Mikkeller Jackie Brown

50cl bottle from Wine Country SHV LA. Deep chestnut color with a frothy off white head. Nice earthy toasted malt aroma with some fresh hops and cocoa. Medium body and very smooth. Nice mocha, roasted nutty flavors here with a lingering bitter coffee taste to finish. Pretty good brown ale.

Dark brown pour and an absolutely gorgeous creamy white head that lasts. Nutty and malty aroma with some chocolate and piney hops. Mouthfeel is somewhat creamy and high carbonation. This one has a lot of hop bitterness up front, pine and grapefruit. Middle reveals a more roasted/coffee character. Bitter finish, lingering coffee, some residual pine/citrus hop flavors. A very good brown.

Cloudy nut brown colour. Rich chocolatey malt nose is lightly toasty and fairly nutty. Full body up front, but gets thin and harsh at the end, turning the toasty chocolatey malts into astringent burnt toast. This much hop needs more sugar.

Bottle. Aromas of coffee and chocolate. Black body with creamy off white head. Full bodyied brew with the creamy chcocolate flavor. Coffee also stood out in the flavor as well. Little biter in the end but this on was smooth on the palate. Good brew.

This brown ale poured into a dimple mug with a creamy tan head and a caramel malt aroma. The flavor is chocolate and roasted malt with a bitter hop finish. The brew is quite complex yet well-balanced. A pleasure to drink.

Very nice dark brown yet see through pour, with a nice off white head with some nice lacing on my glass. Nice roasted malt aroms with a good dose of hops, and a touch of chocolate, and even some tobacco. Oh wow.....the flavour is incredible. Lots of hops, but the sweet malt, and chocolate stick around with some very nice coffee undertones. The typical brown ale caramel flavour is there, and it mingles with the chocolate, and the hops beautifully. I could drink this all day, this is an incredible beer! another triumph for Mikkeller!

Dark brown, almost black pour with a nice fluffy white head. Basically a hopped up brown ale. Lots of piny dry hops on the aroma. The typical malty nuttiness I expect from a brown is there but the hops dominate. The flavor is much more balanced. You get lots of chocolate and bitter roast, maybe a touch of molasses. The hops are there to balance the flavor, and linger on the aftertaste. Best brown I’ve ever had.

Pours a deep chesnut brown with a huge frothyu beige head and nice lacing. Aroma is medium sweet caramel, yeast, chocolate, light raisin and nutty. Flavor is caramel, raisin, herbal, grapefruit, doughy yeast and smoke. Finishes with a nice bitter chocolate. Low carbonation, light-medium body, creamy texture.
