Called an "American Strong Ale" on BeerAdvocate, 7.7% a.b.v. Typical Lagunitas nonsense on the label, the copy on the side of this one being a mash-up of various movie quotes. First tasted it in a bottle last June, and those notes begin...now:
Clearish, deepish brown, with crimson highlights, big, booming, cocoa-tan head, lace-leaving.
Caramel and cream aroma, smooth, and slightly sweet. a little nutty.
Taste: sweet, malty, nutty, caramel and toffee over all, nicely hopped, just keeps on top of the malt....actually, quite delicious. Well-rounded, nicely balanced, ...I'd like a fuller body, but, you can't win 'em all.
For a strong, smooth, and tasty brown ale, this hits the spot.
