Advertised hemp oil influence may be nominal, but bountiful mocha nuttiness makes up for it in spades. Maple-sugared peanut-clustered hazelnut-cola sweetness counters pine nut bittering to chewy caramel-roasted center. Resin-hopped chocolate-seeded coffee-caffeinated punctuation and sour prune-plum nuance add depth. Creamy to the core, yet crisply clean-watered and neat – like Guinness Stout with a walnut ice cream scoop.

Lacking the brawny brashness, but not the steely metallic pungency, of its ‘burly’ descriptive, this coarsely phenol brown ale gets mired in sour nuttiness. Grain-burnt peanut-shelled walnut char coats resinous hop astringency, overwhelming chalky mocha malting. Bitter rough-edged nutty finish falters.

Generous perfumed hop spicing embeds nutty pinewood bitterness and dried fig-date souring of medium-bodied amber-browned ale. Grain-roasted macadamia, hazelnut, and peanut oil nuances suffice, bringing further depth to brown-sugared raw-honeyed mocha malting.

Inviting thin-headed brown-hazed ‘smooth dark ale’ brings expressive nuttiness to roasted caramel alleviation. Oily hop-charred peanut-shelled walnut bittering counters meandering macadamia-hazelnut sweetness above cocoa-dried mocha malting. Ashy peat recess and metallic twinge obstruct nebulous vanilla-sarsaparilla spell.

Aromatic Southeast Asian pandan leaf uplifts sensuous spice-hopped cocoa and chocolate nibs illusions as well as candied hazelnut-pecan-almond roast. A bit phenol by timid cardboard-y palm sugar finish, but delicate gingerbread nuance and botanical heather lilt tingle backend nicely.

Terrific bottle-conditioned autumnal Belgian knockoff works oaken cherry aromatics into sour raisin-prune-plum ripeness and maple-sapped molasses sweetness, leaving funky candi-sugared Belgian yeast in its wake. Boozy alcohol whir picks up strength as tertiary hard cider, pumpkin pie crusting, and buttered pecan illusions surmount dark-spiced hop sharpness.

Ambiguous ‘Dusseldorf- style brown ale’ places musty raw-honeyed rye malting above dry black tea and orange pekoe bittering. Harsh nut-grained slipstream loses caramelized whir in a hurry. Indistinct medium-full-bodied altbier derivative just never catches fire.

Nicking aggressive roasted nut coarseness from brewers’ similarly-styled Bolita brand, dense hop-enriched malt-smoked ‘Oatmeal Rye India-Style Brown Ale’ retains creamy chocolate-y cocoa bean richness above ashen cedar tone to murky pine-sapped rye bottom. Dry port, burgundy, and fig illusions waver through sharp nuttiness.

Viscous 12th anniversary ale utilizes one dozen hops and malts to anchor concealed 12% alcohol luster. Syrupy sweet brown chocolate malting and maple-sapped molasses-dipped toffee fudging receive cinnamon-toasted hop-spiced raisin-prune souring. Oaken vanilla subsidy pervades lilting bourbon, barleywine, cherry wine, and dark rum warmth. Boozy brown ale makes superb dessert treat.

Fizzy hop frisk picks up faintest mocha-caramel insinuation as dry wheat contour builds to smooth nutty finish.

Candied toffee-butterscotch sweetness and vanilla malt cusp validate burnt caramel theme. Earthy peat finish picks up maple ash, chalky mocha, and dried raisin.

Dank citrus aroma, fizzy carbonation, and prune undertones peculiar for frothy brown ale. Somewhat reminiscent of copper ales due to rustic fruitiness, hop-grained dryness, and firm water-based crispness, though banal toasted caramel finish and weak nut backing fail at providing sufficient support.
