The brown ale to end all brown ales. Enjoy it, because there is no longer any reason to drink another. You’ve reached the pinnacle. A healthy blend of traditional British malts give this popular style a semi-sweet, biscuity, slightly roasted flavor. Oats thicken the mouthfeel, and a handful of specialty malts add complex chocolate, toffee, and caramel notes. The hops are mostly traditional, earthy British hops, but we cocked it up a bit with some Cascade late in the boil just to show those snooty Brits that we don’t approve of that Constitutional Monarchy crap.

Fra fat på Gaasa. Ultramørk amber. Filmskum med litt farge. Tynn lacing. Lett karamellaroma. Smaken svakt krydret. Blir syrlig etter hvert. Lite variasjon.

On tap @ Patricks. Clear brown body with a medium sized tan head. Quite mild aroma of caramel malt, toast, some dry fruit and nuts. Flavor is medium sweet, caramel malt, toast, dry fruit, dark malt, milk chokolate and decent bitterness. Well balanced body and smooth malty aftertaste. A really fine and easy drinkable brown ale.
