I bought this for drawing and had hoped to add watercolor wash but in my test, after 6 HOURS of drying time, the ink washed out with a single brush stroke of water. Can't use it as intended.

It has nice shading. My first brown ink.

Love this color!

Excellent service

I love the color, and my son has specific nibs for his various inks, so I think he will enjoy this product.
More won't be known until he opens the package on May 8th in Alaska.

Noodler’s Pecan is a lovely color, flows nicely and looks beautiful on the page.

looooove this ink! it dries beautifully and doesn’t cause my pens to clog, and it’s not too wet if an ink. Shipping and arrival was prompt and on time. Give this ink and business a shot! Very well worth it. (:

I have been using Noodlers Desert Sunset Orange ink but find it very wet and slow to dry - it tends to bleed through more than I like. The pecan dries much faster and does not bleed. Same pen and paper.

So this is my favorite ink in this color range and let me tell you why. The shading is fantastic, it has alot of character, I dont have any issues with bleeding or overtly smudging, it runs well in all the pens I have tried. I recommend a 1.1 stub as that is my favorite nib size for this ink. If you dont roll your pen around a bit before using you will see that the ink settles and will write either very dark or very light. give your pen a quick shaky shake and then write its not that big a deal, also before filling your pen shake the bottle vigorously and then immediately fill as it does tend to settle fast. Seriously thou it writes great looks great has great shading, better than the sunset ink in noodlers line if you ask me.

This ink is a rich, bright color. It is on the wet side, so for me this suggests using this ink with more absorbent paper and smaller nibs. It could also be a good candidate for brushwork.

The qualities of the ink are nice - it writes well, has the sliiightest shading, haven't personally checked how waterproof, is plenty wet in my 1.1 stub - but boy is the color not at all what I expected. I don't know if I got a weird batch, or a mislabeled bottle. My "pecan" is more like pumpkin. It is very, very orange. A gorgeous color, but not what I go to for a whole page of script. It is more of a title/theme color to me, and therefore, I will never use up the whole bottle, and would not have purchased it. I was looking for a sepia-like brown, maybe with a bit of orange tint to it. Instead I got...pumpkin orange. Seems not to match the pictures in reviews here, so I'm stumped.

I expected to love this ink (I love brown ink!), but don't. Sometimes it comes out from my pen bright orange; sometimes it is the brown I expect. Sometimes in a single paragraph (if I pause while writing lines), it fluctuates between orange and brown. A helpful Goulet staff member suggested shaking up the ink before I load the pen, which helped, but now it's back to it's orange-brown thing within my pen barrel. I think the ink must settle, even once it is inside my pen. I don't mind orange (actually, I like orange!); but I don't like the variability in color. I will be looking for a different brown.

I've been using Kiowa Pecan for years! I mean YEARS! It is my favorite ink of all time! I love the color. It reminds me of a vintage document with the ink that has turned a warm brownish hue. It is a joy to write with, it flows freely in any pen in which I use it, and they all seem to glide across the paper. I can't imagine a time when I will ever be without at least two bottles of Noodlers Kiowa Pecan in my pen cabinet at all times! Johnny

Exactly why I was looking for in a brown ink. I love the shading I can accomplish with this ink. I've been writing extensively with this ink in my TWISBI 580 and am impressed with the ink flow and paper absorption.

I love the warm color of this ink. I have used it with a JOWO broad and a Sailor Music nib, which produce tons of shading. Lots of character and interest. I do wish the dry time was faster. When writing in my journal i have to wait a minute or two to move on to the next page.

I was looking for a nice medium brown for letter writing that would look nice against my stock of off-white cream stationary. As you can see from the images below it is easy on the eyes for extended writing and reading. shades well and didn't bleed into cheap graph paper either. Pen used was TWSBI Eco Stub nib. paper was Crane's Kid Finish Ecru-white.

I was impressed with the colour, and the flow of this ink

I love this ink. I should start by saying I love great shading inks. The Kiowa Pecan has beautiful shading with a surprising and lovely color range that is a pleasure to see on white paper. I received a letter written with this ink on cream paper and really liked it. I bought a bottle and used the ink on my own Clairefontaine white paper and that's when the colors really came out. It's a nice brown ink to begin with, but then some lighter tones the go into some oranges peek through. It's not dry, either. Really a nice ink.

I picked this up to go with a new TWSBI Eco Stub and I've loved the results. Well behaved ink (on good paper, anyway) with great shading. On G Lalo ivory, the results look like something pulled from history. My only caution is that if, like me, you use brown inks to straddle the line of work appropriate, this one may be a bit too light. It can appear reddish-orange on some paper. For that use, I'm sticking to Yama-Guri.

Bought this ink based on the color patches shown on the Goulet Pens site. It looked great but when I got it and inked up a pen, the Kiowa Pecan had a great resemblance to Diamine Ancient Copper, which I also like a lot. Not totally unhappy, they both look good and perform well.

This might be one of the best browns around. It's definitely partially bulletproof, like Black Swan in Aussie Roses, meaning that the darkest component of the ink is waterproof and bleach/ammonia proof, but some of the brown will wash away and smear when wet. This means that it's not going to just sit there, immune to all, but it does open up some awesome options for inkwash painting. The color really is a deep nut brown like the shell of a pecan, with heavy shading, great saturation, and looks perfectly professional. This ink would be at home in any business setting that permitted non blue/black.Good manners on most papers, only mild feathering and bleed on the worst copy paper I can find.Dry times are moderate, so if you're writing fast and need instant dry times, this won't do it if your nib is bigger than an F.No sheen, but I've yet to actually see a real brown ink with any sheen.

Great color for my journal, easy to read and works good on the thinner paper in my journal. Dries quick and works good in my EF Lamy Nib. Will try it in my Pilot Vanishing Point next.

This is a great ink. I was looking for a brown ink for sketching, either waterproof or something that separated into good colors when painting over it with a wet brush, and this isn't it. But I find myself reaching for it every day for writing. In a pen with an EF nib, it doesn't feather or bleed through even on the cheap paper I use, and it's just so satisfying to write with.

I have only used a few Noodlers inks. This one, mandalay maroon, and Lexington gray. I expected to love this one since the others I adored. I will say that although the color is lighter than shown, it can give you a nice bit of shading and is quite beautiful. However, it did not flow as well as the other colors, and Also felt and looked a bit watered down if that makes semse.

I bought this ink after trying the sample of it. I absolutely love it. It is great on all paper I have tried it on so far and holds its reddish brown quality even on fake paper (as I call it) like Rhodia's DotPad. It is a great ink all around

I was looking for a brown ink to sketch with and I am loving this shade! The ink is semi-water resistant, which allows me to use a water brush to get shading right after sketching, but it dries well too.

The shading on this is really amazing. I would recommend it to anyone who is doing calligraphy.

I bought this ink because I love brown inks. Being that browns are one of my favorites, I have tried more than a few. With that said, this is one of if not my favorite true brown available. It is well behaved even on the worst paper and just explodes with shading on Tomoe River or Rhodia. You know an ink is a great shader when it shades on cheap copy paper and this ink doesn't disappoint. It is wet but not soupy and the color is perfect for fall. It is aptly named as it produces colors reminiscent of pecan pie from light toasty crust, to sweet caramelized filling, to deep rich brown of roasted pecans. If you don't own this ink yet, but it now!

I am using this ink for sketching, I love this color of this ink, it is exactly what I was hoping it would be. It flows well, and it conveys such a warm, rich feeling to your work. So far, I have sketched a friend's dog with it, and it looks great.
