Strong Rope's award winning Brown Ale, this beer is all about updating a classic American style. Centennial hops and Rye take this chocolatey and toasty ale to the next level of goodness. While the beer has a bit of residual sweetness from the low attenuating yeast used, the hops, rye and darker malts balance out that sweetness making a supremely drinkable and tasty Brown Ale. Named after an imaginary childhood friend of Eric, there is nothing imaginary about the robust flavors and aromas that come through in this wonderful beer.

Poured from a can (no date, purchased at the brewery a couple days ago) into a nonic pint glass
L: ice coffee/Coca-Cola brown, with a very thick tan head that stuck around for a while. Accompanying great tan lacing
S: iced coffee aroma, roasted malt comes through very well, darker bread, somewhat spicy, bitter
T: great bitter roast flavor, chocolate, coffee, spicy. Little bit of sweetness mixed in with that bitter note, very drinkable, medium-long finish
F: medium-light body, medium carbonation, again very drinkable, somewhat drying
O: a very flavorful brown ale, serves as a reminder of the variety of styles I enjoy but rarely have
