Samuel Smith's, Nut Brown Ale (England) 
Brewed at the Old Brewery, Tadcaster in Yorkshire, this Brown Ale pours a dark- to medium-brown colour with a fluffy cream head. The immediate aromas is malty and, yes, nutty with a nice suggestion of hops and chestnuts cutting through. On the palate it has typical Yorkshire creaminess and a very nicely judged balance between sweet, malt and caramel and a dry, fruit and hoppy character. There's a suggestion of ground almonds on the long, smooth finish of a very nice, understated beer. No fireworks here, but delicious. 5.0% ABV, 55cl, �2.39, Onlyfinebeer, Peckhams. | |
