The proprietor at Mayfair liquor pointed this beer out to me, and said if I liked the Hazelnut Brown, I wold love this one. I love the Hazelnut Brown, and would venture to say it's my favorite Brown Ale, but this one just doesn't have the body and complexity of taste as that fine beer. That being said, there is nothing about the John John that particularly stands out as bad, it's just an average beer, and an average beer is better than no beer at all.
A minimal tan head disintegrates quickly with no residual lace to speak of. The color is a murky, reddish-brown.
Aroma consists of chocolate malts, caramel, a little nutmeg and a faint earthiness. Tastes of caramel malty sweetness up front with cherries, some red hots candied sweetness, and a light hop backbone.
Has a bit of a light fruity aftertaste with some faint boozy notes from the barreling peeking in from time to time. Dry at the edges, medium bodied and smooth overall.
