Tavern Brown Ale
Alewerks Brewing Company

This is a good brown ale and it goes well with food. Had it from draft poured into a shaker pint glass. Clear brown color with good initial head and good lacing. Roasted malt smell and taste. Toffee and a bit of caramel. Earthy bitter finish. Enjoyed it with my nachos.

A oldy and a goody from Alewerks. Appearance presents a amber color with mild head at first pour. Taste is a decent malt and mild roast with more hops than a traditional brown. A decent beer.

 

 

Nice brew. Gift on my birthday. Fine choice.

 

It's all in the ingredients. Alewerks utilizes six malts, English yeast, and then Americanizes with USA hops. Mild roast, significant hop presence making it more American than British. Nice solid effort.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pours tawny chestnut with small head that disappears quickly. Malty nose with a touch of earth. Brown sugar and brown bread notes dominate with a hint of earth from the hops. Medium bodied. A bit too much carbonation for my liking, but as it warms and settles down, the flavors meld. Very little hop bitterness but finish is relatively dry. Some residual sweetness. Good.

12oz bottle into the Avery Barrel Glass

Look: Pours a clear-but-so-dark-it's-opaque mahogany. A thin off-white head dissipates quickly into a thin ring of foam, leaving some spotty lacing behind on the glass.
Smell: Toasty malt, dark bread, brown sugar/caramel. Maybe a hint of vanilla and wood in there.
Taste: Much like the aroma, with a bit less sweetness and a bit more roasty bitterness. Still sweeter than it is bitter.
Feel: On the thin side of medium bodied, middle-to-low carbonation, very tiny bubbles.
Overall: Very solid brown ale, and I've come to expect no less from Alewerks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

From the marker above the UPC code: "BOTTLED ON 5 03 2018"

Appearance: It has a brown body that, although dark, shows a bit of haze. It has a short light khaki head with small ripples of foam. The short head recedes to a very short cap that has good retention.

Aroma: There is a light bit of caramel aroma.

Taste: It has a bit of a minty flavor up front which is mixed with the faint taste of cedar and just a touch of pine at the end.

Mouthfeel: The beer is surprisingly dry. It has a medium-light body and decent carbonation. It has moderate drinkability. No bitterness.

Overall: This beer trends mostly towards hop flavor, which is pretty nice, but it misses out on a lot of the supporting malt character. It's drinkable and enjoyable but it isn't something that will drive me back to it. It's worth trying once to see if you like it but it's not something I would rush to recommend.

 

Smooth brown ale. Not my typical flavor but it was easily consumed.

A-Pours a nice dark color with a nice head and lacing
A-Aroma has nice malty hints
T-The taste follows the nose with a nice malty flavor
M-A medium bodied well carbonated beer
O-A nice Brown Ale

From the bottle it pours a legitimate brown with virtually no head, possibly as it is a bit cold. Scent is roasted malt. Taste follows nose, being well balanced and tasty. Nice!
