Bold, assertive, fluffy tan-headed brown ale with 9% alcohol depth offers chewy barleywine essence, buttery malt flow, and dried-fruited plum-prune-date assist. Busy soda fizz contrasts sour yeast sinew judiciously consuming bitter hop spicing ’til wee heavy toffee finish gains control.

Soft malt caress weaves through ester-y citric fizz, allowing nutty chocolate cadence and distant caraway spicing to imbibe non-traditional light-bodied brown ale. Juicy raspberry, blueberry, and apricot fruiting contained by polite black currant bittering, barely redeeming slim buttery finish. Slight enough to entice lightweight pilsner fans.

Dried floral hop whiff leads to buttery barleywine warmth immediately assimilating heavy alcohol ascent of succulent multi-dimensional copper-hazed medium body. Sweet ‘n’ sour malt-sugared fruit-spiced sass coats astringent earthen nuttiness. Pungent fig-date finish counters watery lightness. Competes favorably with less subtle Abbaye de Floreffe Brown Ale.

Dank mocha aroma surrounds brown-sugared chocolate-caramel malting, rustic mineral graining and nutty wisp of mahogany medium body. Sticky resinous hops add bitterness but depth lacks.

Ambitious plum-hued brown ale usurped by explosive bubbly carbonation. Chewy candy-coated caramel creaminess infiltrates aggressive wheat-honeyed malting, rigid apple tartness, and ascending orange rind bitterness, integrating well with herbal wine niche. Hints of tobacco, raisin, and chocolate mint clustered beneath. Sip slowly to avoid carbolic nose-tingling obtrusiveness.

Mild English-styled brown ale blurs powdered cocoa, sour chocolate, and sweet caramel nuances into muted hazelnut-pecan-almond quagmire, causing subdued barley-hop roast to squander tenuous malt smudge.

Sophisticated faux-Belgian-styled brown ale raises chewy cookie dough luster above tongue-coating mocha-caramel-chocolate malts countering tingly floral-piney hop spicing. Alcohol-burned astringency defers resinous mineral grained center, molasses-soaked wheat toast bottom and recessive almond-hazelnut clip to no ill effect. Medicinal finish gains mild sherry-port remnant.

Creamy coffee serenade prevails over meaty Brazilian nut dryness, resinous chocolate bitterness, and distant cherry jubilee tartness. Stove-burnt coffee finish levels alcoholic severance then loses luster.

Dark coffee-hued ale has rich chocolate aroma and hearty mocha assertion reminiscent of mild porter. Lucid honeyed finish softens middleweight contender amateurs will appreciate more than discerning pros. Brewery defunct: 2002.

Chewy caramelized candi-sugared malts sweeten dry prune-fig intensity to nutmeg-spiced bruised orange tempest of sturdy copper-hazed 8% alcohol daze.

Butterscotch-laden dark brown ale burrows friskily hopped mocha dryness and roasted barleymalts into earthy sediment finish. But tinny metallic thrust infringes impending mild toasted nut bitterness.

Snappy chocolate sweetness overrun by plaintive bitter grain flow and soothing hard-candied butterscotch notch. Pleasing sugared honey finish peters out to delicate off-dry mocha malt sedation with spiced cherry, plum, and raisin hints.
