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.

I don’t understand the negative ratings. This is one of my favorite browns ever. Mouthfeel is creamy and sweet. Very nice biscuity, doughy, malt flavors as well.

Pours a brownish amber color w/ medium sized semi creamy froth. Froth reduces at a moderate pace to a dusty canopy w/ spattered islands. Aroma is slightly roasted w/ malts. Medium nectar w/ ample residual effers. A mellow roasted brown w/ a clean palate. Flavors are lightly roasted w/ a defined bakers cocoa showing nicely. Finish is crisp w/ minimal souring.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a ruby brown color with a small tan head. The aroma is roasty malts and fruity hops. The flavor is roasty and toasty malts with a light floral hop presence. I am not much of a fan of the style but this was surprisingly tasty.

Very malty and smooth. Lots of carmel and smokey flavors. Roasted nut and toffee notes. Smooth but seems a bit watered down.

Not bad... although a bit sweet (not cloying) but devoid of thickness. Pours mahogany into the glass, with an initial 2-finger head that diminishes to trace lace only. The nose is of sweet and sour caramels and sourmash. The body is a bit thin for the flavors, which center around a sweet malt, hinging on toffee/caramel, hinging on brown sugar... but not really defining one thing in particular. Finish brings the slightest sour back around. Not terrible, but definitely better "after" you’ve had a couple of others to take the "rating edge" off.... lol.

Bottle. Can you say thin? This beer has a very thin body which has a rather negative impact. There are subtle aromas of nuttyness and caramel going on, the same holdsfor the flavors. However the non-existent body makes it more reminiscent of water. This beer cannot hold a candle to Moose Drool or Lost Coast Downtown Brow, a thorough disappointment.

rather boring. Brownish-red hue with a thick white head. One dimensional indeed a bland caramel prsence in the aroma and flavor not much of a hop finish. Seemed to be over carbonated.

Orange to copper color with nice tan head. Aroma is sweet caramel malts. Flavor is a little one dimensional with sweet caramel maltiness. There’s also some pale malts and a hint of maybe citrus hops.
