Nov 15, 2009 From the tap in San Diego. Pours a very dark brown with red hues. Thick creamy tan head. Very nice roasted malt aroma. Taste is roasted malt, chocolate, and caramel. A bit light for a nut brown but very drinkable.

Feb 10, 2009 On tap at RB SD. Color was a lightly reddish brown. Aroma of brown malt, caramel, cocoa and coffee. Pretty tasty for the style, although I am coming to appreciate this style more and more. Flavor of earthy, caramel, coffee and cocoa. Nice sessionable beer.

Apr 2, 2008 A light nut aroma. This is nice. Not too nutty but with a hop bite coming through near the end. A good beer of a style I’m not particulary fond of.

Mar 27, 2008 Sweet and bitter, a smooth connection between the malt and the hops. It doesn’t strike me as a great brown ale but it is an interesting beer. Brown in color, highly carbonated, and sweet.

Jul 26, 2007 Draft at the San Diego brewpub. The chalk board put the alcohol at 5.6. Nutty dark malt aroma. Clear deep brown color with a creamy beige head. Thin to medium bodied; moderate, almost creamy, carbonation. Strong dark malt with light sour notes. Willamette hops. Finish is less than dry, and reasonbaly balanced. Final finish impact is dark roast malt with light hop.

Feb 14, 2007 The appearance was quite impressive. Great lacing and amazing light brown head that was fully diminishing. The Coronado had a light brown/dark amber murky body. The nose didn’t detect anything special other than a light malty aroma. Initially light bitter moving into a moderately bitter taste for an average duration. Light to medium body with soft carbonation and a watery texture on the palate. One of the highest scoring beers, it wasn’t great --- it was all right. Tastier than the red, but needed more body and flavor.
At the end of the 8 beer sampler, there wasn’t a single beer that Sean wanted to drink a pint of. It was quite depressing
