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.

Sampled from tap at ’Beertemple’. Clear, dark reddish brown with a tan head. Sweetish, roasty aroma of coffee, dark chocolate and toasted nuts. Sweetish-malty, moderately roasty taste of caramel, dark chocolate, coffee and toasted nuts, followed by a short, slightly roasty-bitter finish. Medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Quite nice!

12 fl oz bottle, bought in Mill Valley, CA. Dark red brown in the glass, a lot of small sediments in the glass. Small short living head. Malty on the nose. Taste starts also malty, increasing to the middle part, little bit toasted, with hopy elements until the aftertaste. Some sweetness. Okay and easy to drink.

Tap @ Beer Temple, small sample, thanks to the bartender. Clear deep amber to brown color. Aroma’s: nutty, red fruit, light caramel/butter. Retronasal the red fruit is more upfront, with light caramel and a hint of butter. Flavor is light sweet, fruity. Light bodied. Finishes light roasty, moderate bitter. Decent but not very exciting.

12 oz bottle poured, paired with game 7 of the season. Pours a thick, reddish (in the right light) color with a thin fizz head. Aroma consistent with the expected nutty malt. Flavor is cool, malty, soft almost chocolate like, but without the thick mouth feel. Clean tasting brown ale here. Quite the model for the style. Enjoyed this one.

Bottle at tasting. Brown color. Aroma of hazelnut, brown malt and some bitters. Simple taste of nuts, malt, bitter mild hop and some creamy choco. Not bad, just solid.

Bomber. Aroma is nutty, cinnamon, bready, wet river rock, licorice. Pours brown but looks clear amber in the light; medium beige head with good retention and a little lace. Taste is sweet, roasty and nutty. Not bad, but I’ve had better examples of the style.
