Dark brown color, with crimson highlights, under a toasted tan head, leaving lace. Nice.
In the nose: largely malty, rich, warm, lush. Slightly bittersweet, roasty-toasty. Dark fruits. Decadence.
In the mouth: Big malt. Tasty. Coffee flavor is in here, but not dominate, mixing well with the malt and sugar. Reading the label is see that it's Brown Angel with coffee, and a little more booze in it. I'm getting the oats now, and the grassy/citric hop nature of Brown Angel returns to the palate. I don't seem to recall if the original BA had oatmeal as well, but it's definitely coming through here. Brown sugar, molasses, and more coffee. So nice.
This is a good one, and I'm really enjoying it. Very smooth and comforting. Relaxing, luxurious, and invigorating, all at once.
It's also the first part of my correcting the mistake of having only reviewed 10 Clown Shoes beers in the past 7 years. That's way too low. Way, way too low.
A Clown Shoes legend, Brown Angel put away her dancing shoes to focus on extracting espresso, brewing coffee and pouring latte art with zen-like focus. The Barista Breakfast Brown is crafted with Maris Otter malt, flaked oatmeal, cold brewed espresso, milk sugar and the spirit of angel wings.
