Marshall Wharf Phil Brown Ale

Brewed by Marshall Wharf Brewing Co/Three Tides Restaurant
Style: Brown Ale
Belfast, Maine USA

My Bottom Line:
Almond skins, peat smoke and caramel coalesce into this Brown Ale’s comfortable mouthfeel as sturdy earthy hop bitterness and light fruit esters add even more complexity.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A sheet of foam covers the dark brown.
-Looks like they tried to serve it on nitro...and I must say it worked!
-Complex Brown Ales are rare, as they are usually mailed in for some reason. This one branches out and offers a lot more than the ubiquitous example of the style.
-The nutty malt character also emulates roasted chestnuts.
-The flavor profile is generous and balanced.
