Grand Lake Wooly Booger

12 oz bottle in pint glass. Pours a DARK brown with a small tan head. Looks more like a Porter than your typical Brown Ale. Aroma is mainly chocolate, just like a Tootsie Roll. Flavor is really good, chocolate, mocha, and nuts. Palate is medium bodied, and fairly smooth. Finishes just a touch dry. Overall this is a very good, highly drinkable Brown Ale. I’ll certainly put some in the fridge.

Bottle: Deep and dark brown with a creamy head. Full, chewy texture (sounds like it’s drastically improved from the tap version). Rather tasty malt flavors had a lot of wholesome, earthy flavors. Chocolate, nuts, caramel and milky sweetness. A mild, grassy bitterness follows through. Finish is nice, and it begs you to take another sip. Pretty good brown.

Bottle poured a clear dark mahogany with a small lasting tan head. Aromas of chocolate, carmel, nuts and toasted malt. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of cocoa, nuts, toasted malt, light carmel and a hint of vanilla with a smooth lingering bittersweet finish.

On tap at brewpub. Slight malty aroma, a little bit of caramel. Dark brown, medium to light body. Slight head. Light nut taste, but not much. A little bit light on the taste - could have been a bit bolder in flavor, but not bad.

Growler from brewery, pours dark brown with a thin light tan head. Smells sweet with hints of caramel. A fairly thin brown ale; nothing special, a little sweet, but overall drinkable. I am being forced to note that my wife likes it since it is mild and understated, but rating reflects my thoughts.
