Brown Bear India Brown Ale 6.3% ABV
From 4/3/13 tasting notes. Enjoyed on tap after dinner. Arrived in tulip style pint glass. Served chilled.
A) A nice rich brown brew with a good finger of a tan colored head. Excellent retention on the head and ample lacing. Looks tasty...
S) Dark malt, roast, a little nutty, not too sweet. Actually, this was really piney with a hint of citrus.
T) Follows the nose... This packed a lot of flavor. The brown ale base was there, with deliciously piney hops. This really reminded me of a Black IPA. Nice aftertaste...
M) Medium body with pretty lively carbonation. A piney tingle coated my mouth.
O) Perhaps this was a variation of the regular Brown Bear??? The hops utilized in this brew was very enjoyable. I would definitely order this one again. Glad to recommend.

Mahogony brown beer with a light tan head. Rich malt aroma. Caramel malt flavor with light frutiiness. Medium bodied. Caramel malt lingers with a bit of dark fruit. This is definitely one of the better brews at Rock Bottom in Bethesda, MD. Highly recommended.

Reviewed from notes. On tap at the Rock Bottom in Bethesda, MD.
Pours a moderate brown color with some caramel coloring to it. The nose brings forward a moderate amount of sweet malt and a tad bit of brown sugar. Some light fruits and toffee there as well. Hints of roasted smoke. Good flavor with some sugary sweetness and some roast. Moderate body with lower levels of carbonation. Pretty good flavors but nothing really carrying them through.
