Sierra Nevada Tumbler Autumn Brown Ale
A: Pours warm brown with hues of red. The generously tall and creamy tan head takes some time to sink into nice lacings. S: Dry; black coffee, dark chocolate and faint vanilla. Caramell malt, roasted, holding some sweetness. Some nuts. T: Surprisingly malty, roasted in a way that makes me think of Rauchbier; smoked ham and sausages. Rich smooth coffee and dark bitter chocolate. Hops but far from the powerful American-style as Sierra Nevada usually use; very mild citric and piney notes. Very nice. M: Body is full while carbonation is held back. Aftertaste is long and almost like what you would expect from an Espresso; bitter. O: Man, this was nice. Surprisingly enough it was made by Sierra Nevada; low on what makes American-hops American - far from what Sierra utsually puts on the market.
