James Page Burly Brown Ale

Brewed by Stevens Point Brewery
Style: Brown Ale
Stevens Point, Wisconsin USA

This was pretty good. It was a clear dark brown with a nice sized head and just enough lacing. It had a hay like aroma. The body was kind of thin with hint of an astringent aftertaste. The flavour was good, a nice balance of malt and roasted flavour. Really reminded me of newcastle.

For the life of me, I cannot tell why people call these brown ales. This isn’t brown at all, it’s dark red. I mean, it’s lighter than black but brown is not just lighter than black, it’s brown. That aside, as stated earlier, this beer dark red, some would call it garnet. It’s a nice beer--slightly roasty, not much hops. It’s easy to drink but hardly what I’d call burley. Very drinkable but forgettable.

Hay chestnut brown w/ creamy beige foam. Good lace. Sweet, nutty aroma w/ hints of licorice & smoke. Thin medium feel. Roasty flavour of chocolate, chicory, & caramel punctuated by hints of licorice, smoke & wood. Long, earthy bitterness.

Smoky aroma, malted, woody warm aroma. Pours ruby amber, big head that did not last to long. Medium light body. Woody , rather thin to bee good . Some soft bitterness . On good track but need more torque .

Dark reddish brown with a moderate off white head. Interesting aroma, with a slightly nutty sweet maltiness with a hint of rast malt. Flavour gets a little bit of everthing foreshadowed by the aroma. Nutty roast lingers in the aftertaste. Palate is pleasant but a bit light in the finish. Nice beer, thanks Obisbeer.

Pour is a creamy brown with a quarter inch of frothy head. The aroma was nutty and apatizing. The flavor was quite rich and tastey. Not awesome... especially since it just followed the Rogue Hazelnut. But still a nice beer.

Smells like a glass of super-sweet iced tea. Muted hopping, licorice flavored, sweet, homebrewish, somewhat nutty, some grassiness. Long hoppy finish which clings. Medium-light body. OK label, good woody brown color.

Dark amber to light brown appearance. Fresh lake water aroma - good sized off-white head, very good thick lacing. Slight toffee and caramel notes in the flavor. Nutty back end, hints of chocolate. Pleasant mouthfeel Overall, a quaffable brew, nothing spectacular, just all around decent.
