Bomber from the Woodland CostCo. Pours brown with a large creamy/foamy tan head. Aroma is rather spicy coffee. Med body or better. Flavor is lightly spicy coffee, some smooth roasted malt, and maybe a touch of something like citrus. There’s a bitterness that even burns a bit. Not dry, but the bitterness is enough to make that tolerable. Browns not my fave, but this one is good enough to be a fave.

Bottle at home. It pours a dark brown/amber color with a frothy, khaki head. The aroma has strong roasted coffee without much malt character. Maybe some light toast. The flavor is also very strong with coffee with a hint of syrup and peppery bitterness. A little dark fruit. Good, not great.

Tap. Copper color with tan ring. Aroma is aromatic coffee, dark malts. Taste is coffee, coffee, coffee. Medium soft carbonation, soft oily mouthfeel. Great beer, but one-dimensional. The coffee is very prominent. But then again, Brown Ale is a subtle style, so when you load it with coffee, you’re gonna load it with coffee.
