AleSmith Nautical Nut Brown Ale

Draft at the brewpub. A deep red bee with a thin tan head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt, caramel and a touch of hops, while the flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel.

Kind of like newcastle, but without the syrupy sweetness. Dry finish. Great nut brown.

Draught at Fathers Office. Dark brown with a medium beige head. Toasted bread, light roast, coffee, and light spicy hop aromas. The flavor has light toffee and sweet caramel with coffee and light burnt/roasted flavors and some dark chocolate. Medium-light body with overly fizzy carbonation. The flavor profile is spot on, but the malt could be a little more substantial and the carbonation was too high.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice tan head. Aroma of coffee, nuts, chocolate and plenty of malt! Medium to Full-bodied; Deep malty taste with nuts and some hops showing through. Aftertaste has some sugars and a little fruitiness - very well done. Overall, a very well balanced brown ale - worth trying if you are here in San Diego! I sampled this beer on draught at the Liar’s Club in San Diego, California on 23-September-2006.

Growler. First rating in new house. Pours clear brown with a creamy khaki head. The nose and flavor are both quite nutty with a bit of toasted bread and some herbal hoppy notes. This is a bit fuller bodied than your typical brown ale. Nice carbonation with nice malty dry finish. There’s a lot of nice things going on here, but in the end its a brown ale.

Poured brown with a white head. Aroma of chocolate and caramel. Good chocolate, caramel, and nuts flavor. Little bit of fruit in the finish.

Does a good brown! Full of sesame and nutty notes. Slightly sweet with lots of tannin like flavors in the mix. Pours brown with white head.

Great brown ale. malty, nutty, and slightly hoppy. tastes similar to rogue’s hazelnut brown, but with slightly less flavor
