Dunedin Beach Tale Brown Ale

Brewed by Dunedin Brewery
Style: Brown Ale
Dunedin, Florida USA

Excellent, excellent brown ale. This is what a brown ale should be like, in my opinion. If you like brown ales, you want to give this one a try. Malty, not too roasty, smooth, and refreshing.

(bottle. mabdoney) Brown with red edges, thick, cream colored head. Aroma of brown sugar and toasty malts. Pretty full and rich in flavor. Tobacco, roasted malts, and nuts lef up to a pleasant, lingering hop finish. Tasted generic but was very enjoyable.

In the bottle. I was very pleased. Had wanted this one for a while. Good hoppiness, nd overall great balance. Quite scottish style evident in all of these guys brews, from what I can tell. Worth finding. Too bad I had bad information and the brewery was closed when I went!

Aroma: chocolate, vanilla, roasted malts, burnt coffee grounds, cinnamon, brown sugar, potpourri, and french vanilla coffee scents
Appearance: dark brown, off-white head, slight lacing
Flavor: peet moss, earthiness, and harsh stone flavors. also some oak or wood and carmel
Palate: smooth but sharp bite (like cheddar cheese), earthy aftertaste

Bottle, pint--The pour was a deep brown in color with the slightest reddish tint on the edges. There was a fairly large tan head that was almost frothy. The aroma wasn’t strong and contain mostly a roasty maltly smell. The flavor was overwhelming malty with some smokey touchs and hops finishing on the end. A bit unusual finish, but quite pleasant. Overall a fine Florida beer. World of Beer ?

As solid of a brown ale as i have ever had. The most important thing to remember when having a fine brew is to have it at room temperature. That really lets the flavor come through. There was a perfect blend of the 9 hops and 5 malts. A great brown ale. Not dark enough, and not they malts lack a nuttiness to them.

Looks like cola - frothy, light tan head. Metallic, slightly hoppy aroma - some brown sugar and molasses. Very malty. Matly finish, fillled with cocoa notes, dry and roasty. Decent amber.

Bottle from santa - dark amber pour with a frothy head - fairly nutty, typical brown ale aroma - fairly inviting - very hoppy and herbal up front - the hoppiness subsides, leaving a semi-dry, cocoa and hazelnut quality - pretty nice for the style - quite under-rated.
