Pours a rich brown color with a half inch creamy white head. Medium retention with above average lacing. I am getting a solid layer of lacing all the way down the glass.
Aroma is simple and mild. I am getting malt with a nuttiness.
Taste is much more impressive. A nice nutty flavor at the start that works into a nice malt on the backend. In the finish I get a hint of coffee which is a nice surprise.
Light body with low to medium carbonation.
Overall this is a really good beer. I was worried that I would be disappointed when I gave it a sniff after pouring it, but the flavor more that makes up for the weak aroma. Light enough to enjoy year round. I'll be having this one again! - 697 characters

Poured clear with three fingers of medium-thickness, off-white foam. Low retention with good lacing. F0am meanders down to a thin coat over the top of the beer.
On the nose there is some nuttiness with some roasted malt. Aroma isn't that strong.
Flavor follows and is typical for a brown ale. Nuttiness and some vanilla up front. Big malt backbone that finishes with a tad bit of coffee.
Low on the carbonation and body. Refreshing beer (barely lasted in my glass). Maybe could be a little bit heavier but then it wouldn't be so easy to drink.
A really good brown ale that I could drink over and over again. If you pass through Wisconsin, pick it up. Just like any other New Glarus product, well worth the trip. Enjoy! - 732 characters
