Tasting from January 25, 2013
Appearance: Dark with reddish hues when held to the light. Creamy french mocha-vanilla-like head. Slightly lacy in the head.
Aroma: Chocolate, toffee, toasted vanilla almost
Taste: Chocolate, biscuit, bread, slight spice, balanced, bitterness kicks in the finish, slightly grassy in the finish, not heavy. Finish also leaves a very suttle lingering coffee taste in your mouth. Flavours have a pleasant fluffiness to them.
Overall impression: I enjoyed this american brown a lot. It's nicely balanced, the flavours seem to compliment each other well. No one flavour over powers the other.
Improvements: I think next time using magnum for bittering and use chinook at maybe 45 min or 35 min. maybe dry hop next time see what happens.
