650 ml bottle. Pours adark red brown with a tan head that fades at a moderate pace. Aroma was light with indistinct malts. Flavor was subtle with cherries, earth, and almonds. Hops were light in a supporting role. Mouthfeel was clean with a slight film. Finish was long and slightly sweet. A vary good beer that I will drink again.

Bottle. Roasted nutty smell. Rich dark brown pour. Short lived head. Fantastic roasted taste. Wonderful and creamy on the tongue! Not too heavy or dense at all. This was a turn-around beer for me. I really enjoyed it (and did not expect to)- can’t wait to try it again.

Nothing right, nothing wrong. Nearly black, small tan head. Maybe some malt, maybe some nutty notes. Maybe not. No intensity.

The brown ale did not have as much flavor as the others I have tried. It may have been a bad batch based on other reviews. It had a good malt flavor but not very strong or complex at all.

I enjoy this brown ale from Lost Coast. Very smooth for a brown ale. I usually order this for a second or third beer.

12 oz bottle a friend brought over for dinner. Pour is brown with a khaki head. Aroma has some nice toasted malt, a touch of sweet and nutty. Taste is more of the same, a nice drinkable blend of malt, cocoa sweetness and nuttiness. Would be a nice session beer, and it was great with Brats.

Dark brown pour, with short lived, light tan bubbly head that doesn’t last. Smell is basically just nutty, and reminds me of a nut brown ale. Taste is a light coffee flavor, and nutty malt taste. Smooth body, but overall I thought it was just a very average brown ale. Easy drinking, not bad in any way, but I wouldn’t put this high on my list.

pours caramel brown with red highlights with a two finger fluffy light tan head. aroma is roasted caramel malt with a touch of hops and dark fruit. has a medium body with good lacing and carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma with some coffee. coffee lingers in the aftertaste and is a bit stronger at the end. a pretty descent brown ale. has a creamy smooth mouth-feel as well. as it warms there is a nutty flavor that comes out and the hops come out a bit more also. it is a little sticky and a lot more coffee and nutty flavor than i expected. a lot better beer than i expected!
