Left Hand Deep Cover Brown Ale

Brewed by Left Hand Brewing Co.
Style: Brown Ale
Longmont, Colorado USA

Clear muted red with a thin head. LIghtly sweet and nutty aroma. Caramel and mild cocoa flavor. Little hop flavor and low bitterness. Finishes fast. Fairly non descript. Theres nothing overtly wrong with the beer but one wonders what the purpose of it is.

Poured a deep red/brown with an attractive light tan head about half an inch thick that stayed around and left a nice lacing. I loved the aroma, but recognize that it’s definitely a personal thing - chocolate, caramel, and molasses. Malt was dominant in the taste, with cocoa, caramel and nuttiness. Nice full body with pleasant aftertaste. A very nice surprise from the beer club.

The only brown ale I have really liked. Pours a nice almost golden brown color, yeasty aroma. Flavor is maltier than most brown ales, a little sweet.

A light golden brown pour from a bottle into a pilsner glass. Light carmel smell but an unsatisfying follow through. The finish was nice though as it held up and ended much better than it started.

Bottle. Pours copper/brown, with a generous tan head that fades to a half-inch. Sweet malty aroma, with obvious caramel and vanilla leaves me anticipating this beer. The taste doesn’t disappoint. Very sweet, with a chocolate, caramel and vanilla flavor that reminds me of a cream soda. Very impressive for such a sweet beer. It balances a sweetness with a fizzy, live mouth feel.

I’m really surprised by the overall low rating this beer has received. While it’s not as "dark tasting" as I was expecting it did deliver on taste, appearance and flavor. Part of my beer a month selection this is better than the Otter Creek Pale Ale I rated earlier today. I’d drink this again. It had a nice aroma, a sweet chocolate cherry taste, good carbonation

Pours a clear thin brown with mildly off-white small head. Nose is slightly roasty, sweet, nutty, and with a note of chocolate. Very similar wooden, pine hop profile to the sawtooth ale, in fact I wouldn’t be surprised if it were the same recipe with toasted malts added. Thin and fizzy on the palate. Finishes sweet, hardly any bitterness to perk the palate up. Not so great.

Bottle. Brownish-red pour with head trace. Aroma is nutty roasted malt with a little hops. Flavor is strong lightly roasted malt with a touch of caramel.... a bit watery.
