Cell Block 304 is a uniquely American Brown Ale. This ale overtly breaks the laws of style. American malts are combined with British specialty malts to build the backbone of this brown ale. The beer is then criminally hopped with a blend of English hops. The bitter, earthiness of the hops is balanced against the dark toasty malts and a touch of local honey.

Sample at The RailYard. Clear dark brown color with a thin beige head that diminishes quickly to an outer ring. Strings of lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, peanut and coffee. Medium body with a roasty malt and coffee character, with touches of hop and nuts in the background. The finish is roasty and nutty with a malty aftertaste. Decent overall.

Can from Weihenweizen: pours brown with a beige head. Aroma is lightly nutty, mostly malty, with some carmel with gentle hoppiness. Not very sweet or very bitter. Well balanced and pleasant to drink.
