Samuel Smith’s Nut Brown Ale

Clear and brown with hints of garnet, the brew is vigorously carbonated and retains a good, lacey head.  The bouquet is a bit tart and ends a bit sweet.  The texture is smooth full and rich with an initial note of coffee followed by a buttery sweetness.  Hoppy dryness is noticeable on the tongue and when all is said and done, this old classic is one of the best nut browns available.  Dig it.
