00cobraR (1096), Greensboro, North Carolina, USA Jul 18, 2007 Pours out a clear brown color with a nice beige froathy head. aroma is rather malty and caramel. Flavor is very much the same with a nice lasting after taste. I enjoyed this beer. jkoch (41), USA Jul 13, 2007 12 ounce bottle. Pours a miiddle brown with abit of a head that doesn’t last long. The aroma and taste are nut and caramel. Sligh hop bitterness at the end, nicely balanced. Mouthfeel is nice. Goes down easy. Overall I like this beer a lot. Very smooth. JMacD (3), Williamstown, Massachusetts, USA does not count Jul 13, 2007 One of the very few beers I’ve tasted which lives up to the advertising: flavors of biscuit, nut and caramel. CAVEAT: it’s important NOT to drink this beer too cold. The typical American (of which I’m one) tendency to chill beers to tastelessness will kill this beer. Cellar temperature for this beer is perfect. Good start, good finish. It’s well balanced between slightly sweet malt, of which there is plenty, and the bitterness of hops. Good body, creamy head, this may not be an exceptional brown ale but it is one of the best American brown ales to be found. It’s delicious. Fevernova (33), Ohio, USA Jul 12, 2007 Bottle -- Medium clear brown with a thin head. Good aroma but lacks the flavors to back it up. Not my favorite of the Samuel Adams selection. republican1027 (8), USA does not count Jul 12, 2007 Though brown ales aren’t my favorite, this one is very good. Probably would go for a New Castle first, but this is still an excellent choice. T3llLAllDE (82), USA Jul 12, 2007 meh not that good. another lame beer by sam adams that really doesnt do anything for me. alot worse out there of course but theres alot better to just a middle of the road beer that doesnt need to be drank really SturmWulf (65), USA Jul 11, 2007 Updated: Jul 31, 2007Reddish-brown in color, thick creamy head a slightly tan color. Head slowly receded to nice creamy cap. Left nice lacing. Strong, pleasant aroma of malt, caramel and nuts . Flavor of Roasted malt, sweet caramel, slight hop bitterness. A nice full body with average carbonation. Finish was long, slightly bitter and pleasant . A very good beer. I will definitely buy again. JFGrind (1346), Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 11, 2007 Sweet Brown Ale, with rusty brown body and thin head. Caramel Malt flavors, nothing over the top. I think this is the first Sam Adams I sampled that I’d consider a "guzzlin’ beer’.
