Samuel Adams Brown Ale
Poured from a 12 oz bottle into nonic pint glass. A - Clear, dark brown with 2-3 fingers of light tan head. Decent retention before falling to a thick cap. Moderate to high lacing. S - Toasty aroma, bready, with a hint of sweet caramel. Roasted nuts as well. T - A touch of sweetness at first, and then the toasted/burnt bread flavor takes hold briefly. Finish is rather clean aside from a mineral-like, burnt, bitterness. M - Smooth, medium bodied, with moderate to low carbonation. D - A decent session ale apart from the lingering and slightly unpleasant bitter aftertaste. Quite simple overall, but tasty nonetheless.
