Brother Thelonious is a cloudy, brown ale with a thin, dense, sand colored head that leaves nice lacing on the glass. It has a big, fruity aroma with notes of prunes, figs, raisins, cherries, candy, brown sugar and cookies. It's pretty full bodied but a little sharp to the tongue. It leaves the mouth a little numb and gritty. It kind of tastes like fruit cake, but not so sweet. Plum and molasses are detected. There a light bitterness at the finish. There's quite a bit of flavor here and the fruitiness lingers well after the swallow. It's pretty tasty stuff.

4.51/5 rDev +19.6%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

Appearance: Ruby-brown-maroon..almost purple in a way. Full-bodied. Very unique.

Smell: Plums, raisins, and licorice. Fairly sweet, but some pine as well.

Taste/Mouthfeel: Incredible flavor. Tons of licorice...not a flavor I particularly love, which makes this even more incredible. Thick body, but goes down smoothly with great yeasty carbonation.

Overall Drinkability: I loved this beer. Really surprised it isn't rated higher.
