Brown Beers are the descendants of the ancient English ales featuring toasted and/or roasted malts and hopping that varies from light to fairly bitter. Slanted Rock’s Silhouette Dark Ale is a lightly hopped, medium-bodied beer with a smooth subtle finish without any lingering bitterness. Dark Brown in color with a light tan head, this beer features a big, malty aroma with a classic English character. It has a slight burnt sugar, cocoa and woody aromas, medium-bodied mouthfeel with subtle toffee sweetness, balanced by smooth hop finish.

Level 42 bottleshare. Santa is flying past and below! Thanks to Colin for the can. Clear deep amber beer, thin pale tan head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, decent carbonation. The dark malts are quite smooth and a little tangy. Mild dark fruits. Spicy pine hops. Slightly dry finish, spicy linger. Perfectly decent CDA.

Can from Trader Joes. Half porter, half brown. Nice looking pour, dark clear brown with soft creamy beige head. Curtains of lacing remain. Aroma is semi-sweet chocolate first, hinting at some roast grains in the background. Smooth, slick, silky body, more chocolate in the taste, some roast grain / coffee sharp bitterness. Almost dry finish, mostly lingering bitterness.
