Oatmeal Brown

This is one monster of a Brown Ale! We use an obnoxious amount of chocolate malt and roasted barley to give this beer a cast iron backbone. Our oatmeal brown pours a dark mahogany with aromas of dark chocolate and coffee.

Can. Really loved the steam-punk picture on the can. Very deep brown in color with a tan, two finger head. Aroma was roasted grains. Taste was malty roasted grains with hints of chocolate.

From City Brew Tours, canned?

It pours a clear reddish brown with a finger of foam, some lacing, pretty good retention.

The smell is very much of chocolate, oats, caramel malt, and perhaps some coffee?

The taste is big chocolate and oats, caramel malt, has some bitterness that reminds me of coffee.

Smooth mouthfeel.

Quite good.

Can sourced from Beer Republic and drunk at home New 🇺🇸 brewery ✅ pours dark brown with a beige head. Toasted and roasted malty with lots of cocoa and caramel sweetness, light hoppy undertones, medium body, brown sugar and coffee notes, nutty accents into the malty finish. Decent brown.

35,5 cl. can @ home, bought @ Una Mas, Nieuwegein.
Dark brown with an off-white head. Nice nutty aroma with roasted malts. Sweet taste with a low-bitter finish. Bit thin overall but still tasty.

Not bad, a little shallow but with a nice dusting of cocoa and nuts followed by a little roast and a mild bitterness. Comes across English, which is nice, if quaint.
