Feb 18, 2008 Reddish brown with about a half inch of thick tan head that held throughout. Hazelnut and caramel were present in a very pleasant aroma. Perfectly balanced taste with sweet butterscotch that precedes a finish of dry nuttiness. An underlying buttery flavor compliments the smoothness of the beer. Medium bodied, nice carbonation. A terrific beer - seems like I always go for the SS Oatmeal Stout when both are available, but I was richly rewarded with my choice this time.

Feb 18, 2008 bottle poured an amber in color with a thin head of tan foam and lighter carbination. aroma is lighter with plumb, dark fruit, caramel malt, and some bitters. mouth feel is light but pleasant with a fruity thickness. flavor has plenty of dark fruits, enough malt and sweetness to give nice body and a dry bitter on the sides of the tongue. definitely got better as it warmed a bit and a good drinking beer just seems held back in the flavor department.

Feb 12, 2008 pours dark ruby with one finger of tan head. smells heavenly with notes of raisins, plums, caramel, & brown sugar. taste is malt sugar and nuts. finishes short and sweet. only flaw really is the texture. feels thin and watery. still very good and highly sessionable.

Feb 11, 2008 Bottle at the John Snow, Soho, 4th Feb 2008. Pours a good chestnut colour with a persistent head. Aroma of sweet malt, plums and dried fruit. Similar flavour, a fruity brown ale with a little bit of bitterness. Decent mouthfeel but a short finish. Average.

Feb 8, 2008 Samuel Smith’s Nut Brown Ale was good. It was malty and nutty, and has a bitter aftertaste.

Feb 5, 2008 bottle. good aroma of hops and malt. the head was very small right from the pour. great brown/amber color. this beer is dry yet has a watery after taste. very much like raisens and nuts. the more I drink Samuel Smith the more of a fan I become of this brewer. I suggest everyone try something from this brewer, they seem to know what they are doing.
