This brown ale is a tribute to their sales manager Pete Brown who passed away back in 2002. What a great tribute.
Appearance: deep dark brown with mahogany highlights when held up to the light. It poured a nice fine one finger head and it leaves some lacing on the glass with each sip.
Aroma: toasted sugar and malts.
Flavors: rich sweet toasted malts. On the bottle it says, ‘golden brown sugars and sweet molasses.’ I’ll go for that.
Mouthfeel: moderate carbonation, deep roasted notes linger for a long time on the palate. Medium body on delivery and medium-full overall.
My Strength Rating: 6.5 – nice toasted sweetness in taste and long lingering roasted malts, grain, and sugars kick it up a notch.
A very decent brown ale that would be good on a beautiful fall day.
I’ll be pairing this one down the road with a fine cigar and a bowl of chili.
Cheers Pete!
