Brown Bird poured a deep brown color with a fingr width, off white head.  The aroma was malty with underlying hops and coffee notes.  The body was smooth with a velvety mouthfeel.  There is some chocolate up front, a light sweetness throughout, and coffee notes on the end.  The finish is a little underwhelming, leaving just a light dryness on the palate.  The beer left lots of hanging lace on the glass.  Overall, this is a really great sessional beer.  It is easy drinking and very good up front but nothing really jumps out and wows me like some of the other beers from Captain Lawrence.  This is worth a try nonetheless.        

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
