Beer Style: American Brown Ale  (10C)

Description:

Don't be scared. It looks and tastes like something between Newcastle Brown Ale and PBR. Malty, but with a clean aftertaste. Exceptionally clean mouth feel for a darker, more malty brew.

After bottling, LET IT AGE!!!!
2 weeks: awful.
3 weeks: not as awful, but still pretty bad
4 weeks: semi-acceptable

6 weeks: good
