Root Beer Brown Ale

We’ve brewed a classic brown ale with a secret blend of root beer spices, creating a harmonious symphony of nutty, toasty, caramel, and chocolate malt notes, beautifully complemented by the woody and complex root beer spices. A hint of earthy and citrusy hop flavor from Willamette provides moderate bitterness, balanced by subtle red grape and dry fruit esters from our English ale yeast. Overall, fairly light, dry, and easy-drinking.

On tap. Pours a dark mahogany with moderate head. Aromas of spicy caramel and toasted malts. Flavors of malty root beer. As advertised.

On tap at Parallel 49. Pours clear brown with an off-white head. Root beer on the nose. Flavour has dry root beer and some bready malts. Not bad for what it is.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours a clear dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma smells like a root beer—any further word would be superfluous. Flavour is a little more complex, with lots of root beer spices, and actually some dark malts in here. Not my thing but it’s not egregious.
