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.

POurs dark brown and shows light notes of malt on the nose. The palate shows muted notes of walnuts and malt. The finish is nice and chewy. It offers a good texture.

Pours a translucent amber-brown color. Pour creates a beautiful, thick rocky head with superb retention throughout the entire glass. Muted aromas of toasted bread, nuts, caramel candy, toffee and crystal malts can be barely detected. Palate reveals a medium body with a slightly thin and watery mouthfeel noted mid-palate. Flavors are slightly more assertive than the nose with notes of cookie dough, caramel, nuts, toasted malt and a faint citrus flavor coming through. Pleasant clean, semi-dry finish balances out the sweet malt contributions. A slightly above average Brown Ale.

One of the beers I have had in their mix 12 pack and not really memorable, as is the case with most brown’s. Pours a cola color with a small and highly carbonated head. A slightly roasted malt aroma and taste, minimal hops if any. Watery and bland.

Bottle: Amber color, light head and nice lacing. Nose of light nut and crispy hop. The flavor is fairly neutral, nutty mouthfeel, over carbonated and thin. Hmm. Thin metallic mouthfeel too. Thanks Jake.

12 oz. bottle. Poured a amber color with off white head. Lacing stayed on glass all the way to the bottom. Watery mouthfeel. Not much going on here. Pretty much tastes like their Boston Lager only a little deeper in color.

12 oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Deep amber to light brown body with a rocky light beige head. Notes of yeast and molasses dominate the aroma. Flavor is of walnut, caramel candies and light coffee with a mild lingering English hop character. Decent but a bit sweet.
