Bryggens Brown Ale

Brewed by Bryggen
Style: Brown Ale
Thisted, Denmark

Dark brown, hazy with a small, creamy head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, coffee and rye bread, men not the burnt plastic, that was a clear note in the aroma a month ago, when I first tasted this. Unfortunately the burnt plastic still is a clear note in the flavour together with a light sweetness, a burnt bitterness and notes of roasted malt. It’s a bit sharp and unbalanced, and the brewer admits that it has an off-flavour. And then I start wondering why on earth he doesn’t pour it down the drain, since he has thought so a month by now – well, maybe I’m just too fuzzy, and this might just be one of those things, that women do not understand...

Draught at the brewpub. Frothy good mostly deminishing head. Red-amber colour. Moderate malty very roasted aroma. Moderate bitter flavor. Strong chocolate and roasted notes. Average moderate bitter finish. Oily palate. Quite nice brownale.

Draught. Bit unclear dark brown colour. Sweet nutty toffee bit chocolate malty aroma. Caramel and well toasted maltiness in the flavour along with some toffee and some chocolate. Mild bitter toasty finish.
