Lagunitas - Brown Shugga

I like this beer.

A: Pours a very dark amber with generous head. Great head retention and tremendous spider web lacing on the glass.

S: Hops, malt, Brown Sugar (of course). Also fruit that I cannot place - but definitely there. A dark fruit - plum, raisin?

T: Malty sweetness aided by the brown sugar make this a real treat. The hop-bitter finish and great residual sugar coupled with the fruit leave a great taste in my mouth after each sip.

M: Sticky sugars and great hop pucker make for a great mouthfeel.

D: A bit high in alcohol. Very nice hop presence and the brown sugar stickiness is a definite asset.
