Lagunitas Brown Shugga Ale

Originally a failed attempt at our 1997 batch of Olde GnarlyWine Ale resulting in an all-new-beer-style we like to call... Irresponsible. We believe this Special Ale is something unique. Feeding brown cane sugar to otherwise cultured brewery yeast is a'kin to feeding raw shark to your gerbil. It is unlikely to ever occur in nature without human intervention. And it looks weird besides. But it has happened and now it's too late.

Deep brown pour with a modest head. Fairly prominent rum character to this that approaches the line of crowding-out any other flavors. Gentle raisin bread. Fruity / earthy yeast accents. Thick, fat, and hot. Experience overall recovers ably after the initial wallop of the rum barrel to the olfactory senses.
