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.

Bottled 355ml. -from Primož Ljubljana. Dark amber/brownish coloured, small beige head, coffee in the nose. Light roasted malt, roasted coffee, caramel and notes of chocolate with rather dry bitter coffee finish. Pleasant, alcohol hidden.

Bottle @ home. Nice red-brown color, full sized almost huge beige head that lasts for a long time. Aroma is malts, dark malts, heavy coffee, unfortunately also quite vegetal green unripe coffee beans. Taste malts, coffee, dark malts, moderate coffee roast, some chocolate and chocolate coffee bitter. Flavor is solid but the aroma imo is over the top, too vegetal. Overall it's nice though.

Fra fat (planke) på Taphouse København nov-17: mørk brun med rødskjær og fint skum som varer. Karamellkjeks, dessertsjokolader og nybrent kaffe. Milde urter i bitterheten. En superfyldig og lekker brown ale med både kropp og karisma.

On tap. Pours a dark brown with moderate head. Aromas of nuts and oily ground coffee. Flavors follow same with mellow nutty chocolate, dark caramel and a bit of grass and copper. Comes across as a Scottish. Smooth and balanced. Nice
