Thanks to John M. for bringing this one back from Florida.
Poured into a wine goblet

Appearance: Rich, dark brown with bits of reddish hue, 1/2 finger head that quickly dissipates

Smell: Robust; chocolate and malt with brown sugar

Taste: Same as smell with even more complexity. Coffee, malt, chocolate, brown sugar. Ooh, this is a good sipper. Slightly bitter hoppy finish that makes it all worthwhile.

Mouthfeel: medium, with that fine brown sugar coating.

Overall: One of the better brown ales I've had. Wish I had access to more DFH brews. Well deserving of its praise.

Serving type: bottle

I love brown ales and IPA's and this beer does a great job of blending the two. The smell and taste are more brown ale and the mouthfeel and hops are more of an IPA. Good ABV at 7.2% and the caramelized sugar and roasted taste give it a great balance. This is one of my favorite Dogfishhead beers and if you like brown ales and IPA's, it will be yours too.
