Sprecher Pub Ale

16 oz bottle from Sandy’s Liquors. Nose of caramel and toastiness. Clear cherry brown with a medium beige head. Flavor is caramel, toasted wheat, and light background bitterness.

Pours dark red/brown. Creamy, frothy head. Roasted malt aroma. Faint roasted flavor with some bitterness. A little thin, but good.

Had at the brewpub after a tour of the place. Not bad, but just a normal plain brown ale.

A deep ruby brown color with a thick off-white head that quickly calms down. Aroma is very sweet with brown sugar, raisin and caramel malt. a slight nutty note, light chocolate malt also in there with a toffee finish. A strong toffee and caramel flavor at the front, plum middle and a nutty ending. Overall a decent offering by Sprecher but just not a beer I would enjoy on a regular basis.

16oz bottle. Pours brown with a small tan head. Aroma is very chocolately, with lots of malt, caramel, smoke, and dark fruit. Smell is very appealing. Taste starts off with lots of chocolate and smoke. Some dark fruit comes through as the beer warms. Backbone is of light caramel malt. Has a light smoky flavor that comes out as you drink more of it. Lingering taste of chocolate and malt. Moutghfeel is pretty thin, which is the only downside to this beer. Very drinkable, with a decent taste.

16 oz bottle. Brown, hints of ruby. Small light tan head. Not a very strong nose. Smooth on the palate. Flavor is toasty malt, light caramel flavor. Great balance with the hops. Nice beer, good session brew.

Bottle from Keg Liquor. Poured a clear brown color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate toasted malt, nut and fruit aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium balanced toasted sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Good drinkable brew.

500ml bottle. Translucent amber-brown color, minimal patchy head. Odd sweet caramel aroma. The taste comes off a little adjuncty, with some amber malt and a syrupy sweetness. Minimal sublime hops help you get this one down. Quite a poor example of a Brown Ale, even for Sprecher.
