| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 21, 2007 Nice deep dark amber colored, little thick light brown head. Nice syrupy-sweet aroma, licorice and roastiness also strongly present. Medium bodied. Flavor is more hopped, still some caramelly sweetness and chocolate in start. Aftertaste turns to hopped one with still some licorice. Surprisingly crispy carbonation. Quality stuff again from SA. FastEddie (178), Louisville, Kentucky, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 20, 2007 Very pleasant, light sweet aroma. Pleasing, delicate and smooth hops and well-balanced caramel flavor. timfoolery (484), California, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 16, 2007 This is the third Samuel Smith’s brew I’ve had, and again I wasn’t impressed even though I’m actually a big fan of brown ales. Typically, they have rich, malty tones, but this one was very bland. RiverHorse (454), New Jersey, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 16, 2007 Pours a deep brown into the dimpled mug with a quick inch of tan head. Scents of spices, brown sugar and caramel. A very smooth and creamy mouthfeel with brown sugar, hazelnut and some malt becoming evident. A nice sessionable beer with an excellent, smooth finish.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 15, 2007 Aroma is a nice malty caramel scent. Color is a bright amber with good carbonation and nice thick head. Taste is mild, malty and clean. Starting with a light/medium body it goes down with a very smooth feel. Finish comes in with a mellow roasted taste that has a light nuttiness to it, then it ends with a very light bitterness. After taste is clean leaving you with a faint dry feel. This may be the best Nut Brown I have ever had, its clean and refreshing with a nice nutty roasted flavor. DTM (541), Winters, California, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 14, 2007 Poured a brown color with moderate head. Went down smooth, but not much too it. Lacked on flavor and body. Very disappointed. Would not recommed. junon (216), Honolulu, Hawaii, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 13, 2007 Hmm. Not as good as I remember the first time I tried it. Actually I remember being in love with it at the time. However this time around Im not overly impressed. Aroma is weak compared to Rogue’s Nut Brown Nectar. Again the taste failes against Rogue’s Nut Brown. The hazelnut comes out most at the beginning but tappers off and leaves a bitter after taste. Pours real beautiful though.
