Mikkeller Jackie Brown

Bottle. Deep garnet body with a medium-sized frothy whitish head. The aroma is full of almonds, chocolate, and coffee roast. Tastes very roasty in a very well balanced palate. The hop character is quite nice too and quite resiny. Coffee and toffee notes are present at opportune times as well as some of that nutty almond that was in the aroma. Very drinkable!

hazy brown, wispy beige head, huge chocolate aroma with lots of fresh citrus hops, well hopped rich dry chocolate flavor, light bitter finish considering all of the hops in the aroma and flavor, not a lot of complexity but a lot of flavor and very drinkable

660ml bottle, 13th August 2007. Pours a very dark brown with a light brown head. Good aroma of chocolatey vanilla. The flavour is a good mix of roasted malt, chocolate and cocoa. Palate is very smooth. Overall, a rich beer, full of flavour.

Bottle. Redbrown with medium pale brown head. Aroma begins with notes of hopps and then coffee takes over. Nice. Taste: Coffe dominating wiht some roasted malts as well. Long bitter hopdominated finish. It doesn´t taste like any other brown ale and probably isn´t true to style, but very nice indeed. Some Mikkeller beers seems to be to hoppy, but in this one the hops is helping a lot at making a great beer.

66 cl bottle from Bieropholie, served at cellar temp in a tulip glass. JN21/07.

App.: Deep red-copper, clear, decent light mocha head. Aroma: Skunky dark coffee, some green hops, coffee and dark chocolate. Palate: Medium-full body, moderate carbonation and slight astringency. Flav.: Green coffee beans, dark chocolate, French roast coffee, light nuttiness; finish is dry with decent lingering bitterness.

Dang girl! Git down witchyo bad self...

Bottle (660ml) shared with HogTownHarry and biegaman -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a cloudy deep ruby-brown with an average size frothy off-white head. Aroma: Oh yeah, that smells great! Coffee, dark chocolate, roasted malt and lots of green resiny hops. Flavour’s just as good and oh so tasty: roasted malt, lots of coffee, chocolate, lots of hops and a long dry bitter finish. Medium bodied. This is simply awesome, it’s in my top 5 best Brown Ales ever for sure! Can Mikkelller do no wrong?

Thanks to Christian for this one! This produces a tan head over a medium brown body. Dusty malt and hops aroma. Chocoalte malt flavor with a dry hop finish. Moderate bitterness which is high for a brown ale - but to the better and this balances it out quite nicely. Nice take on the style.

Full, off-white head over dark ruby-brown body. Dark chocolates, fruits and alcohol in aroma. Smoky body, chocolate and then freshening hops at the end. Beautiful balance and the aftertaste mixes smoke, coffee and hops.
