Samuel Smiths Nut Brown Ale

Brewed by Samuel Smith
Style: Brown Ale
Tadcaster, England

Bottle. Some notes of slightly tart fruit (green apple?), mostly just sweet malt. Pretty light bodied. Nothing unpleasant, but not too much character either. Probably would make a respectable session brew with a few pints. Ok.

Bottle. Pours a clear brown/amber color with a small sized white head. Aroma of light fruits (pear, apple). Taste of more light fruits, maybe some walnuts. A good chill beer.

light body, average carbonation, a light hoppy finish, light nut flavor tbh while I enjoyed the beer, it’s def. not my favorite nut brown

Dark brown color with a small darkened head. Very malty and nutty aroma. Flavor is largely malts with some caramel note and more nut. It’s not a very exciting beer, but it’s nothing bad, and very enjoyable. It’s definitely one of my preferred brown ales.

Common theme: Sam Smiths knows how to make dark beers. Each and every time. This one is dark, but not quite black. Malty and tasty. A bit thin on the mouthfeel, but overall another quality brew from SS.

More amber than brown with a fair head. Solid aroma of sweetness and nuts. Typical brown ale, light on the tongue with little carbonation, mild taste that is well balanced.

Beautiful pour - amber color with a beige-orange foamy head. Thinner body than anticipated. Burnt malt flavor - burnt coffee. Slight sourness. Aroma is primarily banana.

If I had to pick between this, Newcastle Brown, and Bell’s Best Brown, I would pick this. It gets the job done.
