You can pass user-agent from express to jade : (see here)

app.get('/index', function(req, res){
    res.render('home.jade', {
    locals: {
            useragent: req.getHeader('User-Agent')
            }
    });
    res.end();
});

in your jade file

html
  body
    h1 #{useragent}
script(type='text/javascript')
  var useragent = #{useragent};
