Amos Moses Brown Ale
Country Boy Brewing

Always happy to see this one on tap, especially after a long, sweaty day in the Red River Gorge.

 

At the brewery in a flight. Brown-Porter hybrid. Delicious!

Loving the Country Boy beers!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On draft (into a growler) at Ashland Beverage Centre in Ashland, KY. Served in a pint glass. Pours a chocolate brown but settles into a dark, dark brown in the glass - almost black. Brownish-red hues are visible as I look through the glass when held to light. A nice, dense 2 finger head of vanilla colored foam sits on top. A nice, sweet aroma of caramel, spice, vanilla, ginger, and faint coffee on the nose. Medium weight, and a very smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Chocolate and roasted coffee beans are present up front on the taste, along with sweet notes of cream and vanilla about middleways. Finishes smooth, but still quite lively as it goes down. There's a bittersweet chocolate and roasted malt on the aftertaste.

Overall, very good. The Country Boys seldom disappoint, and this is one of the best brown ales I've had. There's nothing strong about this beer, from the aroma, to the taste, to the abv. It's all very well blended and balanced into a subtle, yet incredibly well-done brown ale. Severely underrated, in my opinion.
