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.

Pretty-looking brown in the glass with a nearly white half-inch of head. Aromas are brewery-ish, with a light malt. Kind of a thin palate, however, with a heavy, watery weight on the tongue. Sweet, like iced tea, with few thin nutty and caramel malts. Not enough substance to this brew.

A very dark brown ale with alot of character. Nuts have a performance all of their own in this one, as does caramel and bittersweet chocolate coming through as well. Like eating a piece of semi sweet chocolate for baking, but in beer of course. I like it, nice and creamy.

12 oz bottle. Clear light brown color with thin off white head. Malt aromas of milk chocolate and molasses. Slightly sweet. Flavor is dominated by caramel with milk chocolate and a hint of molasses. Tasty brown.

Bottle... Clear, amber ale with orange highlights and a small, creamy, off-white head. Good retention. Nutty, malty aroma with lots of milk chocolate and caramel. Lighter notes of butterscotch and red wine. Well-balanced, nutty, chocolatey flavor. Thin, but lightly creamy with fizzy carbonation. Finishes chocolatey and watery.

pretty average brown. Gets points for being a full bodied dark brown, with a heavy flavor and noticable aroma. But pretty standard everywhere else

Full size on tap, at the brewery, 4/13/06: Reddish brown. Sweet and nutty and almost chocolatey, yet with a tangy finish, sour even. Just OK.

First taste of this beer tells me somthing is not quite right. It is a nice looking brown ale being a dark tea color. There is only a small head and that doesn’t last long. The aroma is also on the thin side and is mostly malt. This beer has some type of sourness that is somewhat disturbing. It tends to dominate the flavor and is hard to get past, kind of like a sore thumb. Was glad to see the bottom of the glass with this beer.

Very thin for a brown ale, but lots of nice nutty flavors. still has that weird milk-y flavor to it that i’m not crazy about but i can get over ... half of it. very sweet, some hints of vanilla and choclate, but mostly nutty and thin on the palate end.
