DuClaw Euphoria

Brewed by DuClaw Brewing Company
Style: Brown Ale
Abingdon, Maryland USA

Draft at the Bowie location. A dark amber beer with a thin light brown head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of butterscotch, but also light notes of caramel. The flavor is very sweet again with notes of butterscotch and caramel, but also with notes of raisins and a coffee liquor like Kahlua.

(Bowie) Clear copper body with an off-white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, toffee, some chocolate. Taste is sweet, toffee/butterscotch, chocolate, light nut. Light-medium body with light stickiness. I found this too sweet to be wholly enjoyable.

Growler... Clear, Longhorn-orange ale with a large, fizzy, off-white head. The nose is a swirl of vanilla, gingerbread, deeply roasted cashews and almonds, chocolate, caramel and toffee. The flavor is well-balanced, although it does lean slightly toward the sweet side. Big caramel, toffee and roasted almonds cling to a slender malt backbone. Light to medium-bodied with a skim-milk mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Thin, watery finish. Kudos ring out to scraff for sending the growler!

Draught @ DuClaw Bowie Called "Eu4ia" or something equally clever. Brown amber, light head and lacing. Nose of toffee, raspberry, caramel, irish cofee, kaluah. The flavor is super malty, chewy, caramel, coffee, toffee, sweet. No hops. Rich sassafrass roast. Finishes sweet, creamy, maple, coffee. Licorice? Bonus points for unique, but a bit off my taste preference.

Draft @ Arundel Mills location. Pours a brilliant, dark ruby-orange color; white head with fine-bubbled lacing. Light toffee and nougat in the aroma. Lively, sharp carbonation at the tip of the tongue; chewy, dried fruits and toasty malts upfront, with a chewy, nougaty presence mid-palate; slightly nutty. Medium, dry nutty finish.

Dark copper brown. Nice hue. Faily big aroma of vanilla, mocha and toffee. Really pleasant. But perhaps not for those who don’t like sweet beers. Pretty good dessert beer.

Deep brownish red, thin creamy white head. As it warmed, rich tones of toffee nut crunch coffee combine with mellowed butterscotch and chocolate. Maybe even hints of hazelnut perhaps. Flavor matched the nose with more toffee brittle, butterscotch notes, and hints of nutty coffee. Loads of these flavors, but without any major sweetness. Great drinkability at 4.8%. Light bodied, soft carbonation, rich, dry, malty finish. I could put a straw in the growler and go to town....
