Mikkeller Jackie Brown

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

Burnt caramel aroma and light toast. Brown in color with a THICK, frothy and rocky head. Light black malts, toffee, peanuts and a zing of spicy, citric hops. Slight sourness is a minor detractions, but otherwise a definitive craft brew.

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.

Sample at JaBier’s refrigerator reduction tasting on 08/15/09. This brew is a murky dark brown-amber color with a medium beige head that recedes slowly. Stringy lacing on the glass. Coffee and citrusy hops in the nose as well as some roasted malt. Medium body with a flavorful blend of roasted coffee and malt flavors as well as brown sugar, chocolate and hops. The finish is roasty with a lingering hops aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

I want to give a big thanks to anders37 for this beer. This is a very good brown ale. it’s a murky brown pour with a thin head. The flavor is roasty with lots of cocoa powder. It finishes dry with some bitterness.

A dark clear brown ale with a thin moka head. A nice chocolate and hops aroma, pinhey hops, melding nicely with fudge and vanilla. In mouth, a good chocolate malt, good herbal hops, sustained bitterness. Rich and smooth.

Bottle pours black and ruby highlights with a monster creamy looking white head with clingy lace – interesting to look at the head/beer line as it is very distinct (not sure if this makes any sense, but it looks great this way). The aroma is hops, yeast, roasted darkness, smoke, and freshly pulled resinous ganja (in theory, not practice). The flavor has lots fresh tasting hops, anise, solid roasted malts, inevitable ale fruit notes, more bitterness, and just overall very delicious. This is an awesome Brown, but so hard to rate after the awesome beers I’ve rated this evening. Of note here are the hops that taste so fresh against the chocolate and coffee backbone. This is very interesting.

Aroma:nutty and chocolate,light hopy nose... Appearance:dark brown,huge head... Flavor:nutty,chocolate,good bitterness....

Dark brown pour and an absolutely gorgeous creamy white head that lasts. Nutty and malty aroma with some chocolate and piney hops. Mouthfeel is somewhat creamy and high carbonation. This one has a lot of hop bitterness up front, pine and grapefruit. Middle reveals a more roasted/coffee character. Bitter finish, lingering coffee, some residual pine/citrus hop flavors. A very good brown.
