Commercial Description:
The Brown Ale is a traditional beer related to the first beers ever brewed commercially. Brewed with an interesting blend of malts, including pale two-row Harrington, Metcalfe, and Maris Otter malt, Caramel, Munich, and roasted Carafa malts, the Brown Ale shines with a deep mahogany luster. The malt flavor is complex and deep as well, with notes of biscuit, nut, and caramel. With moderate hop bitterness, a deep malt body, and a fruity ale fermentation character, the Samuel Adams Brown Ale satisfies the soul and doesn’t overwhelm the tongue.

This ale poured a deep brown colour with a nice foamy, thick tan head. To the nose there is scents of brown sugar, ripe fruit and cocoa. First taste was smooth with flavours of molassas, caramel and a hint of hopps. The palate is rich and malty. Pretty good for such a large brewery.

courtesy of Laurent Mousson - clear reddish-brown colour with a dark beige head; weird aroma: smokey, hazelnut and a touch of alcohol; lot of carbonation, sweet and with a tart bitterness; malty and nutty finish - something’s wrong here

Bottle. Dark amber with almost no head. Light palate. Nice hoppy aroma. Taste starts with a nice hop flavor with a nutty finish. Not a bad beer for the price.

Huge creamy suds cascade over this beautiful tan-brown hued ale. Caramel and nuts aromas waft to the nose. Very creamy on the palate, this well hopped ale is slightly bitter with flavors of burnt malt and hickory. A worthy companion to the other great beers in the Sam Adams stable, this ale pairs well with burgers or brats or try it with a package of beer nuts.

I enjoy malty, bready beers and this is right up my alley. It has a slightly sweet, nutty aroma and a flavor to match. One of Sam Adam’s best.

Aroma is bready and malty, slightly sweet. Appearance is brown (duh!), and translucent. The flavor is hoppy, some malty sugary sweetness, and a little nutty. Hops dominate. Stinging hop palate. OK overall.

talvez por ser mi estilo de cerveza es un poco mejor que las demas de esta gente. no vale la pena mentir, la mayoria de cervezas huelen igual y el sabor es lo unico que las puede hacer sobresalir entre otras. samuel adams = overrated y + $ en anuncios
