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.

From a holiday mixed 6 at Trader Joe's. Pours a light brown under a puffy tan head. Nose has caramel-treacle malts, and a distinct English hop load: kind of earthy. Nicer taste than other Samuel Smith's I've found. Malts and hops carry through from the nose. Noticeable difference in taste from brewing water, a bit more minerally than is typical.

This beer is a correct one, we could say that it is close to a Bavarian bock, a little smocked, malt, hop, well balanced, nuts at the final, 29.09.2016, drinking it at Prélaz, Lausanne.

Canned - rerating it in 2024. Brown pour, foamy white head. Mild chocolate and nutty flavors, mild hops. A good brew

Bottle. Really nice "Brown Ale". I’ve not drank alot of this style but this one was good. Great mild, malty flavor. Just a touch of hops. Overall, I highly recommend this one.

Bottle from Stanislaus Brewskovitch, Zwolle. Aroma is malt, caramel, toffee, nuts, and a hint of cocoa. Flavour is medium sweet and light bitter. Body is medium. Nothing spectacular, but pretty decent Brown Ale.

Аромат карамели с оттенками патоки. Цвет темно янтарный. Пена небольшая но постоянная, которая преследует пиво даже после полного употребления. Вкус неожиданно солодовый. Также ощущается карамель и патока, некое присутствие меда. Послевкусие мягкое сладко-карамельное. Пиво очень питкое и водянистое. Ему явно не хватает немного яркости во вкусе, но даже без этого Самуэль Смитс снова держит высокую солидную планку.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Clear brown with small beige head. Aroma of sweet malts, nuts, caramel, light aromatic hop. Taste is very malty with sweetness, toffee, nuts, some chocolate. Light to medium bodied and highish carbonation. Quite tasty.
