Insurgente Brown

On tap at the Brickwood on 02/15/19.

 

 

 

 

 

Served vigorously in a nonic pint, it pours a dark copper with a red hue, clear, with a two-finger light brown head, sudsy, with excellent retention that gradually deflates until it becomes a one-finger head, permanent. The lacing is beautiful.

The bouquet is an interesting mix of citric, piney notes and roasted malts. Toffee, caramel and coffee are very present too. It's a shame that it lacks assertiveness.

The flavor follows the nose. Upfront you get a high carbonation, and a flavor containing the hoppy citric, earthy notes, roastiness and some malty sweetness. A herbaceous note, slight chocolate and brown sugar are present too. The caramel and coffee then enter the frame, with a growing bitterness that becomes strong when it reaches the aftertaste, which is long.
Medium to light body, smooth, nice carbonation.

A very nice and complex beer.

Bottled on: 7/10/15.

Pours an opaque super dark brown with a foamy dark khaki head that settles to a partial film on top of the beer. Foamy rings of lace line the glass on the drink down. Smell is of toasted malt, roasted nut, earth, pine needle, and slight burnt rubber aromas. Taste is much the same with burnt toast, roasted nut, and earthy hop flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of toast and hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer that is tasty, but the slight burnt rubber aroma is a bit unpleasant.

Serving type: bottle.

Light brown color with a thick beige head with good retention and leaving some laces.
Aroma with notes of creamy chocolate, piney and citrusy hops, cocoa and nuts.
Nice hoppy flavor with notes of piney and peppery hops, roasted, grainy and toasted malts, “jabuticaba”, cocoa, tea bags, nuts, earth, chalk, American yeast and its spices and some coffee. Not really sweet. Quite dry aftertaste with a roasted and hop bitterness.
Light body with appropriate carbonation.
Very nice American Brown Ale (bordering Brown IPA under the new classification?), it is sure a native speaker although Mexican born. Clear hoppy forward and still with a preponderant roasted malt base. I could drink this any day. Well done.

 

 

L- Dark brown with a creamy head. Great lacing.
S- Burnt caramel and slight grains.
T- Toasted caramel with coffee notes. Hoppy aftertaste.
F- Smooth, a bit watery.
O- Very nice beer, would be better with a rich feel.

 

Quite handsome stuff, with clouds of foam on the golden brown brew. Very fizzy in the mouth but it's the way I like it, especially with these brown concoctions. Faint aroma of roasted barley.

Dry and malty at the same time. A slight dose of caramel. Some herbal tasting hops. Rather bitter aftertaste. Thin and leafy green flavors as you sip.

Not something I want to drink again, but I'm glad to taste a nouveau Baja brew From the 22 oz bottle purchased at Bottleworks in North Park.

 

 

Almost opaque dark mahogany with a thick beige head.
A little roasty. A little toasty. Some cocoa caramel. Hint of pine.
Lighter than medium crisp mouthfeel. Nice dry bitter finish.
Could have used more of a creamier body but I do like the aroma and flavor.
