Appearance is a nice mahogany with tan 1/2 inch head. Tried at the AZ Strong Beer Festival...but wish I would have used my ticket on another!!! Sweeter than expected...not of dark dried fruit but rather of "brighter" tropical varieties. These flavors shouldn’t be included in a Brown. I enjoyed the uniqueness, not the taste.

Had on tap at Brews. Pour was a cloudy and very boring light brown. Why didnt this taste like gravy? I kid...Of course. Smell was a bit of caramel and malts. Taste was malts, brown sugar, and a bit hoppier then I expected for a brown ale. There was an odd aftertaste I could not place and did not care for.

22 oz. nice firm head that recedes quickly, no lacing to speak of, coffee aroma, tastes of bitter raisin, finish tails off a little too much

At a restaurant about 500 yards from the Lagunitas Brewery which serves a different Lag. beer each month or so, I tried this last night. It was a nice redish, brown. Very malty and initially good w/an odd aftertaste I couldnt quite pinpoint. Wife liked it a bit more than I did though.

Amber pour with nice sized brown head that is quickly gone. Dried fruit and caramel on the nose. Flavor is roasty with some sweetness, yet a somewhat harsh bitterness towards the finish.

Bottle from River’s Bend. Poured clear dark brown color with a large frothy off-white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate complex caramel malt and tart fruit aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium complex balanced flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Solid drinkable beer.

22 oz. bottle. Pours a clear ruby with a medium sized, egg white head. Aroma of candy and caramel. Flavor is dominated by the malt. Sweet taste throughout. Slightest hint of hops near the end. Not the best from Lagunitas.
