A flavorful brew, it would certainly be worth drinking all winter long. Odd that they don’t have separate ratings for the two styles. euserphriendly (163), Holland, Pennsylvania, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 13, 2005 Updated: Feb 21, 2008Lost Coast brewery is a master of the style, showing just what can be done with a brown ale. Deep brown, creamy head. Aroma was an unusual but inviting mix of chocolate and flowers. Flavor was an excellent, balanced blend of nuttiness, chocolate, touch of coffee, dark fruits, and floral hops. Really well done here. RERATE: 2/20/08 - Notes virtually identical, noted some additional dark fruit in the aroma. Scores the same, nice to see that this is just as solid as I first found it to be.

Dark, foamy, chocolatey, with just enough hops to keep it interesting. Kind of a molasseslike finish. joet (1709), Fulton, California, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 12, 2002 Soft resinous, pine and herbs blend deep rich roasty, smokey notes more coffee and wood than bitter cocoa. Creamy, foam-topped, and easy light medium body SPN 24. Lasting bitter finish with touches of roast. Easy drinking with herbal suggestions of spearmint in the finish. Very nice. Another tasty specimen from Lost Coast, one of my favorite brewery visits ever. argo0 (6978), Washington DC, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 29, 2003 Updated: Feb 2, 2004Rerate - changing the word "Porter" to Brown Ale everywhere. Excellent Brown Ale. Dark, ruby red, fading to black appearance. Off white, decent sized head with good lacing. Enticing aroma of cocoa, raisins and sweet coffee. Very smooth chocolate flavor for a Brown Ale with just the right amount of hop bitterness in the back end. No chalky aftertaste whatsoever. Creamy mouthfeel - one of the best domestic Brown Ales I have had to date.
