Samuel Smiths Nut Brown Ale

cracked this one open watching the telly the other day. not much of an exciting aroma, pours dark reddish-brown. earthy flavor with tingly carbonation. flavor was mediocre, lots of caramel and a roasted nut finish. a pretty common beer, worth a try.

Brown but clear pour with thin head. Caramel malt aroma and I think a hint of toffee and nuts. Flavor was mild caramel and a little thin but not a bad brew. Went down very easy.

low aroma, ok palate, light nutty flavor but pretty well balanced. good bitterness, good finish.

It had a nice brown pour with a thick light beige, creamy head that was short lived. The aroma was cereal and light citrus. It smelled much like a weiss beer. The taste was more chocolate than nut. The chocolate gave way to coffee very quickly. The Oatmeal Stout is much better, but this was fantastic.

Bottle. As I open this one, the foam came flying out of the bottle. Thought it might be bad, but it actually taste quit well. Even do it was very alive when I open it, there was only a small white head. Colour was light brown. Aroma was caramel, nutty, fruit, wood, toasted. Light bodied with a soft carbonation. Flavour was sweet with light burned bitterness. Sweet finish. I liked this one.

Light Malt, and some lager-type yeast aromas. Dark reddish brown with a good tan head. Light palate is carbonated more than expected. Some weak malt flavor with light nutty tastes. A strange bitterness rounds out the bad experience.

Dark brown pour with large off-white head. Sour aroma of vinegar and nuts. Toasted nutty/toffee flavor.. Bitter finish for a brown. Body is decent, smooth carbonation with just enough crisp for the style.

Pours a dark red/brown color. Nice tan head, that faded away rather quick. The beer was surprisingly smooth, and even somewhat nutty. I know it is nut brown ale, but I did not expect it to capture a nut flavor, as it did. The beer wasn’t complex. After I tasted the slight nutty flavor, that was it, the flavors were lost. I rated this beer at a 3.1 due to the fact that Samuel Smith does offer some creamy and rather smooth beers. I wasn’t too impressed with this beer, as I was hoping it would have a variety of flavors.
