Cookie Bear
Four Quarters Brewing Co.

 

This one pours a somewhat dark brown color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like caramel, oatmeal cookies, dark fruit, cinnamon, vanilla, breadiness, and some light chocolate.

This is a little bit thin, but the "adjuncts" are spot on in invoking the flavors of an oatmeal raisin cookie. It's got a great sweet and oat-heavy breadiness, with sweet raisin juiciness, light spicy cinnamon, and a bit of vanilla creaminess. The flavors are all balanced together fairly well.

This is fairly creamy, but a little bit thin, with a good level of drinkability.

I think Four Quarters flies way under the radar. They make some great beer.

Poured into a glass mug, the appearance was a nice looking brown color with a sturdy finger's worth of white foamy head that slid off at a mild pace. Some lace ran here and there.
The aroma had a wonderful blend of raisins, cinnamon, vanilla, some milk chocolate, light caramel then ended with a little bit of dark chocolate.
The flavor took the aroma in sweetly with a delicate spicy tone coming from the cinnamon. Light on the vanilla then had an aftertaste like a cookie.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fairly nice sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt on par. Nice smooth touch on the tongue.
Overall, a really nice brown ale leaning towards feeling like one is drinking an oatmeal raisin cookie.

Look - clear reddish brown with a monster head
Smell - light notes of malt, vanilla, cinnamon and dark fruit
taste - malt and cinnamon most prominent
feel - I guess I was hoping this would be a porter, as I find it a bit too thin.

Pours a deep chestnut brown with a small head that lasts a while before giving way to a cap and collar. Lacing is pretty good.

Smell is what you are expecting based on description, vanilla, raisin and cinnamon. I also get typical brown aroma or chocolate and roast malt.

Flavor is similar to the nose, but I find the vanilla a bit muted, while the brown ale elements move up. A nice flavor that indeed does remind me of cookies.

Feel is medium weight and carbonation, with a finish that is not dry, but has a quick finish.

A nice brown ale with nice elements added to make it very interesting. I quite like this suggest if given the chance.

dang this is good! there is a big dose of cinnamon and soft vanilla, blending perfectly with toasty malts, slight smoke, and chocolate. mouthfeel is light-medium but super lush. fucking perfectly executed and huge complex flavor for 6%.
