Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale
Super clear brown liquid with a light cocoa head. Decent retention and nice lacing. Smell is wonderfully sweet and malty with molasses and the namesake nuttiness. Some dark fruitiness, soupcon of butterscotch, and a bit of floral hops. Taste is rich with roasted and toasty flavors. Sweet brown bread starts and flows into nuts and roasted grains with a slight metallic edge. Yeasty fruit esters and a touch of vanilla. Clean slightly dry finish leaves some tea leaves and graham. Feel is medium weight with a semi crisp and smooth persona. Restorative and quenching at the same time.. Goes down so well but the complexity begs for savoring. a superb session ale.
