AleSmith’s interpretation of this classic English-style ale is smooth, dark, and rich. A variety of specialty malts produce a brilliant dark brown color and a wonderful malt complexity. A light dose of East Kent Goldings and Styrian Goldings hops from England balance the malt sweetness without adding bitterness to the flavor profile. Reintrodcued at AleSmith in 2002, Nautical Nut Brown ale has quickly become one of our most popular beers.

On tap at ale smith brewing. Pours out brown topped with a sand head. This beer is a bench mark nut brown for sure. Nose is tons of nuts wood rich malts and some sweetness. Taste is more of the nice rich nutty notes and wood.

Opaque dark brown pour with ruby highlights and a beige head with decent retention. Spotty lacing. Light/thin mouthfeel for a brown. Definite nutty flavor. Slightly acidic finish. Liquid nuts. Kinda one-dimensional.

Pours a dark brown, almost going into black. Medium small beige head on top of it. Rich malty nose with dark chocolate upfront, bicuits and some vanilla with a bit of bourbon in the finish. Later on a fine hazelnut develops. Taste follows with pleasant chocolate sweetness. Silky body with hints of bitterness. Creamy maltiness. Full body but lightly drinkable. A hint of warmth in the end. A slightl sparkly feel in aftertaste. A delight

Bottle from Bridgend Service Station. Ruby body with a thin off-white head. Very faint lacing. Aroma of toffee, earthy hops and stewed tea. Flavour of burnt caramel, flat Coca-Cola and cocoa powder. Thin to medium body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Light fizz. Beautifully balanced.
