BS#0038 - Brownberry

pours dark, clear caramelly brown. OK white head. Smell is dry, sweet, some spices, but very mild. Taste is bitter, spiced. Not malty at all. Very thin mf, ok carbo.

Sampled draft @ Beerstorming. Faintly reddish dark brown, solid creamy tanned head. Nose is lightly strange berries, dried berries, faintly plastic, some skins & substantial skins. Taste is a bit neutral, not very outspoken, cranberries are only vaguely there, carbonation is a bit too high for me, taste is actually surprisingly bitter with bitter leaves, herbal, spices, low dry coffee, bitter herbal leaves & high carbonation. Bitter leaves & spice presence is interesting but I would have liked it with more fruit presence, having his one with more cranberries or alternatively a more expressive berry like cranberry would be quite interesting. Not bad but a bit too neutral for me.

Bouteille 33cl. Brune col épais crémeux blanc-cassé. Arôme est axé sur le malté avec un agréable fruité de canneberge dont le bouquet plus ’suret’ est contré par la malt. Petite touche anisé-réglisse perce en rétro. Palais est léger, le malté profil grains s’en ressent mais contre balancé par la canneberge. Je note un petit côté biscuité et pils. L’anisé est en retrait et apporte une certaine balance.
