Jug Thumper Malty Brown Ale

From the LaVista Lucky Bucket brewery, Jug Thumper is a crowd pleaser, a good introductory beer for those who are afraid of "the dark". It pours a dark reddish-brown with a quickly disapating two-finger head. Subtle notes of coffee, caramel and chocolate, but not so much that it would drive off the lager drinkers. Good solid beer for the remaining cold months, and probably appropriate for Spring as well.
