Saranac has produced. I hope the package it in six packs soon.
