Got them fancy clothes. Got that big car, suicide doors, 8 track stereo, color TV's. Livin' the American dream, now you've got a brew as smooth as chorus from Al Green. Brash Brewing and Clown Shoes each made a brown ale at Mercury, then blended them. You don't have to have solid gold pants to enjoy... but it helps.

Pimp pours a very dark brown, almost black into the glass. A small tan head forms on top and quickly fades away. Only a few spots of lace cling to the sides.
The aroma is not very strong. Dark malts, brown sugar chocolate and a touch of dark fruit are present.
Each sip of this medium bodied beer is smooth, soft and velvety with mild carbonation. The flavor is rich with notes of chocolate, dark fruit (raisin, strawberry), a touch of roast malt and a hint of smoke. It finishes moderately bitter with a touch of grassy hops. Once gone the chocolate and bitterness linger on the palate.
This is a tasty beer that's leans a little to the porter side. It's very drinkable and hides the 10% abv very well.

Bottled 5/2012. Dark chocolate malt, earthy, toffee and a bit of dark fruit. Some oxidation. Medium, dry finish. Not much sweetness to this. Can hardly taste the alcohol but it's warming my chest. Not bad, but probably should have drank this sooner.

Tastes more like a stout than a brown. Good but not great.
