Some recent beers.

Well, I have apparently been way too busy to write anything recently, but I am still drinking beer of course! Here are some I have had recently.
Samuel Smiths Nut Brown Ale.
Rich, nutty aroma. Not as sweet as Newcastle, and the aroma in definitely present in the taste as well. Medium body and full mouth feel. Nice lingering finish. If you like Newcastle, make sure to try this beer.
Olde Suffolk English Ale.
I bought this despite the clear glass bottle. The promise of tasting a aged ale was too much for me to bear!
Dark mahogany color. Thin mocha head. Lightly skunky aroma from the clear bottle. Nuttiness. Tastes sort of like a rich Belgian ale, but lighter, giving way to something like a nut brown ale. Light carbonation. Very lingering finish. Worth a try, without the skunky flavor this would definitely be a must buy!
My very own Fantome @ 1 year of age!
Color may be a touch darker. Still streaming carbonation and a little white head. The aroma is more barnyardy than I recall- dark warm orange, hay. The flavor is earthy, soil, hay with light citrus, with a medium finish. Still very light mouth feel owing to a very low ending gravity.
