With our American Brown Ale as the base, Mr. Brown has gone coconuts! has been the hit of the summer. The addition of coconut to this gorgeously coloured beer brings you to that time enjoying drinks on a summer patio or swimming up to that tropical bar.

At my lady Pamela's house; canned and chilled, 473mL in a pint glass. From Erie Street Gastropub's bottle shop in nearby downtown Windsor. Canned January 30/25. My third beer from the Ottawa, Ontario brewery, and for 2025. Admired by Gracie the cat...

473 mL can, Day 13 of Nita Beer's 2024 Advent Calendar; dated Oct 29 2024 and served slightly chilled.
Pours a murky brownish-amber colour with brick red highlights; it's capped with two fingers of billowing, foamy, light tan-coloured head that lasts for more than five minutes. Fantastic lace deposition, with a generous collar and lumpy, sudsy cap remaining on the surface. Lots of toasted coconut on the nose, with minor notes of brown sugar & toasted malts, as well as hints of date and nuttiness.
I like the flavour profile, but the aggressive carbonation is an annoying distraction for much of the session. I'm getting toasted grains, caramel and earthy hops underneath a massive wave of toasted coconut. Sweet finish with coconut continuing to dominate; it persists into the aftertaste, amidst suggestions of resiny hops and burnt sugars. Medium in body, with pointedly prickly carbonation that contributes to a very frothy mouthfeel with a significant bite; this facet significantly limits its drinkability.
Final Grade: 3.59, a B grade. Mr. Brown Has Gone Coconuts goes a little crazy with the coconut, but at least it has the courtesy to warn you beforehand. This brown ale is all about the coconut, all the time: rather unbalanced, plus this serving was very overcarbonated for some reason, but I can see why some folks might really love this. The coconut comes off as authentic, i.e. I'm not getting much of that suntan lotion weirdness, but there's still way too much of it for my tastes. In spite of its flaws (and my own bias), I enjoyed my glass and I think this is worth trying at least once.
