A classic from the Samuel Smith Brewery of North Yorkshire who remain a family-owned, independent brewery since 1758 and the oldest brewery in Yorkshire. They continue to brew using traditional methods including the Yorkshire Square system of fermentation.
This used to be a regular when VINTAGES was buying our beers but our General List friends can't seem to find room for it other than in a gift box coming this Xmas, however, we have a small parcel which has just arrived and is available for $75.60 per case of 24. A lot has been written about this brew over the years but the following is from the website http://www.tastings.com which is the site of the World Beer Championships which take place in Chicago.

Samuel Smith's Old Brewery Nut Brown Ale.
Full reddish-amber hue. Toasty malt and fruity, floral aromas follow through on a medium-bodied palate with chewy malt flavors and lingering earthy hop flavors. Both complex and highly quaffable.
