Samuel Adams Brown Ale: 18

Taste: 5 Finish: 5 Visual: 5 Aroma: 3
Total: 18

It's a perfect dark mahogany color. It's not so dark that you can't see through it. The head was medium thick and frothy. The aroma is a nice sweet malt.

The front is tangy and rolls nicely over the tongue. It has a nice roasted nut mid flavor. The back is sweet with a touch of bitterness. It finishes with some sweetness and a slight nuttiness on the exhale. It doesn't finish as clean as I would like. A slightly bitter coating remains on the tongue.

Overall, a very average brown ale. Surprising from Mr. Adams. Perhaps the browns should be left to the British to brew!
