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.

The aroma is sweet caramel malts. The pour is a nice brown with a off tan head. The flavor is not exactly what the aroma leads you to believe. The caramel malts are there, but they are subtle. Instead, there is a light hoppy and citrus flavor. The beer is way to carbonated and a tad thinner then I like. An OK offering. I expected a bit more.

12oz Bottle Pours out a dark amber topped with a small head. A little nut on this but nothing to great.

Darker amber pour with a moderate tan head. Hearty caramel and malt aroma with some hoppiness. Nutty, bready taste with a bitter finish. Good malt backbone.

Pours a dark, rosy brown with a thick, tan head. Good, pronounced aroma of caramel and a bit of citrus. Thick mouthfeel. Flavor is rather creamy with notes of (again) caramel and cream. Good bit of hops on the end. Pretty decent stuff.

Bottle: True brown ale color with a medium white head. Nose is light bitters and grain, on the light side. Taste is clean with hops, malt, earth tones, and rye. Not bad, but not great.

Bottle: Clear light brown color with not much of a head, even when poured violently. Sweet Werther’s Original aroma and subtle chocolate flavors with a little cardboard thrown in. It is smooth drinking and goes down nice. Thanks jake65.
