355 ml brown bottle, now available in Norway (Vinmonopolet). ABV is 5.0%. Chestnut coloured beer, large and lasting off-white head. Moderate aroma of hazelnuts, malts, caramel and chocolate. Malty flavour, moderately sweet with plenty of caramel, nutty finish with moderate hops. Nice enough, definitely better than Newcastle "Broon", but not really outstanding.

Pours a deep mahogany brown with a brief but pleasant head and lasting lace. Very faint peanut-butter aroma, slightly sweet. Sweet malt with subtle anglo-hops and a nearly-warm nutty finish. Tastes a bit dusty. Good creamy body with excellent carbonation. What I found most remarkable about this beer is that it tastes very familiar - just like all the other Samuel Smith beers I’ve had. Must be the yeast, or perhaps a signature hopping schedule? I have had better brown ales, but I have no complaints. Average.

Poured from bottle to dimpled mug. Rich flavor, not the best of its class. It’s an acceptable drink but I won’t make a special reach for it. Odd crooked mouthfeel. Flavors separated and worsened as beer warmed however. Coffee flavor a bit strong and astringent.

I have been drinking this since about 1995 & it was among the earliest beers I had. In its a deep red brown, with a big, thick, long-lasting tan head that leaves some lacing. This is a good, nutty ale with richer flavour and sharponess than the old stand-by, Newcastle, but a little less approachable or easy to drink. The body and flavour are fairly rich, complex, with a faint wine quality on top of the nut, malt, and caramel, along with a faint sweet-sour element and definite but mild walnut bitterness.

dark brown amber, decent brown head, which quickly dissapated. citrus and nutty in aroma. tasted of peanut, coffee bean, and a slight detection of honey. fits the name of the beer perfectly.

Bottle. Pours a light brown with a good strong head. The taste is hazelnut and a smooth malt. The aftertaste is mostly bitter hops with a coffe/nutty taste. Good.

From bottle : Pours clear medium to dark amber color, with offwhite fizzy head. Smells of Malts, nuts and hints of butterscotch. It isnt thin and isnt thick in your mouth, its a nice median, and feels lively on the palate. A nutty and toffee taste with malts. Good Brown Ale.
