Flossmoor Station Pullman Brown

Brewed by Flossmoor Station Restaurant & Brewery
Style: Brown Ale
Flossmoor, Illinois USA

Typical munich malt chewiness with some sweet maple and light char. Low hoppy, more chewy than it needs to be, and it finishes with a winter-warmer resemblance, slightly more thick than typical brown ale.

Poured from the tap to an opaque dark brown, with thick tan head that disspated quickly and left okay lacing. This had to be one of the drakest brown ales I’ve ever had. Nose was slightly mute, but a pleasant mix of malty roasted nuts, chocolate and a hint of coffee. Mouthfeel unspectacular for this medium bodied beer. Flavor was more of the malty choclate and nuts, with a finish that was sweet and warming, but offset by just enough hops to avoid being too sweet. A good winter beer.

On tap @ brewpub. Brown pour with a light tan head. Aroma of toasted malt, and a bit of smoke. Flavor of toasted malts, light nuts, a bit of smoke and honey. Medium body, nutty/malty with a nutty/toasty finish.

Got to give them props on this brown ale. It was creamy, rich, smooth, and toasty. It had great complexity from its abundance of malt backbone, to its perfectly balanced backend and slight hop bitterness. Nicely done. Very drinkable.

Had this beer at GABF on 10/2/1999. Aroma is light with just a hit of malt. Color is deep brown with light carbonation and thin head. Taste is very mild with low malt character and an alcohol feel. Not a very good Brown.

Imperial nut brown! Lovely mahogany hue, full bodied, chewy yet slippery mouthfeel. Roasty taste with a lingering hop finish with plenty of nut including almond. Seemed 7+% alcohol, medicinal taste but not in an off putting way. Faint coffee.Below average carbonation. This is by far the best microbrew-pub reastauant brews I’ve had and food and service was excellent. Highly recommended.

On tap at Flossmoor, 9/22/07. Deep mahogany brown in color with nice dense tan foam that has phenomenal retention and lacing. Aroma is surprisingly hoppy with lots of malt hiding beneath. Initial flavor is jam packed with lots of rich maltiness and very nice hoppiness, the bummer is as the pint goes down, the beer loses more and more character. Complex at first and then very pedestrian.
