Common descriptors are
While Snowfield is a ‘big’ beer with higher amounts of alcohol, we wanted something that was a little “less,” but that still fit the bill for something that we would want to drink in the winter. That is what we tried to do by bringing in Magic Brown. Unlike the typical brown, we built this brown up to have some more residual malt character by adding some extra munich, caramunich, and other specialty malts, but keeping the overall alcohol content and roast character down. This is perfect for those that want a lighter-bodied drinkable beer with loads of character and the *perception* that it is a bigger beer than it really is.
