English Brown 6.6 º 35 IBU

Spore

This robust British Brown Ale offers a complex malt profile defined by rich toffee, toasted hazelnut, and light milk chocolate. The addition of rye introduces a distinctive spicy, grainy complexity that cuts through the malt sweetness, while the elevated 6.6% ABV provides a welcoming, integrated warmth. Subtle earthy hop notes linger in the background, supporting the bready character. It balances the traditional British caramel-forward approach with a rustic, spicy edge, resulting in a full-flavored experience that finishes with a refined, dry, and slightly peppery grain snap that invites the next sip.

Appearance. Dark reddish-brown with copper highlights (20 SRM). Exhibits a moderate, light tan head with good retention and fine lacing. Generally clear, though it may show a faint, characteristic rye-induced haze.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with dominant sweet toffee and nutty malt notes. The rye addition contributes a distinct spicy and grainy aroma. Low earthy hop character is present alongside subtle fruity esters reminiscent of dried dark fruits.

Taste. Moderate malt sweetness featuring caramel and toasted biscuit, followed by nutty and light chocolate flavors. The rye provides a spicy, peppery mid-palate bite. Bitterness is medium-low, ensuring a malt-focused balance without being cloying. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering toasted grain and spicy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a slightly slick or viscous texture from the rye. Carbonation is moderate. A noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present, reflecting the strength of the beer without becoming harsh.
