Lagunitas Brown Shugga

I have been remiss. Appologies...

Lagunitas Brown Sugga

Slightly malty nose with good sweetness and depth. Deep red in hue.

Good flavor, rich and complex, but overly sweet at the finish, almost cloying.

It has the malty richness of a high alcohol beer in the finish, slightly overly sweet/alcoholic.

The start is very very mild, not much there at all. The body is good, but the flavor is not particularly interesting until the end.

Some people really like this beer, but I am rather blasé about it. There are not really enough hops to balance all the malt, and it lacks the spice or complexity in the middle to really distinguish it.

One dimensional beers can be good. However the flavors here are simply not exciting enough to be left unbalanced. The sweet is too overbearing and nothing balances the alcoholic twang at the finish.

WDTB? My team, as we are sponsored by Lagunitas. Awesome. Those who really like malty/strong beers.

WSDTB? People looking for mildly flavorful strong beers. This is definitely flavorful, but not on par with something like Arrogant Bastard.
