| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 14, 2009 My first nut brown. Beer is non-descript reddish brown, head was brief. Aroma has smooth caramel and slight resin. The beer is of medium body but it swishes around the mouth easily, probably because a low carbonation level? Flavor is a little winey or sherry-like. Finish actually has some nuts! (It also lasts a few seconds.) Yay beer! Stefano (1344), Esbjerg, Denmark

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 8, 2009 I got this one when I was riding home on my bike last week, I stopped half way and popped this open....A great ale. An aroma of toffee and hops. Appearance is a clear dark brown amber color. Taste is a bit nutty, but mostly toffee and hops. Full bodied flavor and palate. This beer is like a meal. what a great pause to the communute home. sm89walt (460), Norwich, Norfolk, England
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 6, 2009 55cl bottle. Chestnut brown with a big beige head commanding the glass. A round nutty malt presence on the nose, some tea and bread. Malt dominates in the first with demerara sugar, dried fruit, biscuit and bread notes with a boiled (sweet) sweetness. This sweetness finishes with a herbal hop and roasty bitterness on and after the swallow. Dry, bitter and nutty aftertate. Medium body and carbonation - starts a bit aggressive but soon settles. chrisv10 (370), Denmark

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 26, 2009 light brown with a big fat head. nutty yet fruity (good balance). like the review below me, slighty sweet and a very modest amount of hops which pairs nicely with the overall flavor and taste. no aftertaste of anything that makes you lick your lips and say "what was that". my only complaint with this one like some other sam smiths is that it tastes a bit watered down and could be more flavorfull, like theyre holding a little back. good brew though.
