Avery Ellies Brown Ale

Brewed by Avery Brewing Company
Style: Brown Ale
Boulder, Colorado USA

I had this on tap at the Denver Airport. For what it lacks in appearance it makes up for in taste. Poured a dark chestnut brown with no - repeat no head. When it came out of the tap I thought it was flat. Well it wasn’t flat. On the contrary it was full of malt and nut flavor and just the right amount of hops. Finished full and a little bitter. Maybe they just don’t don’t know how to pour it right. Anyway, I’ll be having this one every time I fly through DEN.

Bottle. Medium head. Sweet nutty toasty malty aroma and taste is the perfect compliment to the dark brown color of the beer. A good example of the style.

(Bottle) Pours a brown color with a small beige head. Aroma of hazelnut and sweet malts. Taste is of caramel and toffee, with a good amount of hops to balance. Could be a little less sweet and less carbonated, but an enjoyable Brown ale overall.

Okay so it looks like a chocolate lab, but thank goodness it doesn’t smell like one. One of my favorite browns, Ellie has a nice nutty aroma. Its silky coat lays down on the tongue with obedience. Fetch me another.

Pours a clear, brown with rust highlights; head is average, creamy-pillowy, off-white, and with moderate longevity and minimal lacing. Nose is simple with hazlenut, light chocolate, and hints at burnt sugars. Flavor is similar with lots of sweet brown sugar notes, light chcolate, and roasted nuts with only enough bitterness to keep from cloying. Palate is light to medium, soft, and smooth. Finishes somewhat short and mostly sweet with lingering nutty characteristics and brown sugar. A very drinkable brown with rich malt tones and subtle hop presence.

From bottle : A nice spicey malt aroma, with hints of cocoa, hops, and tobacco. A beautiful deep rich brown color, with a finger white head. The taste is very well balanced with malts and hops, with a good amount of roasted malts and a little chocolate. Medium body that is creamy, with some noticable carbonation. A pretty good brown ale.

Had this beer on 11/7/1998. Color is a deep brown with a bit of amber to it. Carbonation is good but the head is out of control, I can’t get my glass filled. Aroma has a spicy malt scent that reminds me of a home brew. Taste is light and nutty. It starts with a lighter body then you would think from the looks of it and goes down with a crisp feel. The finish has a nice nutty roasted malt taste backed with a light bitterness. Although I feel the over carbonation takes away from the flavor, it is about what there description said it would be.

bottle. pours brown with white head. nose is nutty and biscuity. flavor much of the same. really your run of the mill brown ale.
