FROM THE LABEL: Established in 1994
FROM THE WEBSITE: COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONOur flagship beer. A large percentage of black malt give this distinctive ale its dark brown/black color and that slightly roasted flavor. Magnum hops provide a backbone of bitterness and large additions of Mt. Hood hops later in the boil come right through in the finish. The result is a highly drinkable dark ale which bridges the gap between pale and porter.
FROM THE MOUTH: BROWN ALE: Mt Hood hops- "Soft American variety..frequently used in styles that require only a subtle hop aroma." Loved the soft brown caramel pour. Smell is malty sweet and first sip is a heavy caramel malt that slides nicely into a well balanced slightly, sneaky bitter hop than finishes with a total surprise of very mild coffee and perhaps cola. I really like the complexity and the smooth transitions. Hops hang on the tongue for a spell. I think this is well done, a bit on the sweet side at first sip but it mellows as you drink it. A
FROM THE STORE: Huckleberry's
