Postmortem Brew Review
Clear copper color.
Pronounced nutty aroma with a bit of hops present.
One-finger off-white head that leaves no lacing.
Dry, nutty taste.Taste and smell of pecans.
Modest amount of carbonation.
Light mouth feel.
Grim Reaper's Eulogy
Although classified as an American Brown Ale, I didn't get that while sampling this beer. It was in a world of its own with the addition of pecans. Abita makes mention on the label that while other beers hint at nuttiness in flavor, it is usually due to the process of brewing, but not by adding nuts. They have gone the step farther and added some of Louisiana's finest pecans to the batch making a uniquely flavorful beer.
Don't be fooled by the 'brown ale' handle, it doesn't taste at all like your usual brown. But that said, it does make for an interestingly off beat version. I liked it.
