-------- /> The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

Pours brown with a generous creamy light brown head that lasted a while. Smells of cookies, coffee and dough with nutty, fruity undertones. Tastes slightly of cherries with a buttery finish. Very nice.

2004 draft @ Periwinkles in Essex. Pours a rusty brown, mostly clear, with some copper and earthy yellow tinges to it. Some light oranges in there as well. Small beige head. Smells musty, lightly sour, somewhat bitter from hops and a hint of molasses and light brown sugar. Flavor is a mix of malt (brown sugar, light caramel) and American alpha hops (lightly bitter floral hops). Quite fresh tasting and pretty good overall, but complexity dosent quite approach the Smuttynose old brown dog, IMHO. Little fruit flavor, somewhat drowned out by hops and sweet malt, of which there is quite a bit.

(Draught) Golden brown with thin white head. Slight hops with mild malt nose. Mild malt with thin finish. Average

On tap at the brew-pub.Clear brown color with a ring of offwhite lace. Mild aroma of malt with some sweetness. Ordinary and bland flavor of malt with some sweetness.

Sea Dog Brewing is not known for challenging you with its beers, and this Gollywobbler Brown continues that tradition with mild nuttiness in the vein of a Newcastle Brown Ale clone. Somewhat watery and mild, and as forgettable as a trip to Camden, Maine.
