COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brewed by Mikkeller at Ørbæk Bryggeri, Ørbæk, Denmark.
Mikkellers tribute to the foul-mouthed stewardess Jackie Brown from Quentin Tarantino’s movie of the same name. It’s a roasty, chocolaty brown ale with hints of coffee and licorice. Being a Mikkeller brew the malts are inevitably complimented by a great amount of hop bitterness, aroma and flavour.
Ingredients : Water, malt (pale, munich, cara-pils, cara-crystal, brown and chocolate), flaked oats, hops (nugget, simcoe and centennial) and ale yeast.

SlackerMads (519) - DENMARK - APR 6, 2013
Bottle. Clear chestnut brown with a thick long lasting good lacing beige bubbly head. Aroma is dominated by hops; pine, citrus with a nice malty backbone with light notes of chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, wood/bark. Taste is medium sweet and medium bitter. Medium body, oily texture, soft+ carbonation. Medium bitter and dry hoppy finish. Hoppy for a brown ale, but very enjoyable.

Dark brown color, big beige head. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee and fruity hops. Taste is similar with licorice notes, dry sweet with bitter finish. Medium body and fizzy carbonation. Nice and tasty.

Very impressive brown ale. Had a sample on tap at Maria’s in Bridgeport, Chicago. Firm, roasty aromas with pine and hop on the back of the tongue. Nice, carbonated mouth feel over a wash of malt and yeast. Great brew.

0,33L bottle. Muddy plum juice look with nice brownish head. Quite intense citrus, fruit and light hop aroma. Taste is good. Ginger note domains, grapefruit and lime and little sweet caramel. Finish is very enjoyable bitter. Grapefruit peel is few minutes on mouth. Enjoyable beer.

Lively beer, dark red/brown colour with a large beige head. Beautiful sweet hoppy aroma. The taste is hoppy with some coffee and a lot of bitterness. Perhaps a bit too bitter to taste after the sweet smell, the bitterness almost smothers the other flavours.

mmahut (101) - CZECH REPUBLIC - MAR 27, 2013
Bottle. Pours in black to ruby body with tiny head. The smell points to a lot of chocolate with some hints of roastiness. Not too complex. The taste is nice coffee and chocolaty with excessive bitterness in after taste. Little too much which does not contribute to the balance. Body is medium with low carbonation.

jmgreenuk (1264) - The Hague, NETHERLANDS - MAR 21, 2013
Bottle at Taps Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a dark brown colour with a broken tan head and broken lace. The aroma is fresh and hoppy, leading to a crisp, medium to strong bitter flavour with lots of liqourice and dark chocolate. It tastes more like an imperial stout than a brown ale to me, but nevertheless, its a very good beer.

Beerheart65 (676) - Pori, FINLAND - MAR 16, 2013
Cola-like color is deep brown, almost black with bit red, beige head is big and long and leaves good lacing. Hoppy aroma has citrus, bit pine. Can’t find much more..should not rate while on flu. Flavor has also nice coffee, hoppy flavor also, crisp, fizzy feel, medium body, bitter dry like long finish also. Hoppy and crisp and fresh..will wake you up. Enough flavor that it works with my chorizon hamburger.

delnoche (402) - GERMANY - MAR 14, 2013
50cl bottle poured into a dimpled mug. Aroma is chocolate and licorice. Flavor is a smooth blend of the two with a carbonated hoppy bite toward the end and finishes with a nice alcohol kick. A very nice flavorful beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
