1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor - always nice to add a beer on BA where the style is the exact same as the brew's name!
This beer pours a clear, dark red-brick brown colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly beige head, which leaves some splendid layered and sudsy cloud form lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of lightly roasted, semi-sweet caramel malt, some oily bar-top nuttiness, a twinge of coffee-afflicted chocolate, and plain leafy, earthy, and estery floral hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale and caramel malt, muddled pome and citrus fruit flesh, a still generic and slightly buttery nutty thing, bittersweet cocoa powder, and some testy leafy, minty, and somewhat perfumed floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly understated in its gentle and unassuming frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and mostly smooth, some unheralded fruity acridity maybe taking things down a notch or two. It finishes off-dry, the malt not yet willing to pack 'er in, while the fruity and nutty esters continue to reflect both their real and symbolic meanings.
Overall, a decent enough brown ale, with the 'American' leanings of nutty and fruity hops well observed. What might be missing, IMHO, is more of that West Coast zing, a fresher citrus and pine thing, but I'm more than satisfied with how everything has turned out here, I gotta say, once again.
