To Øl Jæmes Braun Imperial Brown Ale

Tonight:
To Øl Jæmes Braun Imperial Brown Ale
10.5% ABV

I'm not sure how I feel about this beer. It's certainly a rich, brown ale. It's got a chalky bitterness to it, a bit like a coffee porter might. There's a little chocolateyness in there. It's by no means a bad beer, but it's certainly not amazing, either. The flavors feel disjointed and forced into the beer -- which I'm attributing to vehicle of a brown ale rather than a stout. I'm not claiming that every stout is phenomenal, but perhaps stout is a style that can take these big, bold flavors and meld them together into something cohesive.

If you want to try something different and you're willing to drop the coin, go ahead and pick up a bottle. But if you're looking for something you're looking for a sure thing -- for a delicious beer to savor and enjoy -- pick up a Belgian Dubbel or one of the Andechs beers.
