Honey Brown Concept Ale

This brew began as a Northern Brewer recipe called the Carabou Slobber…finish the boil off with a quart of honey and you get this amazing frankenstein. The fermentation process was the most aggressive we have ever seen. By the activity of the airlock you would assume the contents of the primary fermentation was boiling on the stove.

Color Rating: ★★☆☆☆
A dark cloudy hazel hue. There is some distinct floaters at the bottom of the bottle…Yeast is yummy though so we are not complaining. This cloudy beer has “a hunk of crap sitting in the middle of it” -DJ Shorty.

Aroma Rating: ★★★½☆
Honey and brown sugar combined with definative banana scent…a little spice or metalic aroma is evident to the untrained nose. Do we have a faint paint smell? – Grubby

Head Rating: ★★★★★
This is no joke, the beer is well carbonated. The frothy foam head will hang out for some time, very merangish.

Flavor Rating: ★★★★☆
Dances off the tongue, banana and honey prevail. Nearing a belgian style. Mouth coating body, leaning on full bodied and more viscous than most. No bitterness or hop profile to speak of. The carbonation cleans the palate.

Finish Rating: ★★★☆☆
Soothing ending, with a smooth sweet taste that makes you wait for your next sip. Watchout for the electric kick…we should have measured the alcohol level after cooling the wart.. It’s like time travel Thannk you parrot
