Weather Report, the Rogue's notes

Patiently waiting, 3/3.

  An incredible weekend in the 60s then snow Monday and icy roads to contend with Tuesday.  The Farmers Almanac calls for just below average temps in March, although warming.  April lookin' above average.  We'll see.

  I don't know if they're growin' on me or what, but Brown Ales are startin' to appeal. DuClaw Brewing Company's EuForia.  An English Brown Ale with aromas of nutty toffee, caramel and mocha coffee.  Poured a hazy dark brown with a less than one finger tan head.  22 IBUs.  Strong malt backbone and enough Fuggle hops to tweak the finish. Sweet and bitter is not always the best combination to deal with (like those wasted years on that one crazy bitch), but EuForia at 5% ABV, leaves you with the temptation to try another.  Hmm, Fat Tuesday/Ash Wednesday.  Go figure.  Had as a bottle and a draft.  Rated B+/A-.
