Sep 24, 2009 Lost Coast Downtown Brown is a dark brown ale that has a shade of dim garnet. It’s crystal clear with a dense, creamy, light coffee colored head. It has excellent retention and leaves thick sheets of lacing on the glass. It has a toasty, nutty aroma with notes of roasted dark chocolate, walnut bread and a fruity grassiness. It’s medium bodied, soft and smooth with a slightly gritty finish. It’s fruity and roasty tasting. It’s chocolaty but only a hint sweet. It has nice balance and it’s a bit warming. It’s a well executed brown ale.

Aug 28, 2009 [bottle] one of the best brown ales I have had. this one is delicious. Pours a very dark brown, almost black, very little light comes through, the head was thin and light brown, and dissipated quickly, but complimented the look of teh beer nicely. Flavor is light chocolate and coffee, smells of medium roasted coffee and malts. Mouthfeel is not watery but not really thick either. finish is a little bitter, but complimentary of the aroma and taste.

Aug 2, 2009 Poured clear and dark with a thin tan head. Minimal lacing. The aroma is roasted malts and a bit of chocolate. The flavor is a decent blend of chocolate and roasted malts with faint hops on the backside. Sugary sweetness appears in the aftertaste. Thin and drinkable. Good for what it was.

Jul 29, 2009 On tap at the yard house: Smelled of cheese? Not a bad smell, but definitely a cheesy smell with the malts. Was nice deep brown and had a pleasant nutty flavor, but was very complex.
