Sunday Sips: Downtown Brown

Beer Name:  Downtown Brown

Brewed By/In: Lost Coast Brewery / Eureka, CA

ABV:  5.0%

Best Served In:  The bottle

Characteristics:  Nutty aromas seep from the bottle.  Once on the palate,the flavors follow the smell - nutty, roasted coffee, almost-like-chocolate goodness.  Full-flowing mouthfeel yet neither very hoppy nor bitter.

Food-pairing:  Pan-seared scallops, light/white dessert

Overall:  7.5 - Although an easy-drinking and dark, this American Brown Ale filled me with only one bottle down.  Long Coast Brewery has a warm, comforting taste.  No wonder, considering the brewery was started by 2 extraordinary women.

My brothers and I sipped our brews while enjoying an wondrous night of Mario Party 6 mini-games and laughter.  So let's raise a glass to a basking in a true bro-mance!
