Our Tastes-- BBC Nut Brown Ale

Continuing with the 3 types that Melonhead picked me up in Louisville, KY; tonight I am trying the Nut Brown Ale. It has a great dark brown color, I can't place the aroma but it is identical to something I have had before. Little to no head or foam legs, but a superb balance of hop and malt. I wish I could give some abv but again none are listed on the website. A few examples of other notable nut browns are Samuel Adams new Nut Brown Ale, Goose Island makes Hex Nut Brown Ale, Abita, but Samuel Smith makes the absolute cadillac in nut brown ales. I think I'll put this bad boy up against a taste-off between my #3 NBA and some Sam's here pretty soon.
