DuClaw Euforia (Euphoria)

Brewed by DuClaw Brewing Company
Style: Brown Ale
Abingdon, Maryland USA

Serve in Dimpled mug

Draft. Pours deep, clear amber with and small, fizzy off-white head; decent retention and lacing. Aroma is toffee, caramel malt, and toasted pine nuts. Flavor is more subtle than expected; toffee/caramel malt heavy with very faint earthy hop undertones. Light body, medium carbonation, and low warmth.

Draft: Poured a red brown with off white colored head. Aroma was light malt. The taste is malty up front with a grassy hops back. Didn’t really get this beer really.

Euphoria is a very good brown ale when drinking it I got strong flavors of toffee and almond, very good.

Not horrible but I’m not a big fan of super sweet beers. Tastes just like it says, lots of toffee. It could also stand to be a little "thicker" and more robust.

Draft @ DuClaw, Arundel Mills location. Pours a brown color with a small off-white head. Has a roasted malty toffee caramel aroma. Roasted malty toffee flavor. Has a roasted malty toffee caramel finish.

Pours a lovely shade of chestnut with a rapidly dissipating head that leaves some lacing. I’m also getting some nuttiness on the nose. Definitely get the toffee notes as well as a touch of maple. Very rich and creamy. Finishes somewhat dry.

Poured a dark brownish-copper color with an off-white head. Aroma is slightly nutty with toffee and caramel malts. Aroma is also quite sweet. Taste is quite sweet and creamy with caramel malts and butterscotch. Some nutty and roasted flavors balance out the malty sweetness. Overall I really enjoyed this one, the creamy consistency works well.

On tap at Duclaw, Bowie on 14 July 2006. Mid brown / copper colour - quite good looking. Sweet shop confectionery, cream soda and bubblegum are prominent in the aroma and flavour. Very sweet and rather sickly. Not really my thing at all. Certainly not euphoric.
