Samuel Smiths Nut Brown Ale

Pours a dark ruby with a light tan head. Sweet caramel malt aroma. Very malty beer, cross between sweet caramel and nutty flavours with a slight bitter chocolate taste. smooth dry finish.

had a bottle I pcked up on Bald Head Island. Modest head brown amber color with mellow roasted malt flavors and only a hint of hops. it makes a nice easy drink, not really too warm but finishes well. Not thin like some Nut browns

1/14/09 From the bottle. Aroma is a toffee and diacetyl blend with light roast. Appearance is clear copper with a well maintained white head. Flavor is slightly sour with a roast caramel maltiness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a low carb texture. Overall, an ideal for the style.

Bottle. Light to moderate malt notes of toasted and nutty, light herbs and dough for the hops and yeast with hints of date and brown sugar. Head is small, frothy, off white with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is sparkling clear medium brown. Flavor is lightly sweet and acidic, and finishes moderately bitter with a touch of saltiness. Palate is light to medium, between watery and oily, and has a lively carbonation. A good, well rounded and easy drinking beer.

Bottle. Very even beer, with smooth palate and nice blend of hops and malts. Creamy head and body. Very tasty.

Sampled at the Sam Smith tasting at Blacklick Wine and Spirits on 2.5.09. Clear brown pour with a medium tan head. Malty caramel aroma with nuts and some hop. Crisp and malty flavor with caramel and nut with some hop in the finish. Pretty tasty.

This was the first really good beer I got a taste of. Sad to think that at one time it was the ONLY quality beer that was out there. We have come a long way.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown. Aroma is coffee, roasted malts, and chocolate. Taste is the same. Very smooth on the palate. Very complex and creamy.
