Mikkeller Jackie Brown

Bottle: Brown pour with an amber hue and a thick dense tan head. Fairly hoppy in the nose along with nutty caramel (but not sweet) Nice and inviting. Body is fluffy, but does have a sharp carbonation. Could use less carbonation. Pretty dry flavor. Dark nut hints, a bit ashy. There’s some American hop notes giving a very subtle fruity undertone. The finish is long and has lots of bitterness which is mildly ashy. A pretty solid Brown Ale.

Flaske. Superdejlig brown ale. Stor duft af humle, og en flot brun farve med dejlige indbydende bobler i skummet. Dejlig balanceret smag der gør den fantastisk drikbar.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown, touch of red with a tan head. Aroma is a roasted chocolate, almost burnt quality to it. Flavor hits you with some hops and then again with the roasted malt. Finish is a bit more bitter than I expected, probably due to the burnt quality that was present througout.

Pours a clear brown with a thick tan head. A little bit of a sweet aroma. Some nice nutty flavor, some sweet malt, and a lot of bitterness. Interesting to have such a hoppy brown, the bitterness definitely wins out in the end.

Graduation weekend in Bloomington. Mikkeller Jackie Brown is a deep, ruby-brown color with an awesome khaki colored head. The aroma is very hoppy with hints of coffee. The flavor is light with hints of nut and a smooth yet bitter finish.

500 ml bottle. Aroma of citrus and pine. Unexpected. Dark mahogany color with a multifinger beige head. Medium body with coarse carbonation. Piney hop instantly followed by a lot of coffee. A little light stone fruit slips in, then it’s back to hops and coffee. Suddenly some chocolate is noticeable along the edges of my tongue. It’s very pleasing in the mouth. Expensive, but ya gotta pay what ya gotta pay - just not every day. The finish doesn’t quit - the flavors stay until the end. This is hop conquering malt, but in a refined, gentle manner. Lot of hop though.

Pours brown, with a medium, foamy light brown head. Smells of an assortment of nuts, a little roast, malt, and hops in the end. The flavor has a much bigger dosage of hops than I was expecting. The nutty and malty flavors get mixed in, but the hops seemed to be the most prominent of the bunch. Decent bitterness to it in the finish. Maybe a little too hoppy for a brown for me, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

a good brown ale nice chocolate malt flavors and actually a bit too hoppy for the style...and a bit too carbonated....but a nice beer....just not for 7 bucks
