Just recently the Bogota Beer Company launched another (though not seasonal) brown ale as a mi-point between a red ale and the porter, which seemed a bit rough for the people to get used to.
I'm not a huge fan of brown ales. The pour is dark reddish with a watery transparence, a syrupy consistence and a rather small head that leaves but a bit of lacing along the sides.
The smell is hoppy above all, a slight roasted character can be felt but it's very subtle.
The taste....I was a bit let down. It's a rather watered down version of the porter, where you can feel the same roast grain feel with a hoppy end that evokes a bitter, only that this all lays beyond a curtain of water. no big tones, obviously trying to draw the crowd of unaccustomed colombians into the bigger beers.
As a bait? of course, and I would hope it works. but as my session beer I think I will continue to stick to the porter.
