Moo Brew Dark Ale

Brewed by Moorilla Estate
Style: Brown Ale
Berriedale, Tas, Australia

330ml bottle. Pours burnt toffee with a well-retained soft beige head. Lacing all the way down the glass. Burnt sugars, piney hops, brewed coffee and berries. Taste is coffee, cocoa and nuts. Has a full yeasty mouthfeel. I’m not getting either the thinness or sweetness that some others here have reported - mine’s dry and quite rich. It was at the porter end of brown ale. It would seem that this one has been a bit all over the shop, but this bottle is very good.

Bottle at chris_o’s "smash Kook’s granny tasting". Alround rating: Pale honey sweetness, roasty rich sweetness, though it is fairly thin, it remains balanced and drinkable enough.

Bottle. Very good beer. Aroma of coffee, dark fruit, and cola. Flavour is sweet, with some bitter notes. Medium body, with a silky feel in the palate. Dark brown colour, and thin white head that disappears.

Lovely dark ale on tap at the Wheatsheaf. Lots of dark brown roasty goodness if slightly thin body. Very nice and easy to drink by the fireplace

On tap. A nice roasty dark ale/porter. Moo Brew are really making some really interesting beers. this one is good but not great, well made with rich roast malt flavours.

Wouldnt call this a Brown Ale either but that aside it pours very dark brown but with a lovely clear brilliance, creamy mocha head. Lots of chocolate and coffee on the nose and plenty of dark malt coming through on tasting. Flavours fade out quickly. Perhaps a little over carbed for my taste. - updated note, Had another one of these and the carbonation is fine

[On-tap at the Local Taphouse in Sydney] FIrst of all, I don’t think that this is a brown ale. If it is, it is unlike any that I have had before...if I had to peg it as anything I would say that they were taking a stab at a scotch ale. Pours red witha big beige head. Nose is dusty, sweet caramel notes and quite a bit of nuttiness. Taste has a little alcohol, dry toasted malt towards the end, nuttiness again, a very slight touch of chocolate, canned tuna, and a huge amount of cracker as it warms. Medium mouthfeel, smooth, and has a fairly long, semi-dry finish. Really strange, and I just couldn’t shake the thought of a tuna hotdish after I recognized the canned tuna and cracker elements (which wasn’t as bad as it sounds, actually it was kind of enjoyable in an odd way).

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a medium white head. Chocolate malt aroma and notes of coffee. The flavour is chocolate malt and coffee. I think it’s too thin for a brown ale but it’s OK.
