Aug 29, 2008 Brown with a low head. Aroma of hazel nuts, biscuits and berries. The flavour is bitter and roasted - quite balanced, but perhaps also a bit watery and boring.

Aug 25, 2008 Pours a dark brown with a medium, but long-lasting head. The ale is very smooth with caramel and either a Brazil nut or pecan flavor. This is a very nice tasting brown ale.

Aug 23, 2008 Bottle. Lighter brown color with no head. Nice slight nutty taste with a long finish. Good aftertaste leaves you really wanting that next sip.

Aug 21, 2008 (Bottle). Sweet malt aroma. Deep reddish brown in color, with a moderate head. Nicely balanced nutty malt flavor, but not much finish. Also, the body has a thin feel. Nice effort, and a classic traditional brew, but Ol’ Sam has been eclipsed by other more modern, more impressive and more substantial brown ales, from the likes of Smuttynose, Rogue, Dogfish Head, Brooklyn, et al.

Aug 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours a deep brown, with a substantial white head. Aroma of sweet, roasted malts. The flavor is not too sweet, but still nicely malty, with flavors of nuts, toffee and dark fruits, and a slight hoppiness in the aftertaste. Creamy mouthfeel. Not the most exciting beer in the world, but very pleasant and drinkable.
