When I saw this beer listed at the festival, I was hoping that it had a touch of the wild to it, but no such luck. It pours a dark brown with vitually no head, smells faintly of roasted malts, and tastes of chocolate and burnt malt. I’ve got to figure that it was named after someone named Brett...

NotLA III, a dude name Brett should never have a beer named after him. It’s just false advertising and it pissed me off. a pretty crappy brown too.

NotLA. like cornfield, and a couple other people i met at the festival, i was expecting and hoping for bret. no such luck. in fact, i stopped paying much attention after i realized it was just a smoky brown ale.
