Had this at the Thompson brewpub in Salem. A new brewer had taken over ( Jenn), I went with a sad heart, because the brewer before had been able to do a few of his own creations and I was afraid the new brewer would be strictly McMenamins. But wow she had already her own "Coffee Brown" only at this location. Hazy/murky dark brown ale, small light tan head . The aroma is mainlly malty tones with a light coffee tinge. Taste starts with lightly sweet malts, light hopping and a nice hint of esspresso coffee which does not overwhelm ,only helps the brown. Mouthfeel is good for the style, medium dry finish. Overall a nice brown with encouraging hints of coffee. Well done!
