Mikkeller Jackie Brown

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

(bottle, 33cl) Darkest brown colour with a light ruby shine and a small beige foamy head. Sweet and deep strongly roasted malt profile in the nose with notes of chocolate, coffee, liquorice, nettles and a tinge of fruity hops in the back. Moderately sweet and roasty bitter flavour, medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Quite dry mouthfeel, robust roast-malty taste with notes of milky mocha, chocolate, liquorice and an aromatic presence of subtle fruity hops in the background; pretty dry and roasty bitter and hoppy finish. Very nice, makes me think of a slightly diluted Imp. Stout. 15.XI.09

Robe brune surmontée d’une mousse beige épaisse qui s’estompe. Arômes de noisettes, de café et de caramel. Saveurs de noisettes, de caramel, de café et de houblon amérisant herbacé.

Pours a clear dark brown with a big frothy head leaving nice lacings. Slightly sour. Big hoppiness mixed with a lot of coffee and dark chocolate. Full bodied and very strong flavoured.

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

A Mes rate: Draught at Ølfestival 2007. Redish brown amber colour with a good tan head. Usual surprising hoppy note to the nose with some nice alcoholic maltyness and German like cereal hints. Hops are there in the flavour too but not quite so upfront giving centre stage instead to some wonderful roasty coffee character and chewy rubber. Bitterness comes in like a punch at the finish. Awesome. Another cracker from Mikkeller.

Courtesy of kmweaver. Clear dark amber/brown with a small beige head. The nose is sweet and hoppy with caramel, toffee, citrus and pine. The flavor is lightly sweet, moderately bitter with grapefruit, pine, toffee and light roast. Medium body is round with moderate carbonation.

Big frothy tan head that lasts and lasts. Also leaves a decent lace on its way down the glass. Was a little taken a back by the hops at first but then I remembered it was a Mikkeller brew. Aroma is a little citrus hop and some roasted chocolate malt. Pretty unique and interesting combo. Chocolate flavors on the front palate and then the citrusy hop finish are pretty interesting and unconventional for a brown ale but work well here.

660. Thanks, Maria! Opaque mahogany with rubied, luminescent highlights. Dense, moussy, bubbly off-white head. Not much lace. Rich peppery toasted brown bread nose. Medium body with soft, tightly carbed attack. Rich molasses and sharp salty cat litter mid-palate. Long peppery finish. Awesome brown.
