Apr 3, 2008 Dark brown color with a small darkened head. Very malty and nutty aroma. Flavor is largely malts with some caramel note and more nut. It’s not a very exciting beer, but it’s nothing bad, and very enjoyable. It’s definitely one of my preferred brown ales.

Apr 2, 2008 Common theme: Sam Smiths knows how to make dark beers. Each and every time. This one is dark, but not quite black. Malty and tasty. A bit thin on the mouthfeel, but overall another quality brew from SS.

Mar 30, 2008 More amber than brown with a fair head. Solid aroma of sweetness and nuts. Typical brown ale, light on the tongue with little carbonation, mild taste that is well balanced.

Mar 30, 2008 Beautiful pour - amber color with a beige-orange foamy head. Thinner body than anticipated. Burnt malt flavor - burnt coffee. Slight sourness. Aroma is primarily banana.

Mar 27, 2008 If I had to pick between this, Newcastle Brown, and Bell’s Best Brown, I would pick this. It gets the job done.

Mar 27, 2008 Pours a clear, dark orange-brown with two fingers of fluffy beige head. The nose is of sweet, nutty malt, some caramel and a bit of skunkiness. While this is coming from a clear bottle, it is easily the darkest beer in which I’ve ever detected evidence of light damage. Medium-bodied and slick with a nutty, toasted finish, the flavor is nutty, caramel malt up-front transitioning to a clear finish with a lightly nutty aftertaste. This is a solid middle-of-the road brown that went well with my steak. It features nothing offensive and nothing particularly exciting. I’d consider getting it again the next time I want to grab a single bottle of brown to pair with a meal, but I’ll make sure to snag it from the cooler or a darker store.

Mar 24, 2008 Pours a slightly cloudy brown, with a very small head. Smells of nuts and tastes much the same. Slightly malty. A very nice ale.
