Samuel Adams Brown Ale

Twelve ounce bottle from Biggs. Medium brown/amber color, sweet nutty aroma, off white head with good lacing, light bittersweet flavor. Better than I remembered from past tastings but of the two brown ales I had on Thanksgiving which just passed, the Brooklyn Browm Ale definitely beats this one.

The aroma was nice for this beer. Sweet, nutty smell. Clean pour with mild brown tone and thin head. Smooth caramel taste, but very short of being great.

Copying from my tasting notes. Bottle. unimpressive, nothing about it stood out. but still wasnt "bad"

So far the first Sam Adams brew to completely lack ’inspiration’ or oomph. Dissappointing.

Appearance: Pours a light brown body with a small, fizzy off-white head. Smell: Toasted malt aroma with a good measure of nuttiness. Light scent of floral hops. Taste: Malt flavors of caramel, toasted nuts, a hint of molasses blend together with a mild sweetness. Hint of biscuits. English hops and a soft bitterness help to provide balance. Finishes both dry and crisp. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Moderate carbonation. Drinkability: Not bad! I could easily down a couple more of these.

355 ml bottle. Pours a nice dark mahogany with a dense tan head. Malty nose with a slight touch of biscuit. Medium body with an up-front malt presence. Hints of toffee with a slightly nutty edge. Nice lingering semi-sweet finish.

I really like this beer, though brown ales seem to not be that popular in general. It’s smooth and malty, not a brewing masterpiece, but very drinkable and not lacking in flavor. I still buy this from time to time.

Cloudy brown and red is the pour. Minimal tan-ish/yellow head. Smells of caramel cream, and slightly roasted honey oat bread malts. Tastes of light roasted caramel, crisp hops, and almost a nutty almond undertone. Has a refreshing drinkability to it.
