Amherst Massatucky Brown

Pours a light to medium brown. I couldn’t get an aroma from the sampler glass that it was poured in. High in carbonation compared to the other brews I sampled at the brewery. Sweet malts. A bit toasty. Reminded me somewhat of a root beer.

Cold on tap: Pours a clear dark golden color with a fluffy alabaster head. Aroma is of malt, grass, light fruits and brown sugar notes. Taste is of sweet malts and well blended grassy hops with some light fruits. Light bodied and smooth with mild carbonation. Ending is malty sweet with brown sugar notes.

sampled at the brewpub. reddish brown in color. light caramel aroma. Taste is caramel, light notes of nutty malts and chocolate. this was thin and watery though.

Poured an amber-brown color with a thin tan head that was short-lived, weak lacing provided. The aroma was chocolate roasted malts, some nuts with temperature increases. Flavor followed the aroma, was somewhat bitter-balanced, although not really hopped much? There was a funky aftertaste to this one, not sure what it was, but it was just off. The mouthfeel was sticky and somewhat thick.

Red brown ale with no head. Light sweet brown sugar aroma. Faint malt taste with light roasted nuts. Again, very watery and boring. On tap Feb.10, 2006.
