Southampton “Big Brown Ale” is our version of American-style Brown ale. As you might image, American-style Brown ale is bigger and bolder than classic English Brown ale. It contains “more of everything”- more hops (American varieties, of course), more malt and more body. This results in a higher alcohol content of 6.0% by volume (as compared to English Brown ale which is typically in the 4.5% range). FLAVOR DESCRIPTION: Big and bold with an assertive piney hop character with hints of chocolate and caramel.

Poured into a mug, the appearance was a milk brown color with a thick white foamy head that dissipated at a decent pace. Some light stringy lace.
The aroma had some soft sweet nuts, nice smooth sweet malty/breadiness. And just a tickle of caramel at the end. Light milk chocolate. Light on the grassy hops.
The flavor leads with a sweet blend of nuts to bready malts and balancing in the hops ever so slightly. Mostly sweet aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Sly carbonation. ABV felt appropriately done right by the brewer.
Overall, nicely done brown ale worthy of having again, preferably as a dessert beer and in either mid Spring or mid Autumn.

Imperial pint @ the Ginger Man. Pours with a large, frothy head that sits on a dark, clear, brown body. Aroma is bark, bitter hops, and a slick maltiness. It all melds well, comes of as a hoppy English forest. Taste. is bitter, bark, prune, and hops. I got to talking with other RBians, so my notes end here. But I thought of this is a fine, slightly more hoppy, slightly stronger brown ale. Nothing to write home about but a damn fine beer.
