Mikkeller Jackie Brown

Mikkeller
Brewed at De Proefbrouwerij
Style: Brown Ale
Copenhagen V, Denmark

Ruby chestnut color with a very tall, lasting dark beige head. Chocolate, darker malts, and plenty of hops. There is something about the hops and malt combination in a brown that is not that appealing to me. Crisp and clean feeling liquid, nearly lager like. Somewhat toasty and nutty malt taken back by Herbal and slightly citric hops bitterness. Things stay bitter will into the linger. I slight return of malt would have been pleasant. As it is an interesting hoppy brown brew.

500 ml bottle poured a lightly hazy reddish brown with a lasting tan head. Aromas of toasted malt, cocoa, citrus and pine. Palate was medium bodied and smooth with a dry finish. Flavors of toasted malt, pine, grapefruiut rind, light cocoa and light earthiness with a smooth lingering bitter finish.
One of the beszt browns I’ve tasted! Too hoppy for most I’m sure but a true Hopheads delight.

500 ml. A see-through, dark copper-brown brew with a four-finger head that sticks everywhere. Aroma is big hops - citrus, floral, and resin notes. Flavor is similar, with a bit of cocoa and toasted nut flavors able to battle through the hops. Some nice roasted notes finally show up in the aftertaste about 8 oz. into this one. Smooth, near-medium body finishes slightly dry and tingly. Mixed feelings about how to rate this nice-enough tasting session ale. It disappoints a bit as a brown due to the lack of maltiness, but is pretty good if I thought I was in the mood for a heavier APA.

Thanks to Badgerben. Thin dark brown with little head. Slightly roasted cocoa aroma. Very thin body. Coffee, bitter chocolate and hops in the taste. The aftertaste leaves a dry chalkiness.

Dark brown color with a thin head. Dark chocolate aroma, plenty of nuttiness and English-earthy hops. Strong nut taste, predominantly walnut. Some chocolate and coffee. The hops are pretty strong for a Brown Ale and they seem to be floral/Noble hops. Quite a chalky feel. Good.

Massive amounts of hops contribute hints of grapefruit. Chocolate and roast, with hints of peanut butter and butter toffee on the finish. Similar in character to Alpha Klaus, with out being as roasty and dark. A really nice example of what Mikkeller is capable of. This beer is very impressive.

oh yeah, brown ale?? more like a stout to me.. but tasty and watery at the same time, interesting combo.

Dark brown with medium beige head. Aroma is sweet with roasted malt, chocolate, coffee and hops. Flavor is sweet with chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, liquerice and a nice hoppy end. Brilliant brown ale.
