Mar 28, 2009 Bought from the cheap isle. Like it. A very smooth drink, good dark carmel and molassas flavor, but some actual citrus in the hops. The alcohol and carbonation somehow makes the sweetness seem natural.

Mar 26, 2009 12oz. bottle, pours copper red, aroma is sugary sweet, taste is light sugar, the brown sugar character is evident, finidh is light, crisp, small sweet aftertaste. A good beer, but I felt like there was little difference in the taste profile between this and the undercover shutdown ale.

Mar 25, 2009 Lagunitas Brown Shugga’ is a very clear amber ale with a thin sand-colored head that fades. It has a malty, somewhat medicinal, aroma. It is medium bodied; smooth and syrupy with a sticky finish. It’s sweet on the lips and then becomes pretty bitter. There is a wood resin flavor present. The finish is long and boozy. I think I expected something sweeter and more malt-focused, but this is OK.

Mar 19, 2009 Pours a brownish red with an inch of off-white head. Sweet sugary aroma with a little grassy hops. Taste is very similar to the smell except the grassiness stands out a little more. Medium thickness and medium/high carbonation. This is tasty.

Mar 18, 2009 Reddish-brown pour with a tan head. Aroma of hops and some sweetness. Taste is malt, sweetness, but the sweetness goes away to a dry malt taste in my mouth. Alcohol is not noticeable, but there is some warmth in the aftertaste. Head went away but left a small trace of lace.

Mar 14, 2009 it looks like orange cream soda
aroma is like candied fruit and grass
not too heavy for a barleywine
taste is more bitter, alcohol and hoppy finish mostly
extra carbonation lightens it up a bit

Mar 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours clear dark copper with a small bubbly beige head. Nose is hoppy overripe orange, brown sugar, sweet potato, a little alcohol. Tastes much the same, but the alcohol isn’t much more than a pleasant warmth. Mouthfeel is thick and sticky and finish is long with a nice citrus hop bitterness and subtle brown sugar.
