Saugatuck Bonfire Brown Ale: Review

Saugatuck Brewing Company
Douglas, Michigan, USA
20 IBUs
5.5% abv

Appearance: I don’t know it is all foam.  One inch of brown liquid and a four finger tan head and that was on a gentle pour.  This is one foamy beer – went to pour the last inch of beer from the bottle, once my glass was half done, and wow explosion of foam.  All over the table; the foam was pouring out of the glass like lava coming out of a volcano; it just would not stop foaming. 

Aroma: toasted grains, mild-medium roast coffee, lightly toasted sugar,

Flavors: medium roast coffee, toasted grains, roasted caramel malt, some dark chocolate likeness, and a little toasted sugar  

Mouthfeel: super fizzy carbonation (something is wrong with this ale), very dry finish, toasted grains linger on the palate  

To the Point: Toasty is the word to describe this ale.  A very nice and toasty brown ale.  I just want one with 75% less carbonation
