Commercial Description:
Old Brown Dog has been cited as a classic example of the "American Brown Ale" style of beer. Compared to a typical English Brown Ale, Old Brown Dog is fuller-bodied and more strongly hopped.

Draft, Baja Bean, Staunton VA. Medium brown color with tan head. Nose of lightly toasted malt, caramel and brown sugar, peanuts, and some faint spiciness. Flavor is malt-forward, though with enough hops to balance out the sweetness. Some spices come through in the finish-- pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, etc. Not really my thing, but well made, and an easy drinker, and I’ll always support the Smutty.

Rich and brown in color. I tasted the caramel flavor with hints of other subtle flavors.

Pours more of a lighter beige than a true brown ale, with a small white cap. Not too much in the nose, some typical earthy british aroma hops, some biscuity malt. More of the same on the palate with a slightly thin body, finishing vaguely chocolatey. Not my cup of tea.

Bottle poured to glass. Pours dark brown with a rich tan head. A sweet aroma woth smooth roasted malts and soft hop citrisyness. A calm roasted flavor with a pleasent soft bitter afterstaste. Creamy mouth feedl on the sidese of the tounge. A nice brown ale with fairly good lacing the lenght of the glass.
