Mar 6, 2003 The brewer's new description of this seasonal reads: "The Boxcar Brown Ale is a medium bodied ale with a deep brown color and a distinct bitterness. Not to be compared to an English Nut Brown Ale, such as Newcastle. The American Brown is an extremely young beer style developed in the 1970's by homebrewers with a love for hoppy ales. The Boxcar has a 5.4% ABV." I can vouch for the bitterness, which dominated my impression of the beer, but I only had a sample. If the beer is still there when I next visit Titletown, I'll give a pint a try.
