Moosejaw Brown Ale

On tap at the brewpub on 6/22/07 as English Brown Ale: Barely transparent dark mahogany pour has a clingy-lacing light tan head. Aroma of musty dark grain with a hint of tartness. Body is very thin and faintly sweet with hints of nuts and dough, but otherwise pretty bland.

On tap at the brewpub in Wisconsin Dells as "Moosejaw English Brown Ale," pours a clear dark brown brew with a slowly dissolving off white head with excellent lacing. Aroma has characters of molasses, milk chocolate, chestnuts and a touch of toffee. Taste is like light chocolate, full body, lightly carbonated, light finish with a dry hop aftertaste. Almost a character of a porter without the dark opacity body.

Nice looking beer. Dark brown with a nice tan head. Somewhat bland aroma. Flavor is very nice and spicy, well balanced. Finishes with a big hop bite

Nice looking, not much aroma. A little chocolate malt up front and a little bitter hop in the finish. Bland throughout. Not a brown ale fan, so it’s hard for me to be unbiased here, but I don’t find much to get excited about.

GABF 2002: Light chocolate aroma. Deep brown colour. Lght chocolate flavour to start tappering off to blandness with a late bitter resurgence.

Great nutty flavor with a coffee hint but all the dead animal heads on the wall at the pub kept distracting me from truly enjoying this ale.

Nice color, pretty red. Too much malt. Pretty good brown ale for Wisconsin.
