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.

Pours a brown color with a thin, off-white head. Tastes of hops, caramel, and nuts. One of the better brown ales I have had.

12oz. Pours brown with a smaller off-white head. Fairly sweet aroma, body is soft and boring. Some brazil nut in the body with a finish that doesn’t hang around.

A very smooth beer with just as smooth of a finish, has very little aftertaste. For a mass produced brown ale at this price it is hard to beat.

Poured from bottle a mahogany brown with light-tan large foam head. Nose is somewhat subdued with a faint caramel and a fruity tartness. The flavor is also reserved with light roast and caramel hints together with not quite done bisquits and a pronounce tart bitterness. The palate is a bit spotty with not much feel to it. A little light on flavor and a watery palate makes me want something different. I’ll skip this one next time.

I really like this one but not for all it has to offer but what it doesn’t. Color, head, nose, palate yeah yeah all good. It balance is amazing! The perfect malt, sweat, bitter and aroma. Talk about the perfect beer.

12oz best before June 2008 - Aroma of toasted malts with a touch of nuttiness. Pours dark brown with a small head and good lacing. Flavor is standard toasted malts and biscuit. Palate is sticky. One dimensional and not so good.

Pours a clear brown with small light brown head. Roasty and malty nose. Flavor is really sweet with a nice roasty flavor. Finish is somewhat of dry roasted finish.
