Nut Brown Ale
Samuel Smith Old Brewery (Tadcaster)

 

 

poured from a 550mL bottle into a half pint glass. pours dark maroon to light brown with a big khaki colored head. amaretto and a slight nutty chocolate on the nose. taste follows. it’s simple but it’s fully flavored, especially for 5%. medium-full mouthfeel. finishes a little watery. pretty classic nut brown.

 

 

 

 

Chestnut brown with dense off-white head, good retention, rings of lacing
Smells like toasted nuts and raisins
Tastes like toasted hazelnuts, cocoa, and raisins
Medium bodied and appropriately carbonated, almost goes down too easy
Nice easy drinker for cooler nights

Pours mostly clear dark red amber brown with a creamy off-white light khaki colored foam head. Smells real nutty like almonds, walnuts, chestnut, toffee, toasted bread, caramel, a hint of chocolate, dried fruits, apricot, with herbal earthy hops. Tastes like nutty caramel, almond, walnut, chestnuts, lightly toasted brown bread, a hint of chocolate, toffee, subtle raisin, dried fruits, apple, apricot, some tobacco, woody cedar, pine resin, and herbal earthy hops. Feels lighter medium bodied, creamy smooth with moderate low carbonation. Overall a really nice English Brown ale.

Brown in color, as expected. Head was more white than tan, which was not expected. Nose is very malty. Taste was sweet, malty and nutty. Very well done.

Bit of a metallic flavour
