Tasting Notes (2)

Notes:

Pours very dark orange with one finger of foam; a 2mm cap persists indefinitely. Aroma is bread yeast and sweet grain, more grain than bread. Flavor is a slightly sweet nutty bread that, on the breath, has some level of yeast phenolic. Body is medium, maybe a touch denser than medium, and there's a little nucleation sharpness. The sweetness has dropped considerably from when I last tried it and the beer is crystal clear now. I quite like this beer now and feel that the little bit of age on it has made it a great beer. I don't like it as much as the America brown ales I've made, but this is quite good. 4 stars.

Notes:

Pours almost orange brown, but closer to brown, with a finger of foam. Aroma is sweet wheat bread and a touch of yeast. Flavor is sweet at first and then morphs into a wheat bread with a touch of toffee, ending with a brown wheat toast flavor. Body is medium with a little nucleation sharpness. Overall this beer is okay, just too sweet for me as I prefer nutty and bread flavors rather than those derived from Crystal malts. I think it fits well into the BJCP guidelines for a British Brown Ale though. I'll give it 3 stars, but only because it is well made.
