Samuel Smiths Nut Brown Ale

12oz BROWN bottle, 7/22/07. Ah, that good old Sam Smith smell, reminds me of Colorado and 1996, good times. Holy crap, it’s been way too long since I’ve had this, an utter delight, rich nutty flavor with undertones of butterscotch and, and just damn is this a fine easy to drink enjoyable beer!! The only real flaw I can find (besides the filtration and pasteurization, whole nother rant) is a slight green apple flavor in the finish that is kind of off. All in all, a classic beer. Why do I not drink more of this?

Transparent brown with mahogany edges. Thin tan film for head. Great aroma of sweet, buttery, hazelnuts. Has the English yeast, butterscotch thing going on, digging it at the moment. As for flavor, tad of a let down compared to aroma. Slightly nutty up front, fades to a smoky charcetr through the middle and then dissapears. No flavor in the finish. "Long clean finish" hmmmmmm, yeah I guess?

Hazelnut flavor and malty very hoppy. Smooth and strong, and delicious! recomended

Very nutty. Everything from the look to the body of this beer is very precise. It seems that it is exactly as its supposed to be. Anyways, very good and fairly unique tasting beer.

Poured from a 550ml bottle into my Bell’s dimpled mug. This beer poured a semi-translucent brown color with a big, rocky, light tan head that slowly dissolved, leaving no lace. The aroma was made up of light caramel, nuts, and some roasted malts. The flavor was faint roasted, sweet malts with a lasting nutty finish. A bit thin and not really very impressive either. The mouthfeel was light to medium-bodied with light carbonation. Rather ordinary and boring. Newcastle Brown may even be better than this one.

nice nutty flavor with light lacing. filbert nuts for sure, hops and malts. smotth finish

Bottle. Deep brown coloured with a rather large tan head. Not bad but not really interresting either. Malty and a bit sweet and kinda one sided.

Pours a deep brown with a medium-sized off-white head. Aroma is of nuts with malt and caramel characteristics as well. Taste is of roasted malt with a high nut concentration as well, and caramel characteristics included. Good, but not great, beer.
