Commercial Description:
Brewed by Mikkeller at Ørbæk Bryggeri, Ørbæk, Denmark.
Mikkellers tribute to the foul-mouthed stewardess Jackie Brown from Quentin Tarantino’s movie of the same name. It’s a roasty, chocolaty brown ale with hints of coffee and licorice. Being a Mikkeller brew the malts are inevitably complimented by a great amount of hop bitterness, aroma and flavour.
Ingredients : Water, malt (pale, munich, cara-pils, cara-crystal, brown and chocolate), flaked oats, hops (nugget, simcoe and centennial) and ale yeast.

Bottle from BottleTrek.com. Does Mikkeller make a bad beer? Pours a clear mahogany with a thick frothy tan head. Roasted malt aroma and hops. Besides the roastiness in the flavor, it also has subtle hints of chocolate and toffee. What is so good and unique about this beer is the hoppiness. I was not expecting it, but it somehow works. I am not a big fan of brown ales, but this is a very remarkable brew.

Bottle. Poured a deep brown body with nice head. Aroma is roast, chocolate, hops. Flavor is chocolate, grassy hops, roasted coffee and sweet. Possibly best brown ale I ever had.

Bottle from Cracked Kettle. Dark brown body. Foamy head. Roasted coffee aroma. Taste is also real roasty with chocolate well-pronounced. Also taste of coffee, toffee and licorice. Very creamy texture. Quite bitter as well. Enjoyable.

Pours a ruby-tinged mahogany into a shaker. Off-white micro head expands to tophat the rim. Smoked malt aromas. Crisp sour caramel with a smoky malt middle and a lasting citrus hop finish. Not a lot of balance. The bitter finish tends to overwhelm the tastebuds after a while.

HUGE thanks to GMCC2181 for sending this one my way. I’d waited a long time to try this! I was a little weirded out by the fact that this is one hoppy brown ale! I expected something more subtle, but this brew was crazy (in a good way). Texture is very thin, but with a thick head. Aroma is hops and stale coffee, like you are reusing a glass you drank an IPA in (which I thought I was at first!). No lacing. This one has a lot going on, nice notes of malt, coffee, and hops. I would say this is a "Coffee IPA" if I was describing it to someone. I would like to try it again sometime. When you absolutely positively got to drink every motherfu*king brown ale in the room...accept no substitutes! Thanks again Gabe!!

16.9 oz bottle. Clear reddish brown with a pocked bone head and lacy rings. Nose is pine-grapefruit with a musty, doughy sweetness. Medium light and resiny with a sprinkling of carb. Taste is grapefruit but not much more. Woody drying. I could not find the Brown in this ale.

Very good brew, but seems more like a sweet stout than a Brown ale. Cool bottle with good story and high print quality. Dark brown colour and fine brown head. Very powerfull burnt and hoppy smell. I always fell like a dog before sipping. Burnt aroma of coffee and toast, and the kicking hops. The hop aroma is piney and grassy, and the beer lacks a little sweetness. Very dry finish due the hops.

This is how to make a brown ale. Solid warming malt presence, rich chocolate roasty flavors. Hops enough to balance but not distract from the malts. Smooth and creamy palate.
