Commercial Description:
Bob's is a special beer brewed in honor of our friend, Bob Hirsch, who fought cancer valiantly for many years. He lived his final days to the fullest and he is an inspiration to all of us. Bob's Brown Ale will be released at this year's Fremont Oktoberfest, then brewed once a year and released every May 14th (Bob's birthday). 100% of the proceeds from Bob's will be donated in honor of Charles "Bob" Hirsch to the Seattle Ronald McDonald House to provide a "home-away-from-home" for Children's Hospital patients and families. Bob's Brown Ale is big and brown with lots of hops. We use a blend of 2-row Pale, Caramel, Chocolate, Munich, and Roasted Barley Malts, then add sh*t loads of Centennial and Crystal hops to make this a meaty brown brew.

Pint - Eastside Club Tavern - Olympia, WA
Aroma – Nice dark malt aroma, the chocolate and nut aromas very subtle and good.
Appearance – Brown in color, clear, very nice head.
Flavor – A very nice brown ale with good malt and hops use. The nut and chocolate come through very nicely.
Palate – Nice Mouthfeel, great texture with a dry finish.
Overall – I really liked this beer. Had some complex flavors that came out nicely. Liked that the nut and chocolate are flavors coming out of the roasted malts. This shows some good brewing is happening. This beer has gotten better over the years.

Bright dark chestnut brown colour. Nutty aroma with nuances of milk chocolate and tobacco. Smooth palate of hazelnuts and light chocolate notes - that nut tastes artificial though they don’t even use any hazelnut at all. Strange. A bit of raw vanilla astringency comes in late. That raw, harsh finish really cuts what begins life as a very sweet brew and impedes the drinkability of the brew. I would suggest cutting back the alcohol as this seems to be the source of the problem.
