I have yet to try a beer from Samuel Smith that isn’t a perfect example of its style, and this Brown Ale is no exception; a dark, rich (but not too heavy), malt-driven ale that boasts flavours of toasted almonds and caramel. For lovers of English beer, like myself, it seems to conjure up smooth and malt-y nostalgia of a dimly lit pub with the football on, and your side up… life’s good.

Sam Smiths is the best brown ale I’ve ever had. I’ve written several emails to NSLC asking them to bring in more beers from the UK after they discontinued Newcastle Brown, Boddington’s, etc. Was very happy to discover that Bishop’s Cellar started stocking this gem along with several other UK beers. Highly recommend

The best brown ale I’ve ever had – very glad to see a location that has imported some good beers from the UK. I’ve emailed the NSLC about this several times after they stopped carrying Newcastle Brown, Boddingtons, Murphy’s Irish, etc. Will be coming back to Bishop’s Cellar for more of this
