Blood-thick chocolate malt richness and mild burnt hop bitterness provide winning blend for high caliber New Englander. Softer palates will appreciate moderate-bodied essence yet hard drinking guzzlers will enjoy long lasting mocha finish.

LAGUNITAS NUEVO NOIR BELGIAN STYLE BROWN ALE
Creamy coppery chestnut seasonal (circa 2005-2007) lets wintry coriander-nutmeg bristle soak up candi-sugared Belgian yeast sweetness, ancillary chocolate-cocoa-caramel malt thicket, and dark-spiced plum-prune-cherry-banana remnant. Distant almond buttering drifts into astringent wood-charred dry hop finish, downgrading floral burgundy aftertaste with slight phenol nature.

AVERY ELLIE’S BROWN ALE
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.
(CARACOLE) NOSTRADAMUS ARTISANAL SPECIAL BROWN ALE
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.
