AleSmith Nautical Nut Brown Ale

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

Growler from a trade with WeeHeavySD. Pours a clear dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of nuts, caramel, and roast. Great flavor, a little nutty, but a little light body. Great session beer...I might have been able to drink a growler by myself :)

Sample from a growler. Dark brown pour with a medium tan head. Malty aroma with nuts and coffee. Creamy vanilla flavor that is a tad sweet up front, followed by a roasty coffee and nuts finish. Truly outstanding for a brown ale.

Thanks to Homerwantsbeer for sharing a growler. The beer pours a clear dark amber-brown color with a miniscule white head that disappears quickly. Spots and short strings on the glass. Equal parts fruit and malt in the nose. Medium, clean body with flavors of malt, caramel and sweet fruit, and a mildly hoppy undertone throughout. The finish is sweet chocolate malt with a fruity/nutty aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

On tap at Alesmith. Great caramel red-brown in the glass. Fruity and nutty with malt on the nose/. Taste is good, but finish is lacking.

(draught) dark brown with small tan head. Roasty malt/nutty aroma. Flavor is well balanced with malt but enough hops in the finish.

On tap @ O’Brien’s: Faint and mild aroma barely detectable, so I am unable to note but yet at the same time giving it a fair score. Flavor is pure nuts with a wide assortment such as pistachio, cashew, almond, and hazelnut. Also, there is a perfectly toasted malt background which really allows for this drink to be as good as it is. Appearance was simply a dark brown color while a creamy topping of head iced the cake sort of speak.

Tap at the brewery. Dark brown pour. Very roasty and nutty (duh). Lots of malty goodness. Flavor was much the same, very drinkable and smooth overall.
