Twelve ounce bottle from Biggs. Medium brown/amber color, sweet nutty aroma, off white head with good lacing, light bittersweet flavor. Better than I remembered from past tastings but of the two brown ales I had on Thanksgiving which just passed, the Brooklyn Browm Ale definitely beats this one.

Oct 6, 2008 (bottle - 12 oz) Nut brown color with a puffy tan head. Aroma is nutty and malty with some light sweet hints along with a touch of hop bitterness and some biscuit. Flavor is malty at the beginning with a light nutty note, a bready middle, and a watery and lightly bitter finish. A bit watery.

Oct 6, 2008 12 oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Pours a dark mahogany with bright blood red highlights. Light tan head that displays typically average lace and retention. Sweet, simple aroma of toasted bread, toffee, and nuts. Rather weak flavor, tastes like malt flavored perrier. Nondescript brown maltiness with little complexity or hoppiness. Body is thin and watery. A pretty crummy attempt at the style.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle. Nice walnut color with fizzy head that fades quickly. Nice nutty, toasty malt aroma with a bit of spiced bread. Medium bodied with a nice creamy mouthfeel and a tingle of carbonation. A really decent brown ale.

Oct 2, 2008 One of the sweeter Sam Adams beers. Medium bodied, aromatic and malty. Caramelly, nutty. Low on hoppiness. Overall this isn’t too distinctive but it gets the job done. I’d rather drink a Newcastle though.
