Аромат хмелевой прежде всего, а карамели вообще мало, есть что то напоминающее сливу. Цвет темно карамельный. Пенка красивая и весьма пышная. Вкус немного приторный и не яркий и не имеет много разных ноток а главное карамели снова нету вообще. При глотке горечь хмелевая, зерно от солода. Немного сухофруктов как будто. Послевкусие быстрое и не схожее на браун, очень много хмеля. В целом мне не зашло, не в стиль как по мне.

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 5 May 2024) Dark brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, slightly roasted nose with bread, cola, orange peel and toast. Malty taste with notes of chocolate, toast, roasted grain, bread, raisins, orange peel and a balanced citric/roasty bitterness in the finish. Medium body, quite dry. Rich, tasty and well balanced. Very nice.

330ml bottle. Pours dark brown with a frothy beige head lasting the duration. Aroma of chocolatey and nutty/roasty malts. Taste of chocolate, nutty, roast malts, caramel, dark fruits, solid hop bitterness though still in line with the English style. Medium bodied. Excellent example of the style.

Anglo-Saxon style brown ale by one of London’s leading postmodern (US-inspired) craft breweries in the heart of the ‘Bermondsey Mile’, apparently one of their more elusive offerings, very rarely exported to the continent, if at all. Thanks Craftmember for sharing. Thick and foamy, clearly hops-enhanced, paper-like lacing, pale greyish beige, stable head, clear deep bronze-brown robe with mahogany glow. Aroma of toasted bread having been toasted a tad too much, dried grapefruit peel, dry old marijuana even, roasted walnuts, nutmeg, wormwood leaf, toasted onion, bitter unsugared chocolate. Dryish onset, clean, some dried fig and unripe peach perhaps but low in both sweetness and esteriness, medium carbonated with slick mouthfeel; toasted nutty and toasted bread-crusty malts, bitter with faint sweetish caramelly core, but the malt bitterness nicely connects with a leafy, peppery, eventually wormwoody but still elegant hoppiness, with both ‘parallels of bitter’ aptly filling and prolonging the finish. Brewed in London, so one might be easily fooled to think that this is a southern brown ale, but like all postmodern craft beer styles, American brown ale (the much hoppier version, dating back to the eighties but largely overshadowed by other styles now) can of course be brewed anywhere, even in the heart of what was once its predecessor’s homeland. And American style brown ale this Kernel version is, clearly.

Dark mahogany pour with a decent, lasting head. Aromas of toasted white bread, some sugar and toffee. Tastes of malt, nuts, toffee, chestnut with a decent, slightly bitter aftertaste.
