Feb 7, 2005 Good chocolate color with a rich, thick head. The hops were just enough to give the beer a subtle spiciness to it. finished well.

Feb 6, 2005 2004 offering. Paid $1.49 for a 12-oz single at Whole Foods in Charlottesville, VA. Deep brown with a small head. Smells dusty... yea, dusty... with a hint of toffee. Flavor is burnt something... nothing special here. Not too malty, which is nice, but... ordinary.

Feb 1, 2005 Pours with a dark brown body with red tinting, topped by a thick, off-white head with nice lacing. The aroma and flavor are slightly sweet yet slightly bitter with a nice touch of rasted coffee and a touch of caramel. Medium to full bodied and a touch dry.

Jan 31, 2005 Draught. Sweet, spicey stoutish aroma. Almost fully opaque. Brownish, reddish with a large tan head. Fine bubble head. A little darker head than Guinness but similar in appearance. Excellent, fine lace! I want to give it more points for appearance. First sip made me shudder. Improved as my palate got used to it. Still, a little sloppy. Old draught lines? Tastes somewhat high in alcohol. But only 6.5%. Good spice. Definitely a holiday brew mouthfeel. A little tough on the pallate. Bourbon cask notes? Was my last of 5 brews on the evening. Didn’t really enjoy it. Kind of hurt my stomach.

Jan 25, 2005 Bottle: Deep brown color with a hint of ruby and a small light tan dimishing thead. Aroma is sweet and lightly spicy. Flavor starts nutty with a hint of cocoa then a little hop spiciness and a tangy dry finish. Modestly creamy palate. An interesting brew.

Jan 23, 2005 This is like a spiced version of the downtown brown. Poursa deep brown hue with a small white head. Aromas of malts, spice, pepper, and brown sugar, Flavors of spiced/sweetness, cocoa, honey, and nuts. A very nice spice that isn’t overdone.

Jan 19, 2005 After reading the description, I’d say this one tastes like a cross between a porter and a brown ale. Either way, it’s pretty good. Nice color and flavor. I’m definitely becoming a big fan of Lost Coast - and they have some very cool labels to add to my collection.
