Lagunitas Brown Shugga' Sweet Release
12oz.
9.84% abv
Brown Shugga poured very bland, with very little head. I was afraid it might be flat, but luckily it wasn't. It has a slightly sweet aroma, with a good bit of alcohol warmth. Fairly sticky cling on the glass. It has a very smooth mouthfeel, with a strong warm feel about it. It isn't as sweet as I thought it would be, instead it is malty overtones that hit you. There is still some nice hoppyness in the middle, but the smooth malts give a great aftertaste.
Overall, I'm enjoying Brown Shugga.

I've never had the bottled version, I wonder if it's better than the stuff they had on-tap at the joint across the street? I wasn't a big fan of that -- way too sweet.
Then it's definitely different than the on-tap version I've had here. That one had a really noticeable almost cloying sweetness to it. I may have to pick up the bottled version to try, 'cause usually I'm a big fan of the Lagunitas beers.
