Commercial Description:
Deep Cover Brown Ale is brewed in the tradition of the brown ales commonly enjoyed in the U.K. Despite its reddish-brown color, it is light bodied and slightly sweet, making it a very drinkable and refreshing brew. Dark caramel malts lend this ale its rich color, while toasted and Munich malts provide just enough body to be truly enjoyable.

BOTM Club, Honey brown colored, light white head that dissipated fast. Not much of an aroma to speak of. I expected a stronger flavor but it was kind of bland. A little nutty, all in all a good taste, I was just expecting more.

Pours transparent mahogany color, small tan head dissipates quickly. Nondescript malt. Plain and harmless, but nothing stands out here.

nice brown color, thin tan head, nutty malty, somewhat chocolatey aroma. flavor is essentially the same. for a brown ale, this isn’t too bad.

Pretty decent brown ale, seems to be going for a hybrid of the slightly hopped American style and a more traditional English version. Very faint aroma, with some caramel detectable. Trace of nutty flavors and a slight sharp hop presence in the brew. But overall it’s pretty anonymous.

A very mild brown. Nice color with a big head. Flavor is malty with some hops. Aroma is bread like. Not great. Not bad.

Pours brown with offwhite head. Roasted nut flavor is there but very weak. Not a great brown ale.

Brown pour into dimpled mug. Aroma is slightly roasty with hint of dark caramel. I’m typically not a fan of brown ales, but this one mildly surprised me. Still not exactly a big taste winner though. The toasted flavor is muted enough and doesn’t overwhelm the senses. Malt is present but not cloying. Finish is compact and purposeful. It still won’t be one I’ll actively search for again.

Bottle. Amber brown pour with thin off white head. Aroma of caramel and nuts. Taste of malt and caramel. Pretty thin finish. Not terrible, but not great either.
