Nut Brown Head to Head

#1-
Head: Fluffy again and stuck around the top of the glass for a good while.


Color: Light color brown and again light passes through.


Body: This one was the thicker bodied of the
two. Nice full feel in the mouth


Scent: A nutty caramel scent off this one.


Taste: This one had layers. You got roasted malts
and caramel malts in this full body. On top of that
is the nutty kick. The hops in this one were
mellow.


#2-

Head: Fluffy but didn't really last that long.


Color: Light color brown almost read. Light passes through.


Body: pretty average body to this one.


Scent: Not to strong malt
scent accented by a nuttiness.



Taste: This nut brown is as advertised. Quite
nutty and slightly bitter. Not to much of a
sweetness kick. The hops are light and give a earthy tone.


      Beer two was fairly boring. Not really the type of thing I'd seek out again. Number one though has a great taste and is rounded out well. So obviously number one wins this round, ending the number two streak of beers on here. Goose Island nut brown wins!
