Maker: Dark Horse Brewing Co., Marshall, Michigan
Style: Brown Ale
ABV: ???
Appearance: Big pillowy head that takes a while to calm down. The body is chocolate brown.
Nose: Sweet and a little fruity and yeasty.
On the palate: Full-bodied. Nice balance of sweetness and bitterness. Like chocolate chip cookies chased with a shot of espresso. Closer to a porter than to a typical brown ale.
Finish: Roasty bitterness mitigated by some background sweetness.
Parting Words: Dark Horse is a brewery known for its ugly labels, and this one is one of the ugliest I’ve ever seen. It looks like it was drawn by a 6 year-old child with serious psychological problems. What’s inside more than makes up for it, though. This is a well-executed brown ale that goes well with beefy spicy food or on its own. Recommended.
