Imperial Brown Ale

This bold, brown ale gets its body from a team of malts including caramel malt for sweetness, flaked barley for dense foam, a bit of chocolate malt for its deep color, and aromatic and Munich malts to add even more depth. German and Perle hops add a touch of bitterness to balance the malty sweetness. The addition of rich Sumatra coffee takes this perfectly balanced brown ale to a decadent level.

A solid but understated imperial Brown. A mild and slightly sweet malt nose. The taste includes elements of citrus and earthy hops, softly roasted malt, mild coffee, cream and a slightly vegetal aftertaste. Well balanced, but I could use a little more oomph.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is roasted malt with strong coffee beans, nuts, caramel, coffee grounds, mocha, and a touch of chocolate. Flavour is medium sweet with a roasy bitter finish. Body is above medium. Nice blend of beany coffee and nuts with some caramel malt and mocha. Good Imperial Coffee Brown!
