Samuel Adams Brown Ale
solid color: reddish mahogany with an amber frame. tight, persistent head, as well (i wish it would go away, actually) sweet, roasty malt aromas. sort of an extension of the scents i would expect from an esb. not a big bouquet but nice. woody, blackcurrant hops strong bitterness for an EBA and weak on the palate. a continuation of what my nose detected in terms of flavors matching up with scents, although it really isn't all that sweet, some certainly more kilned flavors lurk along the faint bready character in my opinion, an english brown ale is a good opportunity to catch the affinities of good beer drinkers but the execution here is disappointing
