Mikkellers tribute to the foul-mouthed stewardess Jackie Brown from Quentin Tarantino’s movie of the same name. It’s a roasty, chocolaty brown ale with hints of coffee and licorice. Being a Mikkeller brew the malts are inevitably complimented by a great amount of hop bitterness, aroma and flavour.

Pours dark brown with a moussy, lacing-leaving, beige head. The aroma contains roasted malt, dark chocolate, wood, hops, coffee, nuts and herbs. It tastes very light malty sweet and medium to heavy bitter, with a long, dry, roasted, though hoppy fnish. Slick texture, average carbonation. Complex and good, but a bit too hoppy bitter to my liking.

Bottle from Skelly’s, Ballymahon [290816]
Dark brown, hazy, frothy fluffy beige head, good lacing
Aroma of citrus, browm caramel malts, dab of yeast, dissipates away
Taste of brown caramel, bitter citrus zest, dark fruits, dab of nutty malts, hint of roast, bitter orange, quite complex, good flavour
Palate - Medium carb and body, quite rich, bitter citrus and roast. Finish is bitter, bitter pine hops, fruity brown malts, nutty soft roast
Overall - Complex beer, a bit unusual. I like brown ales - this works for me

Apr. ’16. A 0.33 l bottle that poured a hazy brown body with medium sized head. Hoppy aroma, pungent with notable mildly roasted malt like cocoa and coffee. Flavor was bitter, a lot of orange bitterness, a bit of caramel, roasted sugar, especially in the aftertaste. Quite simple but very effective, as these recent hoppy brown ales tend to be!

Monumentális, örökké tartó hab, barna szín. Illata intenzív, karamell, pörkölt maláta és gyümölcsök (alma, megy), pici édeskés feketecsoki aromával kiegészülve. Pörkölt malátás, kissé savanykás alap, fekete csokival és komoly komlós keserűsséggel megspékelve. Hosszú, kissé fanyar, kesernyés, pörkölt utóíz. Közepesen testes.

330ml bottle from Brewdog online. Hazy dark brown with a ridiculous 8 finger tan head, dying down to a stable and more reasonable one finger froth after a few minutes. Aroma of dark malts, chocolate, hint of coffee, gentle roast. Taste is malty, caramel, roast, coffee, some dark chocolate, bit of a spice/yeast note, hoppy bitterness at the end. Not too dissimilar to a porter actually. Very smooth oily texture. Great.
Just a weird observation but this is a Danish beer that’s brewed in Belgium then exported to the US then imported to the UK. Bizarrely inefficient way for BrewDog to source this beer but I guess it was worth it.

Keg @ Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Pours deep brown with lovely beige head. Aroma is nutty, hoppy. Taste is wonderfully complex with layered malts, pine, chocolate, roast & dried dark fruits, with a great autumnal chestnut finish. A really very good American Brown Ale.

On-tap in Chez Sophie, 26th Jan 2016. Red hue to the brown body with an off-white/beige head that gave off some heavy lacing. Aroma was of malt like covered nuts, chocolate, malty biscuits and some dark fruitiness. Taste was similar to the nose without the nuts: chocolate, dark fruits and biscuits. Nice.
