Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Samuel Smith Old Brewery Nut
Brown Ale. This beer (and a sample of their other beers) was a Christmas gift from a co-worker friend of mine. I'm very glad I received this gift.
From the Samuel Smith Old Brewery website:
“Brewed with well water (the original well at the Old Brewery, sunk in 1758, is
still in use, with the hard well water being drawn from 85 feet underground);
best barley malt, yeast and aromatic hops; fermented in ‘stone Yorkshire
squares’ to create a relatively dry ale with rich nutty colour and palate of
beech nuts, almonds and walnuts.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
a deep ruby brown with a large cream colored
head and excellent lacing.
Aroma: Caramel,
toffee, roasted nuts and vanilla.
Taste: Sweet
caramel malt, toasty and roasty nuts, bready malts and a slight hop presence
for balance.
Overall: Creamy,
nutty and delicious, Samuel Smith Old Brewery Nut Brown Ale is fantastic. I’m a Brown Ale fan and this is the
standard. At 5% ABV this is highly
sessionable and highly recommended.
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
