The Ithaca Nut Brown Ale was in the same variety pack I had gotten from my roommates. I have seen this beer a few times at bars around Boston, but only in bottles. Served from a 12 oz bottle into a 4 oz Sam Adam tasting glass. The beer pours a dark brown color. A small tan head forms on the top when pouring but dissipates rather quickly. The aroma is malty with hints of nuts and spices. This beer is medium-bodied and goes down smoothly with some carbonation. The taste is a mix of malts, oats, and some nuts. There is a slight hint of sweetness also. This is a simple and drinkable brown ale. I recommend giving it a try. Especially if you like English Brown Ales like Newcastle. Its much smoother than Newcastle also. I give it a B/B+.
