DuClaw Euphoria

arundel mills - i loved this beer. deep bronze body and a ton of toffee and chocolate coming off..not a lot of head, but the flavor basically reminded me of drinking a heath bar (which is one of my favorite candy bars, hence, i loved this beer). very light body, i could have drank this all day...the flavor that delivers for a beer that isnt very heavy is impressive.

had this last year. pretty different in terms of dark beers. it’s definitely a brown ale, but the flavor and aroma were almost like a Werther’s Original drop. Tons of caramel, toffee and nuttiness but very sweet. kinda like a gourmet beer.

On tap at Bowie location. Poured out a dark brown, not as dark as Guinness, but not far off either. Thin off white head faded quickly. Aromas are of burnt sugar, toffee, some caramel, slight hops. Flavors are of sweet malts, some sugars, earthy hops. Medium mouthfeel, decent body, but a little thinnish. Somewhat sweet aftertaste. OK take on the style.

Draft at Fell’s Point. Poured dark trasparent brown with a small beige head. Aroma is of toffee and burn’t caramel. Taste is of the same with hints of nuts and overall a tad roasty. The beginning was not so good, but the finish was nice.

On tap at the Belair location. Color was more bronze than brown, but still pleasing. Nice thick head and lasted. Extremely sweet nose, nice mouthfeel. The caramel/toffe-sweet flavor was a bit much for me. I liked it, but did not have a second one.

Arundel Mills location. Clear, rustic and dark orange appearance. Clean, crystal heavy aroma with lots of grapefruit and orange presence beneath it; caramel, burnt sugars, lemonade with sugary vibes. Some whiskey, lively hops, maple syrup, and bright toffee tones of flavor. Bitterness weighs in with iced tea and sugarless caramel syrup; plenty of sweetness and sticky texture with a heavy-handed tone. Slick in the mouth, leaving a coating of generic, earthen dark sugars. Reasonably well done, though not especially "brown" in disposition.

Dark brown with a nice layer of creamy head. Aroma is chocolaty, with sweet sugary caramel as well. Flavor has a slight roasted bitterness but predominantly nutty and sweet, hazelnuts come to mind. Similar to Bailey’s Irish Cream, almost. Very enjoyable and delicious. I was happy to leave with a growler for later.

Draft at Fell’s Point. The aroma of toffee, caramel, and chocolate is strong. The taste is magnificent. It is well-balanced so the toffee/chocolate flavors remain the focus. It has a mild but lingering aftertaste. It is sweet, but not overdone. I love this beer. My girlfriend says "it tastes like a pretzel." I have no idea what she is talking about.
