McNeills Slop Bucket Double Brown

Formerly brewed at McNeills Brewery
Style: Brown Ale
Brattleboro, Vermont USA

Out of a bottle. Aroma primarily of its malts with just enough hops to make it crisp. Poured a nice light brown with a quickly settling head. Flavor was good nice malts and caramel. Palate was nice, thin but very dry and crisp. Overall I enjoyed this very much

Lightly hazed copper color with a small tan head. Dark caramel and fresh floral hops aromas (lightly floral). One of the better brown ale aromas. Very dry and crisp flavors. Dry nuts and herbal flavors. The flavors are rather sedate.

22 oz bomber - Hazed brownish amber, thick light tan creamy head. Strange muddled nose on this one with notes of candy wax, chocolate, and florals, with lighter hints of caramel nut. Very bland flavors of all the above with some tossed in bitterness late. Light bodied and thin, soft carbonation, waxy, light chocolate nut finish. Did I miss the point of this one? Either way, I was completely disappointed....

Poured a hazy dark brown with a slightly yellowish head. The aroma is rusty leaves, caramel and coffee. I tasted light plastic, burnt leaves and a hint of caramel. Although, it was not as bad as that description sounded. Thanks for the brew, Joel.

Thanks Joel. This beer pours to a dark brown body with a thin fizzy white head and spotty lacing. The aroma is English walnuts, peanut husks, and a light citrus hops (oranges). The flavor is walnut and oranges. The palate is light to medium bodied and slick.

Nice, deep ruby bronze color, translucent with a thin sudsy head. Aroma brings out accents of pecans, smoky campfires, soft hot pretzels and rye. Flavor builds off the aroma predecessors, with nutty, unsalted pecans, toasted hazelnuts and rye pretzels. Softer accents are derived from caramel, peanut shells and wood chips. Formidable hopping. Nutty and rich, and a pretty damn good brown ale. Thanks to tpkenned for the bottle!

Dark brown color w/ a nice off white head.. some lacing. Initial smell is good... lots and lots of fresh green hops and a light carmel malt. Palate is middle of the road. Flavor is nicely hoppy a light citrus bitter but a bit watery. Thanks to joel for sharing.

08.06.05 Bomber. Light brown mud, light brown head fades. Hugely floral and citrus aromas followed by a gritty and earthy hop backing. Malts are messy and sweet, fitting better with the murky appearance and "Slopbucket" name than any idea of elegance in a brown ale. Lots of cookie dough, tea, dirt, and grapefruit. Dry and short finish. Huh.
