Ringo (959), Loveland, Colorado, USA Feb 9, 2003 Imperial Brown ale. What a concept. Of course I liked it. My only complaint is that it is a little too soft, sorta flat in other words. I didn't find Ernesto's lively carbonation in this. Ernest (4250), Boulder, Colorado, USA Feb 7, 2003 Updated: Mar 7, 2004Draught. Body is medium brown. Aroma is moderately malty (nuts, caramel), with notes of cask wood and whiskey. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Medium body, watery texture, soft carbonation. Aubrey (2607), Denver, Colorado, USA Jan 27, 2003 Updated: Mar 2, 2004Massively chewy malts; residual unfermentables possibly. Wafty malt aromas were very pleasant. Some hop bitterness, but not enough to balance the sweet and heavy malts, IMO. Big caramel sweetness. Only a slight alcohol nip, though I'm sure there was plenty in there. Sweet, thick and meaty. Rerate: Deep-dark brown and clear. Smooth and mildly carbonated; kind of lightish. Sweet vanilla, caramel, whiskey and wood notes. Interesting brew.
