Sep 7, 2008 My Bottom Line:
This frail Brown Ale’s earthy and caramel sweetness is quickly spun into citrusy, lactic tartness, veering away from any semblance of a sessionable malty brew. This bottled batch is highly problematic.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A slice of foam tops the coppery brown.
-That earthiness in the nose is redolent of forest mushrooms.
-The finish is vacuous; neither the malts or the infection stay very long.
-The body is on the anemic side of things, but that might be caused by whatever’s awry with this batch.

Aug 1, 2008 Bomber. Pours clear reddish brown with a lacy off-white head. Aroma of chocolate, brown sugar and dust. Lightly sweet chocolate and roasted nut flavor with a sour finish. Looks like BitterRoot might have an infection problem on it’s hands with this one.

May 31, 2008 A dark brown color with a moderate white head. The aroma contains some nutmeg, toffee, and chocolate. The flavor is slightly sour with some caramel and a nutty chocolate flavor. Overall browns can be boring, this is definitley in that category.

May 24, 2008 Pours a transparent copper amber with a thin, stringy-lacing light tan head. Aroma of lightly sweet toasty malts and a touch of infected tartness. Starts fizzy and effervescent with some vinegar notes and lightly milk chocolatey notes before a drier finish. This seems to be in the early stages of infection, but is still tolerable now.
