Draught at the brewpub. No suprises here. Everything seemed pretty typical for you run of the mill brown ale. Hazy brown color with off white head. Aroma and flavor are nutty and roasty, but not overly so. There is a touch of hop aroma. Dry and slightly bitter at the end.

(Draft: La Jolla Brewhouse in La Jolla, CA) Lightly caramely, somewhat malty, a bit nutty with moderate roast. It’s not very sweet and hoppy bitterness is fairly mild as well. Nutty, lightly roasty nose. Dark auburn/brown color with some haze, but I can still see through the beer. Small off-white head diminishes to a ring. Overall, not really all that great a beer, but it’s not unpleasant either. It’s just a standard brown ale.

Draught at the Brewpub: Mahogany color, nose of crisp hops and a bit of bark. IPAish in character, a bit bitter and sweet in the tail with some other caramel notes. The finish is dry and unbalanced. Just another ho-hum beer from this place. Oh, did I mention they have a hip-hop DJ at the moment?

Draft at brewpub. Clear, dark brown with mahogany highlights and a tannish head - this is the best part of the brew. Somewhat nutty, roasty aroma. Decent roasty malt flavor, nice bitterness but a little harsh overall. Medium body and some carbonation. Good, but not great.
