Pours a reddish brown with lots of head that dissipates quickly. Comes out of the bottle well-carbonated, but mellows out a bit over time. Nose has malts and a hint of hops. The flavour is a bit weak at first, but strengthens over time, eventually becoming a nice blend of malt, banana bread, and hints of earthy hops. Overall, I was pleased.

An impressive brown ale with a nice balance between malt flavor and sweetness. On the dry side; a solid brown ale from a highly respectable brewery!

I bought a pint at Tyler's Tap House in Raleigh for $4.50. This is a great brown ale that has a nice sweet after taste. I enjoyed it so much I had 2!

Sweet, malty and smooth. Maybe too sweet

This is a solid offering from smuttnose. Nothing bad to say about it solid good brown ale. Lightly roasted malts are the key with a nice hop presence to provide balance

Nice, rich, chocolatey flavor. Not too filling.

Smutty's OBD is my goto beer for all occasions. While it's not the most extraordinary, it's definitely a crowd-pleaser. Can't think of anyone who's tried Old Brown Dog and disliked it. Flavor? It's a brown ale. But it's crisper, sharper, and sweeter than some of the others out there. Its got a round and satisfying finish. Appropriate for all occasions. Refreshing in the summer when ice cold. Warming in the winter served just cooler than room temp.
