halfonit (423), Fall River, Massachusetts, USA Oct 24, 2009 Clear brown color. Aroma is of of malts, with a slight coffee, smoked and roasty scent. Taste is of malts, caramel, hops, and a little citrus. Has a little bit of a bitter aftertaste. walrussell (94), , Illinois, USA Oct 16, 2009 It seems to me that Sam Adams beers do mild very well. Dry, refreshing, a bit sour, no chalkiness, nice mild hoppiness, caramel, nutty, toasty, musty, a bit of fruitiness hidden in there. Good, easy to drink, which I think is a quality that is frequently missing from darker beers (not that a sipper beer is bad, but here, quaffability is a definite plus) mrhoppy (209), Santa Clara, California, USA Oct 15, 2009 As with a lot of BBC beers not over the top and very drinkable and well made. This one has really good flavor. Could be a touch fuller, rounder. Caramely, toasty and slightly musty. Dry finish. arventresca (334), Greenville, North Carolina, USA Oct 15, 2009 Bottle. Pours brown with creamy white head. Aroma of malt and hops. As far as brown ales go this one is a little more on the hopy side. Not a bad offering, but not as strong a some other browns. brewski519 (395), Morrisville, North Carolina, USA Oct 14, 2009 Pours a mahogany color with a thin head - aroma of malt, caramel, toffee and sugar. Flavor is malty with caramel, faint nuttiness and sweetess. Moderate carbonation as expected in a brown ale. This one won’t move the top of the list of favorite Sam Adams brews though - adequate at best. grimreaperguru (14), santee, California, USA Oct 14, 2009 Pours a clear dark copper red with an off-white head.Aroma is of caramel,malts and hops.More hops than I thought there would be.Flavor was just like the aroma.The amont of hops made it seem like a lager with its finnish.Overall it was ok. robforbes (1083), Bremerton, Washington, USA Oct 12, 2009 pours a clear copper-red, heavy carbonation, a very small light beige head, and some lacing.
smell is of nuts, brown sugar, malt, and some caramel.
taste is of light nuts, brown sugar, spice, roasted malt, and a touch of caramel, ends tangy with just a touch of bitterness. fidel (887), Livermore, California, USA Oct 11, 2009 Poured dark reddish brown, lightly roasted malts nutty, little caramel, little earthy hops.
