Down the Rabbit Hole Brown Ale - Tasting Notes

Tasted 11/27/2010

Appearance

Semi-transparent dark brown, with a white head that fades quickly

Smell

Coriander and celery are predominant, but there are some rich coffee notes in the background as well, along with a little bit of grassy/fruity hop aroma.

Taste

Coriander, roasted malt, and a very slight tang (presumably from the Brett) dominate the flavor. Fortunately, the celery flavor is more muted than the aroma would seem to indicate, and only really comes in at the very end, creating an interesting, almost dry, finish to the beer.

Mouthfeel

Medium body with medium carbonation.

Notes

This is a very interesting beer. Despite all the different flavors, it actually seems to work pretty well and is surprisingly drinkable.
