Smuttynose Old Brown Dog

Brewed by Smuttynose Brewing Company
Style: Brown Ale
Portsmouth, New Hampshire USA

This ale poured a deep red colour with a nice creamy tan head. To the nose there are scents of hopps, pine, juniper berries, ripe fruit and a little grass. First taste was smooth and a little acidic from the hopp flavour but still very good. Flavours of hopps, smoke and a light caramel flavour. Palate is bitter and has a strong bitter flavour.

not a bad brown ale, small head, strong but not to strong, some carmel notes pretty good

Rich and brown in color. I tasted the caramel flavor with hints of other subtle flavors.

Pours more of a lighter beige than a true brown ale, with a small white cap. Not too much in the nose, some typical earthy british aroma hops, some biscuity malt. More of the same on the palate with a slightly thin body, finishing vaguely chocolatey. Not my cup of tea.

Nice brown ale here. Pours with a ginger aroma and a rich brown appearance. Tastes a bit ginger, roasted caramel, toffee.

Bottle poured to glass. Pours dark brown with a rich tan head. A sweet aroma woth smooth roasted malts and soft hop citrisyness. A calm roasted flavor with a pleasent soft bitter afterstaste. Creamy mouth feedl on the sidese of the tounge. A nice brown ale with fairly good lacing the lenght of the glass.

Pours a clear brown with an off white head. Aroma is medium sweet caramel, nuts and toffee. Flavor is much of the same but a bit fruity as well. Medium bodied, slick mouthfeel. Finishes medium and a bit astringent.
