Gharnatah Bastitania
American Brown Ale 3.5 º
This sessionable American Brown Ale presents a deep dark copper hue, emphasizing a toasted malt profile derived from rich caramel malts. The aroma and flavor profile are characterized by a distinct sweetness reminiscent of toffee and a unique licorice note, which highlights the brewer's intent for a beer inspired by the Bastitania region. While lighter in alcohol at 3.5% ABV, it maintains the stylistic hallmark of chocolate and nutty undertones balanced by a moderate hop presence. The finish is remarkably fresh and clean, inviting repeated sips without the weight of a standard brown ale, yet retaining the robust toasted character that defines the style.
Appearance. Dark copper to light brown (SRM 18–25). Clear to brilliant clarity. Displays a moderate, persistent off-white head with light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate malty-rich aroma featuring prominent caramel, toasted bread, and a distinct hint of licorice. Hop aroma is low with earthy and slightly citrusy notes. Fermentation is clean with very low fruity esters.
Taste. Initial impression of malty sweetness with layers of caramel and toasted nuts. A specific licorice flavor emerges mid-palate, complemented by a subtle chocolate background. Bitterness is moderate, providing a balanced counterpoint to the malt richness. The finish is medium-dry and refreshing, lacking any harsh roasted or acrid character.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body, reflecting its sessionable strength. Moderate carbonation provides a crisp but smooth texture. No alcohol warmth and zero astringency.
