Draft in San Clemente. A deep red beer with a thin tan head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with notes of nuts and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet malty - roasted malt, and a light note of soy sauce. The body is thin.

From tap at San Clemente. Solid roasted malt and coffee. Flavour is hardroasted malt which gives a slight watery finish at first but as the flavours build up the roasted malt gives a steady nice acidic roasted bitterness. Nicely dry and somewhat coffeeish finish.

On tap (From Jan 2008). Nothing special about the aroma, but the malt taste is great. Undertones of caramel and a slight hint of chocolate mixed with great roast malt flavor. Another solid brew from Pizza port

On tap at Port Brewing. Light brown ale alroma that cries of light malt. Semi sweet but not cloying. Not much bitter but pleasant. A good roasted malt flavor. Solid palate just a tad thin but not bad. Carbonation is good as well. I like that as you roll your tongue around in your mouth it wakes up some bitter. A very good brown ale for me.

Just to be confusing, there’s a Dawn Patrol Mild at 3.7% and this is the Dawn Patrol Brown at 4.5% Tasty roasty nutty brown pour. A very good session beer. had it on tap at Pizza Port San Clemente
