Really Old Brown Dog Ale

From a 2010 bottle. Pours clear with a finger of light tan foam. Minimal staying power. Lacing sheets but falls back to level after sipping. Aroma is caramel dominated by toffee sweetness, accented by budding dark fruits. Nuttiness is here and there. Alcohol is present only has minor note. Taste is similar to the nose but not as robust. Malts lead the way, lending caramel and toffee throughout. Budding plums and figs notes add a nice layer. Alcohol complicates, almost tingling the nose. Full body beer that isn't cloying. Carbonation is medium, spritzy. Maybe too much. Probably could become more complex with even more age. As the beer warms, the alcohol really comes forward. Don't feel that the malt profile is big enough to carry this beer as it ages. Solid, but needs more flavor. Enjoy!
