Downtown Brown (Lost Coast Brewery & Cafe)

The Lost Coast Brewery and Cafe is a small brewery in Eureka, California.  We discovered their Downtown Brown Ale through a random six pack at Binny's.

This brown ale has a much more bitter finish than some of the other brown ales we've reviewed, and the overall texture is not smooth.  With the other ales we believe we've been able to find some more chocolate or smoky notes in other brown ales, we don't feel like that's the case here. 

All in all though, it's not a beer that's unenjoyable - but at any place that would serve this beer, there definitely are better options.
