Voodoo Wynona's Big Brown Ale: 21

Taste: 7 Finish: 7 Visual: 2 Aroma: 5
Total: 21

It smells great with big whiffs of chocolate and roasted coffee. The color is a deep brown. Unfortunately it is way over carbonated and the head was monstrous.

Even when the head settles down, there is still enough carbonation that stabs the tongue. It's slightly sweet but by mid-tongue the bitterness of the chocolate and coffee kicks in. Under it is some bitter hops. It finishes dryly leaving a mild but lasting bitterness on the tongue.

It definitely smells better than it tastes, and it tastes pretty good. Not a top notch brown ale, but pretty good.
