Durty Mud Season Hoppy Brown Ale

Durty Mud Season Hoppy Brown Ale, Smuttynose Brewing Company, Portsmouth, NH
(American Strong Ale, Rated 96)
Commercially this beer is described as a brown IPA. It's definitely different and has characteristics of both a brown ale and an IPA. Pours a dark brown with a thick tan head. Nice lacing on the glass. Big roasted malt aroma with citrus hops. Nice combination of the nutty, biscuity, caramel flavors with a nice amount of hop bitterness. Taste starts off sweet then moves to the hop flavors that linger through a dry finish. Really excellent beer!
