Brown Ale 7.2 º 80 IBU

AleBrowar

AleBrowar BaraCuda presents an intensified take on the American Brown Ale, leaning into its imperial stature with a robust profile. The grist, featuring Pale Ale, Brown malt, Chocolate malt, and Caramalt, creates a complex foundation of baker’s chocolate, toasted biscuit, and deep caramel. This malt richness is balanced by a firm bitterness and the floral, earthy, and slightly stone-fruit nuances of Palisade and Willamette hops. Płatki owsiane (flaked oats) and WLP028 Scottish Ale yeast contribute a silky texture and subtle dark fruit esters. The result is a bold, full-bodied ale that pushes style boundaries with its assertive hop presence and lingering, slightly roasted finish.

Appearance. Deep mahogany to dark brown (SRM 25–30). Persistent, light tan head with good lacing. Generally clear, though a faint haze may be present from the high protein content of the oats.

Aroma. Moderate to high malty-rich aroma with dominant notes of dark chocolate, nutty toffee, and toasted grain. Hop aroma is moderate, offering herbal and spicy Willamette character and a hint of floral apricot from Palisade. Very low fruity esters.

Taste. Rich initial malt flavors of chocolate and caramel supported by a distinct toasted quality from the Brown malt. Hop bitterness is medium-high and firm. Hop flavors are earthy and slightly floral. The finish is medium-dry with a balanced aftertaste of roasted malt and lingering hop resins.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a creamy, smooth texture derived from flaked oats. Moderate carbonation. A noticeable, well-integrated alcohol warmth reflects the higher gravity.
