Aug 10, 2009 On tap. Turbid brown on the pour with a short, almost tan head. Spots of lacing. The aroma was nuts, roasted malts and light chocolate. The flavor was dry, roasted malts, chocolate, earth and some light spice. Almost medium bodied. Effortless to drink. Wow. A nice brown ale that doesn’t turn into a sour mess.

Nov 11, 2007 Updated: Mar 17, 2009A fine beer. Nutty, as promised, but almost like a lighter porter for its dryness. A typical AleSmith concoction for its unflinching cleanness, the flavor seemed somewhat straight-forward.

Feb 28, 2007 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.

Jul 25, 2009 Sampled on Tap at Alesmith. Pours a translucent, maple brown with a thin, creamy white head. Aroma was nutty and malty. Flavor was the same with some dark toast, nutty malts, sweet, caramel. Finish is thin. Sessionable. Won’t knock you over but it’s not supposed to.

Dec 17, 2008 Draft. Pours a medium translucent brown. Very very nice malt flavors with chocolate hints. Some nice nutty toned too. Very crisp and smooth mouth. One of the top brown ales!

Jan 26, 2008 On tap at The Red in Santa Cruz.
Ruddy dark brown, decent 1 finger head colored tan. Adequate retention.
Big toffee and caramel aromas, roasty chocolatey malt.
Nice toasty malt background to a sweet toffee note. Rich and nutty. Very English.
A little light on body but not distractingly so. A great tasting beer that you can go through several pints of.

Nov 17, 2007 Sometimes you find good beer in the strangest places. Last night, a buddy and I ventured off to a place called the Kava Lounge, Downtown San Diego. We went to see a DJ (Who is kind of a friend of a friend). Anyway, the music sucked, the place was strange, but good god they had an awesome tap list. Anyway, I have had this several times in the past couple years, but have yet to rate it. Im really not much of a brown ale fan, but needed something to cool the engines last night after having 3 speedway stouts - given the fact that I was the driver and a DUI would have been no bueno. So, this beer is what it is - an easy drinking, rather uneventful brown ale. It’s probably not smart to have something like this right after a monster beer like Speedway, because Nautical is fairly light and watery. Not bad, not great. Probably my least favorite beer from my favorite brewery. Still life is good when on a random Friday night you find a place with this many great beers. That’s is all.

Apr 11, 2009 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.
