This is the last of the bottles I got from Cervezorama before they rolled down the blinds forever. Ugly Duckling Foxy Brown Ale has enough sass to perk you up on a rainy day like this one, when you're remembering that your first beer store has closed, but its somber color also goes with the clouds.

A pretty, if standard, color, dark brown and off white head. It has an aley scent, although nothing stands out in terms of special ingredients. I was half expecting a bitter craft ale flavor, but although there is some bitterness, it's surprisingly more like a stout - smoky, tongue covering, and mellow. There are a couple of high notes which one might connect with an ale, being vaguely citrusy. The sweetness starts to overcome the darker flavors pretty quickly, and about a third of the way into the glass it's a mildly sweet, caramelly drink. It's very pleasant, and just strong enough for the season I think, although a cooler summer night would also be good conditions for this beer.
