Apr 22, 2008 Updated: Apr 23, 2008Not sure about the ‘well water’ or ‘Yorkshire squares’. Does taste different. Drank from an ice cold bottle though i bet it would better at room temperature. Good dark amber colour. some nuttiness but not as much as advertised (cf. Michael jackson’s beer companion). goes down pretty sweet. Next to no hops or head, though tastes a bit stale ...or is that soap? Maybe it’s the seaweed finings. 5% alcohol gives you some value for your buck. and its taste is not as simple as it seems. this is my 100th beer rated - wahooo!

Apr 20, 2008 Pour was dark brown with light tan head. Aroma of malt and nuts. Flavor was a little mild but real smooth. Nice brew but nothing special. Might buy again.

Apr 20, 2008 Clear reddish brown with lasting but thinning tan head. Nutty, caramel alcohol aroma. Easy drinking, nutty malt taste.

Apr 20, 2008 Pours as you would expect, a hazlenut brown with practically no head. Aroma of vanilla, raw sugar, roasted malts. The flavour is decent, roasted malts as you would expect, with some walnut and caramel. Pretty decent.

Apr 19, 2008 500ml bottle
5.0% ABV
I tried this beer on April 17, 2008 after purchasing at one of the local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a beautiful translucent reddish-brown colour with a huge rocky head that slowly dissipated. The aroma was caramel malt, and some hops. The mouthfeel was full-bodied, slightly creamy, and slightly bitter. The flavour was similar to dark, powdered cocoa, with a little hoppishness.

Apr 16, 2008 Pours fairly thin for a brown ale, but with a good head. Color was less dark than I would have expected and the aroma was more of a lager than anything. More refreshing than the average nut brown, but seems to have a little less flavor than I was looking for.

Apr 16, 2008 Samuel Smiths Nut Brown Ale is a beautiful brown color with a very minimal head. The aroma is sweet and rich. The taste is nicly bitter and was very refreshing. This ale is light enough be to enjoyed by itself, but also has enough character to be enjoyed with a hearty meal.
