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.

Bottle-Straight up brown ale. Nice brown color with some carbonation. The aroma was full of caramels and roasted malts. The taste was of the same with some nuttiness tossed in.

Delicious aroma, caramel, roasty, and a little nutty, the slight bitterness is a welcome flavor to balance out the sweetness of the caramel. Not bad for a mass produced beer! After a few minutes of warming, the flavors are even more pronounced.

Not my favorite Sam Adams. Pours a pretty brown with a light amber head. Lively carbonation with a burnt malt finish

Got a sweet chocolate malt aroma. Poured light brown with red undertones. Flavor is Newcastle, but a little bit more lively carbonation and a little more bitter and roasty in the finish. Rather light and easy to drink.A tad bit more enjoyable than the Boston Lager.

Aroma is rich and malty, with strong undertone of molasses and a nip of salt. It pours a nice transparent brown, a rather pretty color. Flavor is strongly malty, some hop hints and a little sweetness, just a touch of bitterness and a little smokiness. It feels a little thin, but is still a very enjoyable ale.

This beer has a decent roasted caramel smell. I smell some nut fllavor, but it is very subtle. The smell is not to my lliking it is not that interesting. The beer doesn’t look bad; dark caramel brown beer, with smell loose head. The beer has an interesting taste. The beer has a decent sweet roasted flavor to it. The beer is very thin and it lacks the body that a great ale should have. Other than the semi-sweet notes, and the roasted flavor this beer is simply mediocre.

Pours a color somewhere between 3/5 red and 2/5 brown. A fluffy white head lays on top. Nice lacing too. Smells tasty. Like baked goods! Makes me want to bite into glass like its some sort of chocolate-filled candy. Taste is a little weaker than i expected but retains more of that pastry malty aroma. Clean and crisp on the tongue, and very drinkable. Good brew!

Pours a dark brown with a white head. pretty good caramel and nutty taste and very drinkable. It has a caramel aroma. I drank this out of a dimpled mug.
