FrankenBROWN was our maiden beer that we used to christen our long lusted for brewery. A high percentage of specialty grain brings the soul of malt, biscuit and coffee notes. The bitterness and aroma comes from a hit of hops added throughout the boil as well as dry hopping. 5.3% ABV makes for a beer that is right on.

Bottle. Dark brown with a light tan head. Aroma of filter coffee, singed biscuits. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Sweet biscuit and coffee with lots of burnt notes that at first overwhelm both malt and hops. But after a while some the sweetness asserts itself and the bitterness if not the aromatics of the hops emerges.Couldn’t get past the burnt flavours.

Sampler. Strong cocoa aroma. Chocolate sauce appearance. Tan head. A little zingy. Finish is fruity cocoa with a cordial sweetness. Nice.
