Mikkeller Jackie Brown

Pours a pretty brown with solid head. Tastes like chocolate covered aspirin. Strange. Sort of good, but the finish definitely could use some work. Solid mouthfeel, nothing special though. Pretty good beer, kind of disappointing though.

Bottle at Haket, Gothenburg. Red/brown color with a beige head. Aroma: Am. hops, roasted malt, chocolate, very hoppy. Flavor: Rosted malt, caramel, light chocolate, hops, citrus, aspirin. Mostly very hoppy. Dry finish. I want more maltiness in a brown ale.

Very roasty...very roasty. Tan head sits over deep brown body. Nice lacing on the glass as I drank it down. Smell was minimal though some kind of unknown dark clove scent was discernable amongst the coffee and roasted bean flavour. Quite bitter and a hint of smoke in the finish. Not bad, yet somehow not super great.

Bomber purchased at D’vines in Washington, D.C..

Pours dark, clear ruby brown, big fluffy off white head. Aroma is smoke, chocolate, coffee, malt, vanilla, pine, anise. This has quite a big aroma for a beer that looks like it will have a weak body.

Flavor is hops, pine, caramel, anise, some syrup, bitter chocolate and coffee. I am impressed with the flavor. There’s nothing weak about the body of this beer; looks can be deceiving my friends.

The aroma is coffee, the taste is creamy sweat coffee. Dark brown. Do you like sweet coffee? This is it. Roasty. Drinkable and refreshing on a hot day. Cocoa is distant,as is licorice. It’s hoppy-it’s a portery stouty brown ale, with low bitterness.

Not a huge fan of this one. Pours a dark brown with a decent off-white head. Some lacing. Aroma is dominated by the hops...too much for a Brown in my opinion. Flavor, again is overly hoppy and bitter, with some burnt malts coming through at the end. Palate was a bit watery. Overall I was fairly disappointed in this one. Reminded me more of an American Pale than a Brown.

Bottle in trade from BlackForestCO. Thanks dude. Pours dark brown/maroon with a beige lasting head. Smell is toasty, nutty mildly sweet with maybe a light smattering of coffe. Taste is fairly bitter for a brown and is nicely malty and nutty without being sweet or overly simple. Medium body with a fair amount of carbonation. Actually fairly hoppy in the finish. Nice beer.

66 cl bottle. Hopheads´ tasting 22. august. Brown reddish color, nice beige/tan head. Aroma is lots and lots of malt and hops. Flavor is sweet malty and hoppy, coffee and chocolate. Well - this is one of the reasons why I love Mikkeller!
