Breckenridge 471 Small Batch Mighty Brown

Brewed by Breckenridge Brewery
Style: Brown Ale
Denver, Colorado USA

22oz bottle. Unique aroma of lightly smoked chocolate chip cookie dough. Some mild butterscotch and brown sugar notes as well. Dusty cocoa powder as well. Pours a thick brown with a nice sized khaki head leaving excellent lacing. Initial flavor has a good amount of oatmeal creaminess and brown sugar sweetness. Hints of milk chocolate and cocoa dusted malted milk ball. Heavy on the malt with just a touch of bittering hops. Spot on body for the style. Creamy on the tongue. Hell... this one’s not nearly as bad as the ratings suggest.

Dark brown pour with a two finger thick light cocoa brown head that fades quickly. Burnt malt aroma with sweet chocolate. Very smooth body. Very little bitterness. A hint of caramel in flavor.

wow nice big brown here i thought. really DRY on the palate and hangin in there for quite some time. nice color not much head at all. and a bit watery mouthfeel. however like i said NICE REALLY dry finish which is ice great beer good work

Pours a dark brown with a rich thick tan head. Aroma was all about the brown malt flavors, a nice balance of caramel and chocolate with slight hints of sweetened coffee. Flavor was big for a brown, rich in english malt flavor balanced with some brown malt and chocolate. Pushed almost into a porter, but not quite. Mothfeel was very pleasant... rich full body with appopiate carbonation. Residual sugars provided a silken feel to the beer and complemented the hint of dryness at the end. Really a well crafted beer. A bit big for a brown, and not quite a porter, but an "imperial brown" like this is fantastic!

Bottle from Friar Tuck in Savoy, IL. Pours a dark brown with some ruby hues and a dissipating off white head. Aroma of brown sugar, hazlenut, and cocoa powder. Initial flavor of caramel, brown sugar, and wet grains- all with moderate sweetness. Mid palate has just enough hops to balance it out but is quickly overpowered by astringency. Some vanilla on the finish that is then is dominated unpleasant fusel alcohol Messy and unbalanced. Improves at room temperature.

bottle. dark brown/black pour with tan milkshake head. lacing. aroma of roasted malts, fresh hops, coffee and brown sugar. medium body. sweet and sugary. sugars mellow as it warms altough I feel they are too dominant. sour malts, roasted nuts, fresh hops, molasses. Nice effort. The 417 is about all I look forward to from Breck.

22 oz bottle served at cellar temperature. Poured a clear ruby brown color. Head was two fingers high and light tan in color. Aroma was of toffee, molasses, and husky grain. Delicately sweet on the tongue with lots of biscuity malt and caramel flavor. There were also a strong vanilla accent and a hint of milk chocolate.
