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.

Deep amber pour with an off white fizzy head. Aroma is a distinct roasted with a slight hop balance. Flavor has a slightly sweet but not overly strong caramel maltiness with a very slight hop character on the finish. Palate is some what milky.

Dark Brown color. medium carbonation, wasn’t overly impressed with this one. Maybe brown ale isn’t to my liking. Just couldn’t finish this one.

Dark, murky brown color with a thin white head. Toasted malt aromas with a bit of nuttiness. Touch of sweetness, maybe caramel or molasses. Medium body and moderatly carbonated. Smmoth on the tongue with a clean finish.

Pleasant aroma and nutty taste - aftertaste was very sweet. Toasted malty aroma but not hoppy enough. BBC has several better beers than this one.

Pours late autumn leaf brown, with a medium length head. Aroma is brown sugar sweet with a hint of garden herbs. Has a full tongue feel and a pleasing flavor with good hop balance. Goes down smoothly, but a little of a sweet aftertaste.
