Flossmoor Station Pullman Brown

Brewed by Flossmoor Station Restaurant & Brewery
Style: Brown Ale
Flossmoor, Illinois USA

22oz bottle, courtesy of hombrepalo. Thanks, Horacio! Pours a murky, dark brown color; medium tan head with decent retention and fine-bubbled lacing. Lots of roasted nuttiness, chocolate, nougat, and molasses in the aroma; nothing overly sweet, just solid. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: definitely one of the more generous brown ales I’ve tried, with loads of nuttiness, roasted malts, and coffee upfront; nothing very astringent or overly bitter at all, with just a nice mineral bitterness keeping things under control; the molasses note is very present, showing through with plenty of sweetness and chewiness, but again there’s nothing overly sweet here, just a touch more heaviness than one would expect from a brown ale. Drinkable, but it could be a bit better with a more pronounced hop character and slightly more subdued molasses note; a very good beer regardless. Lengthy finish: roasted malts, nuts, and brown sugar.

This is a great dark brown brown ale that was very malty and hoppy but a very smooth finish and nice and very rich with all kind of flavors and malts.CHEERS!

this by far is the best brown ale i have ever had. made with molasses and 7 differnt malts poured the color of porter deep dark brown almost black small head but lots of lacing from this thick creamy monster of a brown.taste of molasses nuts and lots of malts aromas abound very complex. this from a small brew pub very impressive. better than rouges and you can get your own now that they started bottling if you can find it voted best small brew pub in 2006

22oz bottle @ Maproom, Chicago. One the better brown ales Ive come across. Very nice overwhelming complx malty aroma thats has some brown sugar & molassses sweetness. Pours a deep brown with some redness to it. Very flavorful, full of malts , sweetness, nutty. Very good brown ale & should be sought out by fans of the style

Bottle. Deep mahogany with a fleeting head. A medium strong aroma is fresh hazelnuts,peanut butter, with some chocolate and roasted malts, and earthy molasses. Smooth medium body. Nice flavors are on the sweet side, with toasted malts, earthy molasses, with some light grassy hops to finish. A solid brown ale here, enjoyed this one.

Bottle courtesy of the generous KieferUGA. Poured a very dark brown; dark for the style. Short lasting, small to medium sized, light brown head. Aroma of molasses, roasted oats, caramel and nuts. Flavor was surprisingly roasted focused and a bit hoppy for the style. Also present were caramel, nutty and chocolate notes. A small hint of sweetness. One of my favorite brown ales.

Pours dark brown with a light tan head. Smell is nutty, and coffee like and taste is chalky, nutty, and lightly of coffee. Bit thin body and flavorwise, but otherwise a good, drinkable brown ale. Didn’t knock my socks off, however.

22oz bomber, just released. What? I can’t believe how good this beer is. I’m a sucker for brown ales, but this takes the cake. Dark brown, great dense head, rich complexity. Stunning. Really.
