AKA Holiday Leftover Ale
AKA Brown Sugar Substitute
This sad holiday season we didn’t have the brewing capacity to make our favorite seasonal brew, the widely feared BrownShugga’ Ale. You see we had a couple of really good years (thank you very much) and so heading into this season while we are awaiting the January delivery of a new brewhouse we are jammin’ along brewing 80 barrels of IPA and PILS and such every 3 hours. A couple of months back we realized that since we can only brew a mere 60 barrels of Shugga’ every 5 hours, that we were seriously screwed. For every case of Shugga’ brewed, we’d short 3 cases of our favorite daily beers. It’s a drag. This year, we brewed something that we think is also cool and brews more like our daily brews. The new brewhouse will help insure this kind of failure never happens again. It’s a mess that we can not brew our BrownShugga’ this year and we suck for not doing it. There is nothing cool about screwing this up this badly and we know it. Maybe we can sue our own sorry selves. There is no joy in our hearts this holiday and the best we can hope for is a quick and merciful end. F*@& us. This totally blows. Whatever. We freaking munch moldy donkey butt and we just want it to be all over...
So this substitute beer is a ‘Cereal Medley’ of Barley, Rye, Wheat, and Oats…. Full of complexishness from the 4 grains, and weighing in at 8% abv, Then joyously dry-hopped for that big aroma and resinous hop flavor.

Pours a bright yellow.. Some floral notes etc. OK but didn’t really excite me that much.

6er from the BO. Clear orange pour, medium white head. Aroma is sweet, quite malty, toasted cereals, brown sugar, with light fruit and grasses. Nice mouth feel, good carb. Medium bitter finish, light notes of pine and light fruit. Maltiness fades and it gets hoppier at the end. Interesting brew.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso propende per il caramello. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma rimane a lungo fermo nel bicchiere. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido si presenta velato e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore è ramato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è contenuto. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il finale è semplice e dissetante. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Al gusto vengono donati toni di zucchero caramellato, caramello, miele, frutta secca, pane cotto di recente e agrumi.

Bottle at home. Aroma is resinous hops, chewy malt, big pine resin, ripe tropical fruits, stone fruits, peach, apricot, caramel. Flavour is moderate sweet and above medium bitter. Body is medium. Smooth and quite resinous with a bittersweet flavour, nice one.

Tap at Tapzuid, Amsterdam: Clear amber colored brew with an sweet bitter taste, hints of caramel, tropical fruits, spices and pine. Clearly on of the best from the Heineken portfolio.
It was a mistake beer, not on the list, but here's doing mistakes being good things!

Recht hopfig Nase, im Trunk okay, fruchtig, alkoholisch. Lag vielleicht etwas lange.
