Year of New Beer: Family Values Imperial Brown Ale, Sierra Nevada Brewing (CA)

Written By: Dion on 11/30/2016

Cocoa powder, roasted nuts, and hints of caramel and honey on the nose. On the tongue, the cocoa powder seems to lean a bit more toward a sweet chocolate, as a slightly earthy hop note provides bitterness, albeit very mild. Nuttiness is much more pronounced than on the nose, with the caramel and honey keeping it interesting. Body seems a bit light overall, but still a solid, enjoyable beer.
