Avery Ellies Brown Ale

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

Aroma is full of really nice chocolate, caramel, nutty roast. The hops aren’t particularly noticable. There is an earthy vanilla aroma about it. The appearance is a deep brown color with a flat color, the head is there for a moment and then gone, into not much more than a wisp. The taste is smooth full of a really nice chocolate and caramel malt, with a little alcohol as well. The palate feel is excellently smooth, the body is medium to heavy, with a smooth texture, the carbonation is perfectly soft. The beer could become an all day brew. Excellent.

12 ounce bottle from brewforia. Pours a cloudy brown color with hints of red and a medium beige head. The aroma is sweet vanilla, chocolate malts, nutty and toasted. The flavor is similar; a sweet brown ale, vanilla, toasted nutty malts, chocolates. Smooth and very tasty. A nice brew.

(bottle at RSRIZZO’s winter gathering on 1/13/10). Dark brown color. Medium size light tan head. Light roasted malt aroma. earthy roasted malt flavor. Avg duration. Smooth finish. Slick texture. Moderate carbonation. Fair lacing.

Bottle. Poured brown in color with a small light brown head that was mostly diminishing with nice lacing. The aroma was of roasted coffee malts, piney hops and a nice doughy yeast scent. It tasted bitter-sweet at first and finished slightly bitter of hops with the flavor staying with you for quite a while. Mouthfeel was creamy yet oily in texture and medium in body. Overall a tasty brown ale, typical of the style.

Dark brown with a ruby tinge and a thick creamy tan head. Aroma of molasses, brown sugar, nut, fruit, roasted malt. Taste is roasty, burnt biscuity malt. Slight bitter finish. Creamy texture, smooth carbonation, medium bodied.

This was a tasty brown ale, to say the least. Unfortunately it wasn’t really so astonishingly good that I found myself reaching for another. The aroma and color were both good, and standard for a brown ale. The taste was overall good, but it felt light on the palate for a brown ale, and I think that’s what got me about it.

12 oz bottle. Pours a nice copper brown with a decent but short lived off white froth. Aroma is quite good for a brown ale, very rich and chocolately, nutty with a good amount of vanilla and creamy. Flavor starts with a rich and heavy maltiness and quickly gets a sharp nut character. The chocolate continues through the finish with a bit of cocoa powder and a slightly dry finish. Not a lot of bitterness in the finish, just a touch. Medium slightly sticky body and a light fizzy carbonation. Really nice brown ale

12 oz bottle served in a clear tulip. Pour is cola with a reddish hue and a half inch of quickly dissipating cappuccino froth sitting on top. Nose is barley, malt, nuts, peat moss, and earth. Taste is a gritty, earth cola with the hop and malt lingering into the finish. I can’t rate this outstanding, but it is decent and quite sessionable.
