Samuel Adams Brown Ale
Poured from a bottle into a glass, maybe a little colder than I usually like. The head formed nicely, thick, 2 fingers and quickly dissipated into a white ribbon. The color is deep, dark red. Smell is definitely sweet and malty. Maybe a trace of fruit, musky, earthy. Taste is heavy on the hops, not as big of an ale as I would expect in this class. Mouthfeel is thin, runny, oily. It has a sweet taste dissolving into tannic. I note a trace of diethyl taste. I was much less than impressed. I expected a nice full beer and what I found was a weak, overly hopped beer. I wouldn't drink another.
