Hmm, another Brown Ale? Why not? This English Brown Ale is from the venerable Samuel Smith Old Brewery in Tadcaster, England. I've already positively reviewed Sam's Imperial Stout, and I very much like this offering, too. A billowy, lacy, off-white head tops a beautiful chestnut beer. Not much for the nose here; a clean, slightly nutty smell. The taste is a battle between bitter and sweet, with a nutty undertone. Creamy mouthfeel. A little bitterness at the back of the mouth is the only false note. Rich and malty, dark and hearty. Thumbs up.
