2oz “grunt” filled at the brewery for $5. The alcohol percentage is approximate. I was told it was 8 point something, but I can’t remember it exactly, so I put 8.5 to split the difference. This was described as an “Imperial Brown Ale” that was brewed with a huge amount (200 LBS, IIRC) of cranberry sauce as, more or less, an experiment.
Hazy, dark amber coloration. There was an inch or so of sudsy, beige-colored foam after a rough pour. Spotty lace.
The nose is dominated by the cranberry sauce, giving it a fruity aroma that is both sweet and tart. There are notes of dark malt, but they are way in the background. No hops scents make themselves noticeable.
Smooth, tart and sweet describe this beer. There’s a mild, brown sugary maltiness at the beginning that then gives way to a tart cranberry taste. The high alcohol content is mostly unnoticeable, though a little bit of warming alcohol creeps in as it warms up.
Medium bodied, but with a slightly watery mouthfeel.
An interesting Holiday seasonal beer that I feel could be made more interesting by increasing the malt bill. Although the dark maltiness of a brown ale is notieceable at the beginning, it’s mostly a vehicle for the cranberry sauce. I’d be interested in trying a stout version of this, where the malts are a little more assertive and there’s more of a contrast between them and the cranberry sauce.
