Samuel Smiths Nut Brown Ale

Brewed by Samuel Smith

Dark brown with a squatty tan head. Nutty and malty aroma with some toast. Lighter than expected mouthfeel. Roasted malt, hazelnuts, pecans, and coffee in the taste. The crystal malt is detectable in the back. Pretty good.

Bottle, August 07. Cristal clear, copper color with some orange-golden hues and a medium, creamy beige head that lasts my whole pint. Aroma is toasty, toffees and some chocolate notes. Warm, nutty, toasty flavor with some cereal notes and some gentle english hops. Medium mouthfeel, highly drinkable with a recomforting nutty aftertaste. Very nice nutty, warming brown ale.

A personal favorite for filling a pub glass and enjoying while watching British comedies. Great from the bottle, and the one time I had it on tap, even better.

[486-20070805] 550mL. Strange alcoholic sweet cherry aroma with hints of apple fruit. Clear, amber brown body with a medium-lasting foamy off-white head. Nutty malt flavour is bitter and dark. Medium body is a little watery. Harsh nutty blending could be smoother, plus, the aroma seems drastically different than expected of a nut brown.

Re-rate 4/30/2006. I’ve had bottles of this taste funky/skunky. I’ve definitely had bad bottles, but even the good ones have had a grassy/hayesque hop flavor that can be confused with skunk. The flavor is predominantly caramel with some bittering balance. Rich and full, one of the better nut browns, but for the money, I’ll take me a Smutty Old Brown Dog or a Rogue Hazelnut!

Pours a delicious brown color with a good sized cream colored head. The aroma is very sweet and nutty tasting. Reminds me of Rogue’s Hazelnut Brown Nectar. This is one of the better brown ales I’ve had.
