It’s not very often a beer gets made to specifically showcase malts, but we have always liked being a little different. Good Humans is a very big and bold Brown Ale that is also dry-hopped with Simcoe and Golding hops. This beer is full of flavor and feelings including caramel, toffee, mild hop bitterness, and the awareness that we are all in this together. Drink a Good Humans and be a good human.

Bonito marrón oscuro, escasa espuma, tintada pero de buen aspecto. Aroma especiado que deja apreciar también la malta, no dulce, sino seca y tirando a fruto seco. Compleja en boca, y diferente. Licórica y balanceada, y con un lúpulo que parece no beneficiar el carácter malteado, produciendo un sabor diferente en parte afrutado. Decente y bebible para 8 grados, pero no convence del todo.

Bottle, Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Good looking label. Dark brown pour with a small off white head. Nose had notes of choc, caramel and spice alongside a little hoppage. Flavour revealed some sweet malts, dark fruits, earth and piney hop. Lingering dry bitter finish. Interesting and enjoyable stuff.

Bottle, courtesy my good friend Steve – thanks! Instant gratification when popping the cap; a robust, nutty and chocolatey dry-hopped scent quickly fills the air. The chestnut brown pour is crisp, topped with a finger of creamy beige head and scant lacing. Solid appearance. The taste is just what I’d expect from a dry-hopped Imperial Brown Ale, you know, based imagination since I’ve probably never had one. Good hop flavor, mostly florals, goes well with the chocolate, nuts, and roast. Robust, earthy, and perhaps a little rye. Something I wouldn’t drink a lot of, but a solid entry in the cleanup slot and it’s really hitting the spot right now.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 10/22/2013. Pours slightly hazy ruby brown color with a 1-2 finger dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of grapefruit, orange zest, lemon zest, caramel, toast, brown sugar, chocolate, coffee, light nuttiness, floral, grass, light pine, and floral/toasted earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of hop and dark/roasted malt notes; with good strength. Taste of caramel, brown sugar, toast, cocoa, light coffee, brown bread, light nuttiness, floral, grass, pine, and floral/toasted earthiness. Fair amount of earthy floral/pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, toast, brown sugar, cocoa, brown bread, light coffee, light nuttiness, floral, pine, and toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance and complexity of dark/roast malt flavor with moderate hop presence; with good robustness and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a moderately creamy and smooth mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a small warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice imperial brown ale. All around good balance, complexity, and robustness of dark/roast malt and moderate hop flavors; and very smooth to sip on for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.

Bottle at the De Molen Second Tuesday Tasting, January 2013. Poured a clear dark brown with a round white glass-hugging head. The aroma is resin hop and a little caramel. The flavour is medium to strong bitter with a soft, slightly watery woody hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with flat carbonation.

12 oz bottle. Practically clear, deep amber body with a small beige head. Nice and strong aroma of caramel malt, chocolate and dry fruit. Flavor is sweet and malt driven with caramel, dry fruit and relatively bitter. Fine, strong body and a long aftertaste with balanced bitterness. Tasty and refreshing, nice and pretty close to a strong brown ale.

Bottle shared by Bobo, thank you! Aroma light caramel, light roasted, light chocolate. Moderate aromatic USA hops. Some diacetyl. Clear dark ruby-brown colour. Taste is light roasted, moderately fruity. Finish is chocolatey, coffee. Body is a bit too low for me, the impression almost watery.
