North Coast Brother Thelonious

Bottle. Light tan head that laces with a golden amber body. Smells of brown sugar and some hops. Tastes like plastic with some prune and brown sugar.

Honey baked biscuit, brown sugar, and caramel malt pour out of a mahogany body with hints of garnet. Fluffy khaki head left only minimal residue. Flavor is belgian yeast, toffee, and a little dark fruit. Alcohol is invisible and carbonation just enough to ignite the taste buds. A pretty good, readily available brew.

Bottle. Pours brown with small buff head. Aroma is malty and fruity. Nougat, butterscotch, caramel, banana and plums. Big frothy body, quite sweet and malty. Bananas and some phenols. Overall malty sweet with typical esthers and phenols, but laidback and discreet.

<b>Bottle 355ml.</b>

Draught at Eni-bru in Osaka. Raisins, dried fruits, sherry, big caramel, and alcohol. Sweet and gets a bit too cloying through the class, probably better ages in the big bottle. Still quite impressive.

aroma is malty, burnt fruit, prune. Pours a ruby brown, clear, with off-tan head. Sweet, with raisin, prune and licorice. Alcoholy finish.

750 bottle poured into chalice. Not much in the head retention department but the flavor makes up for it. Malty with raisen and grape with a nice barrel flavor to it. Smooth but it’s got a little plastic flavor which ain’t too good.

Bottle and draft. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Sweet caramel malts, light belgain yest, citrus pine and a light alcohol warming. eh.
