Eastlake Mud In Your Eye Brown Ale

Eastlake Mud In Your Eye Multigrain Brown Ale.
5.5 % ABV. 33 IBU. Eastlake Craft Brewery, Minneapolis, MN.

Here's one I've had many times before, having been employed at the taproom when it was introduced.  I first mentioned it here during that time in this post.
I have a growler to review thanks to the Sample Man. Now, let's drink it.

Thoroughly brown, utterly opaque, able ring of brown foam on top.

In the nose: A little sweet, a little dry. Some toast, some roast. Nice and malty.

In the mouth: Full bodied. Smooth.  Minor hops. Malty. Nutty. Toasty. Tasty. Caramel malt with a touch of sweet, bit of bitter for balance. Quite likable. Just a solid brown ale. And there ain't nothing wrong with that.

Biscuity hazelnut races past licorice caramel on the copper cobblestone road of sweetness and leaves you in the dust. We use four different grains for a unique malt complexity of the American Brown style. The subtle floral hop presence from Willamette hops keeps the rubber side on the road. Here's mud in your eye.
