Beer: Brown Shugga
Style: American Strong Ale
Brewery: Lagunitas Brewing Company
Location: Petaluma, CA
Website: http://www.lagunitas.com
Serving Type: 12oz bottle
ABV: 9.84%
Pour: Copper colored with a small head. It doesn't look like there's a lot of carbonation here. I also note some yeast floating in the glass.
Smell: Very sweet...molasses, brown sugar (obviously!), and caramel.
Taste: The first thing is the sweetness followed by the alcohol. At over 9%, it's not hiding. Carbonation is very low on this one, but it feels good in the mouth.
Drinkability: I'd have to say that I could drink a couple of these very easily...either by itself or paired with something savory.
Grade: A-
This looks like a beer you could have with a serious meal. I myself need food to balance out a strong ale. There is a strong ale festival going on in Boulder, i think next month.
