AleSmith Nautical Nut Brown Ale

Draught at AleSmith brewery. Brown pour. Chocolate, nutty, malty aroma. Similar flavor. Very good, typical brown ale.

Sampled in San Diego in June. A nice beer, but not to the standard that AleSmith is famous for. Still one of the best Brown Ales that you will find. A very nice beer with a nice aroma. Taste is very nice, but nothing to be impressed by.

Draft at Downtown Johnny Browns. Poured a clear brown color with an average fizzy off-white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Heavy toasted sweet malt and light hop aroma. Medium body. Solid sweet toasted flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Good complex brew.

Via Growler. Poured a clear brown with ruby notes and a white/off white head. The aroma is quite nice, lucious even, with chocolate.abound and some nuttieness. The palate is not thick, but chewy. The perfect body for the strong malty flavours, chocolate mostly. It’s just good...with enjough bitterness in the end to balnce it all out.

Solid brown ale. I have had various offerings of this, as Peter will sometimes use different hopping schedules. Always a treat and a good session beer. Chocolatey, medium bodied, judiciously hopped. Not sweet, not dry.

Liquour-like Frangelico-type aroma, with wafting alcohol notes on a tone of nutty toast and malt. Dry. Heavy brown pour, with a nice creamy froth. A light and refreshing taste, however bold with quality hazlenut and tawny pale fruits to combine for a nice quality in a brown ale. Touches of saltiness in the nutty character. Both drinkable and full of distinction, yet having nice balance. Something that makes this top considering the quality of the body.

An interesting twist on a nut-brown ale, a distinct chocolate aftertaste is very nice, especially when you’re dying for a drink after work.

A very smooth yet chocolate-nut flavored ale. Not particularly filling, so this is great for a before-dinner beer. Currently available for growler fills at the brewery though not available in bottles.
