BeerBaronLS (85), Grove City, Ohio, USA Aug 28, 2007 Probably my favorite of the style. Great toasty malty flavor with smooth mouth feel. Off white head. Whelk (124), Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England Aug 28, 2007 Bottle. Pours a clear dark brown with a tan head. Nose is malty, nutty, brown sugar, some biscuit. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Some toasted nut flavors with malt and some coffee as well. Some dark fruit esters as well. puggy211 (576), cordova, Tennessee, USA Aug 26, 2007 pours reddish brown,tan head.malty nose,sweet malty,slight nut fruity taste,not quite as good as I rembered it,but still good. hellbilly (1492), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA Aug 25, 2007 not light brown. not dark brown. just brown...sweet brown sugar malt aroma with some dry roasted nuts. medium/ light bodied with smooth and pleasant carbonation. flavor is mildly sweet with a toasted walnut bitterness and dryness . there’s a bit of smokiness on the finish...maybe coffee...i use a lot of ness... Beerlando (2283), Orlando, Florida, USA Aug 21, 2007 Clear, medium brown body. The frothy, cream colored head leaves behind nice sheets of thick lacing. Smells of sweet brown sugar, toasted caramel, biscuit, and hazelnuts hint at a dessert-like brew. At first, the flavor shows the same nutty, fruity, sweet caramel profile, but there is a surprisingly decent amount of hop bitterness to cut through the sweetness and help balance things out. The finish is nutty and pleasant, though fleeting. Medium body that is smooth and incredibly easy to drink. Another very nice brew from Sam Smiths. FrankJohansen (3327), Sabro, Denmark Aug 20, 2007 Bottle. Dark amber colour with a huge mostly lasting beige head. Rich aroma and taste of malts, caramel and nuts. NIce mouthfeel. wcampbell (572), Central, South Carolina, USA Aug 19, 2007 Good for the style, but not that great overall. Sweet and smooth caramel malt flavor. Not watery at all. Easily drinkable but boring flavor. ChristianScheffel (4431), Odense, Denmark Aug 19, 2007 Dark amber with a small off-white head. Light malty and nutty aroma. Rich, mostly dry nut flavour, I especially noted walnut and a resinous tinge of beech nut as mentioned on the bottle. Best traditional brown ale.
