Smuttynose Old Brown Dog Ale

While Smuttynose Ales tend to blend together a little for me, I do not mind. Smuttynose Old Brown Dog Ale is a year-round beer that starts off with an earthy, almost offensive aroma. I called the aroma “stinky”, but Jason did not call it stinky. The color is a light maroonish-brown. It pours a nice, light brownish-red.

Compared to English Brown Ales, this is stronger, more carbonated and hoppier.  There is a mellow nuttiness that gives was to the hoppy bite.  If you like India Pale Ale and you are looking for a little change of pace, this is one for you.

This is a nice and drinkable and we recommend you try one if you are over 21.
