Lost Coast Downtown Brown

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

Pours deep amber-ish brown with thin tan head. The aroma is light with some stale malts and roasty malts. The taste is roasty – toasty and malty with a thin layer of malt astringency. I also get toffee and mild molasses. A roasty toastiness really lingers into the finish and beyond. There is a faint stale graininess that rides well below the other flavors.

Small tan head thats short lived. A bit of stringy lace. Clear dark brown/chestnut color, red hued. A bit dark for a brown. Light roasty nose. Medium body. Subdued maltiness with hints of chocolate, roast and a touch of vanilla. Dry finish. Thanks ron!

Pours out in a clear brown colour with a low tan coloured head. Strong and clean aroma of nuts, almonds, crackers and roasted malts. Medium-bodied with notes of roasted malts, almonds, caramel and roasted nuts. Roasted aftertaste of almonds, fudge, toasted malts and nut-shells. For what it is, i’s quite tasty.

I was left hanging by this brew. It seemed very empty and missing something. Not enough malt. It seemed as if it was a light brown ale. That cant be right. I tried this at the Yard House among others. I dont think that I would go out of my way for this. Maybe Lost Coast should retool this or maybe its just me.

Slightly better than average brown ale. Smooth and crisp, like the other Lost Coasts that I tried, but nothing extra special. On the lighter side, good for daytime, etc. Sweet honey-sugary, nutty flavor with slight hop aftertaste. Pours dark brown with light carbonation, not too much head. Worth the try, but may go with the competition next time I go try a Brown Ale.

I like colorful labels. And this one is a draw. A deep, semi opaque mahogany colored beer. Small head that dissipates quickly. There is nothing in the aroma or taste that jumps out at me and says a ‘GREAT BEER. Some light malt in the aroma and in the taste. Not much else. What was impressive was the creaminess in the body, I’ve had far better Brown Ales than this one.

This is pretty tasty brown ale. Nice difference from Newcastle Brown, which is on my personal favorites, hoppier than Newcastle. I would buy it again, not necessarily right away.

pretty smooth, on par with Moose drool flavor-wise, but a little lighter in body, more like a Samuel Smith's. A solid effort, but not worth going out of your way for.
