May 7, 2008 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.

May 5, 2008 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.

May 4, 2008 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.

May 4, 2008 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.

Apr 30, 2008 Brown colored, moderate to large head, solid lacing and retention. Aroma is fairly hoppy with notes of chocolate, caramel and roast. Pretty big aroma and flavor. Clean, somewhat bitter mouthfeel. Big flavors, nice balance, not a lot of complexity. Enjoyable brown though.

Apr 30, 2008 500ml bottle. Pours the same color as every other brown ale with a nice big foamy off white head that has good retention and lacing. Aroma is piney, spicy hops on top of chocolate. Some roasty flavors evident as well. Also some of that normal brown ale smell - sorry I can’t be more specific. A definite nuttiness. Taste is very dry with an intense chalky cocoa-ness. Very unique. Pretty bitter, especially for the style. A little astringent. This one was weird. I don’t know how I feel about this one. I think the bitterness and the astringency and the dryness are a little harsh for the style. Interesting but not one of my favorite brown ales.

Apr 29, 2008 bottle - pours clear and ruby brown with big white head and some lacing; aromas mix of bubblegum and dirty feet; thin body with flavors of bitter hops, licorice and again, dirty feet; lots of carbonation and little sweetness; overall a dismal effort compared to what i’ve tried from mikkeller so far
