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.

Slight maly nutty aroma that fades quickly. Darkish amber color with no head. Light malt flavor with moderate apple/yeast middle. Finishes sticky and chewy. Lingering thick feeling in my mouth.

Pours a clear dark brown with a tan foamy head. Aroma is nutty, malty roasty. Taste is a bit bitter and weak. Nutty.

Clear deep copper pour with a small quickly fading white head. Nutty and bready malt aroma, hints of roasted malt, pear and brown sugar. Nutty malt flavor, some light fruit, a little soapy quality, some mild hop bitterness lending to a crisp finish. Thin body. A fairly average beer, not something I would probably ever seek out again, but I would drink this over macro.

2007 "Brewmaster’s Collection". Poured from bottle. Dark brown with HUGE head that lasted a while...Smelled sweet and malty. Taste was lightly roasted nuts and sweet caramel with just a slightly bitter finish. This was a very nice, drinkable beer.
