Pompous Ass Brown Ale
22oz bomber from a friend who lives in San Diego. Appearance (3.5): Ruby brown with red edges. A finger of cream head reduces to a mostly covering thin layer and a ring. Aroma (2.5): Kind of a scotch style nose with some crystal and maybe Munich. Definitely a diverse malt bill with mostly toasty, caramel smells dominating. Taste (3.5): More of the same from the nose. Pretty malty with caramel and some scotch flavors. A fruity plum or apricot - dark fruit - complements the big malt flavors. Mouthfeel (3): Fairly slick and smooth. Medium body and medium to low carbonation. Overall (3): Just OK but I'm not that familiar with this style. The maltiness is interesting but it's just not something I would crave. Drinkability is somewhat low, a sipper.
