Monks Café Angie Brown

Brewed by Monks Café Stockholm
Style: Brown Ale
Stockholm, Sweden

Draught at the brewpub. Hazy roast red, small head. Aroma of mango and grapefruit. Mid sweet and medium bodied with well rounded mouthfeel. Underneath the hops I find chocolate and toffee seeping from careful roasty malt. Finishes with medum bitterness. Unusally freshening brown ale on the hoppy side.

(Draught at Monk’s Café, Wallingatan, Stockholm, 27 Jan 2009) Dark reddish amber colour with frothy, beige head. Fruity nose with notes of caramel, orange peel, toffee and hints of grapefruit. Fruity, malty taste with caramel, orange, hints of grapefruit and chocolate. Crisp and clean malt structure combined with a generous citrussy bitterness gives it a lovely balance. Very nice beer. In short: well balanced caramel, chocolate and citrus.

Draught at Monks Café, Wallingatan, Stockholm. Pours out in a hazy dark reddish brown colour with a firm white foam. Caramel, burnt sugar, crystal malts, resin, and fragrant citrousy hops in the aroma. Medium-bodied with notes of caramel, roasted nuts, mild resin and burnt sugar. Clean mouthfeel. Rather crisp finish of caramel, orange-peels, grass, nuts and resin. A good try of a rather boring style.
