Carriage Barn Series: Addy Brown
Hogback Mountain Brewing

This was poured into a mug. The appearance was semi-dark burnt brown color with a slim finger’s worth of white to off white head that dissipated at a nice pace. Filmy to foamy off white lace almost covers the sides in rings. The smell starts off with some sweet nutty/toffee/caramel malt up front and then some earthy and piney hop bitterness. The taste was basically the same with a clean sweet sliding aftertaste and finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a pretty good sessionability about it. Carbonation rides fairly light. Piney bitterness comes back to adequately make a decent effort for some harshness on my tongue. Overall, somewhat of a cross between an English brown ale and an American one, maybe a touch closer to the English side.
