Woodstock Inn Brewery North Woodstock, NH
Notes:
English Brown Ale
12oz Bottle
4.3% ABV
25 IBU
Appearance:
Pours a mahogany brown color…a dense color, I can see a few bubbles
hugging the glass…head is light khaki and remains a thin, wispy layer on top,
but does perk up with a couple of swirls…(3.5/5)
Smell: Nutty
brown malts, English musky yeast and a light oatmeal up front…very malt heavy,
but its nice…I’m also picking up some more graininess and just a hint of like
dark cherry cake, it’s kinda doughy…it’s not a robust smell, just very earthy,
rich and malty…nice…(4/5)
Taste:
Yum! Straight earthy, nutty
brown malts mixed with a flavorful (English I presume) yeast strain that
combines making a tasty beverage…there’s a mild dark cherry sweetness that
springs this somewhat tame brown ale into life…there’s a mild roasted flavor,
but it’s certainly not overdone…the more I drink, I get the slightest hint of
light lemony/grassy hops bitterness…very subtle though…this thing is simple,
but very tasty…(4/5)
Mouthfeel: Light to medium body…there’s medium
carbonation that fluffs up brings rich brown, mildly sweet malts to the
palate…a very clean brown ale, nothing heavy about this…maltiness lingers into
the after taste…(3.75/5)
Overall: Browns aren’t always my favorite, but I’m really
digging this one…really a perfect brown ale for the summer, flavorful, light
and a bit lower in ABV…this is my first time having this brew and I have to say
I’m impressed…well worth a six pack pickup…this brew would fit well with an
afternoon of drinking on a Memorial Day Sunday…cheers to that! (4/5)
Score:
(3.89/5)
