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 clear, brassy brown in color, with a small head of fizzy taupe foam. Minimal, wet spotting mostly rejoins the body. The nose shows light caramel malt, sweetened grain, and faint traces of nuttiness. Flavors are the same, mostly grainy and caramelized, with very little hop chaacter. Light in body but balanced, it’s drinkable enough, but lacks anything resembling excitement. Decent.

Pretty standard for a brown, full of maltiness, a bit of toastiness, and no hops to really speak of. Flavorful and multipurpose. Wish it were in a sixer.

Bottle at home on March 22, 2009. Surprised at this beer’s excellent head and web-like lacing. It has a dark, yet clear, amber-brown color. Standard brown aroma with a lightly sweet brown flavor. Mostly malty, not very bitter. Fruit at the back of the throat, otherwise a pretty standard brown.

Pours a clear dark amber brown with decent light tan head. Malty and caramel and sweet. Flavor has some metallic notes, and hints of old vegetables. But not entirely unpleasant.

Bottle. Pours a deep, adrk brown with a foamy tan head. Aroma is sweet caramel and malt. Flavor is a blend of caramel, malt, and nut. Very good brown ale, easy to drink and not too bitter.
