American Brown Ale 6 º

Mikkeller

This American Brown Ale is a robust and assertive interpretation, showcasing a deep, roasty core defined by rich chocolate and subtle espresso notes. True to the Mikkeller signature, the substantial malt foundation is aggressively punctuated by a firm hop presence that brings citrus and resinous layers to the forefront. Intricate hints of licorice weave through the mid-palate, adding savory complexity to the toasted nut and caramel base. The balance leans toward a persistent, lingering bitterness that cleanses the palate, delivering a modern, high-impact sensory experience that remains smooth and velvety while highlighting its dark, toasted malt character.

Appearance. Deep mahogany to very dark brown (approx. 30 SRM) with ruby highlights. Excellent clarity. Topped by a persistent, dense, light tan head with moderate lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity featuring prominent dark chocolate and roasted malt. Distinct notes of cold-brew coffee and anise are present. The hop character is assertive, showcasing citrusy and piney American hop notes that complement the rich, toasted malt bouquet. Low fruity esters.

Taste. Initial impression of rich chocolate and roasted malt, followed by savory licorice and dark coffee. Medium-high bitterness provides a sharp counterpoint to the malty-sweet start. Hop flavors are moderate and resinous. The finish is medium-dry and lingering, balancing toasted grain with a clean, hop-driven bitterness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate to moderately-high. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, consistent with its strength.
