Nut Brown Ale (Goose Island)

Goose Island is, of course, a brewery that has been featured before on this blog - and will be in the future.  However, their Nut Brown Ale isn't their best offering.

The flavor is a dull chocolate flavor throughout; there isn't truly a differing note from the nose to the aftertaste.  While not unpleasant, it's a little boring compared to other, more complex brown ales.  Remember how we said that Goose Island's Harvest Ale was just one note of bitter?  Well we'd say that this Nut Brown Ale is just one note of chocolate - however it is definitely more drinkable than their Harvest Ale.

However, you could do far worse for a beer to drink with a steak or just at the end of the day.  But given the choice, we'd rather have a Messiah Nut Brown Ale or Ellie's Brown Ale.
