The ebony appearance of the Dread Brown Ale gives the illusion of being a porter or stout. Don't be deceived. This is definitely brown ale. The aroma is roasted coffee intermingled with freshly baked bread, and a hint of cardamom. Don’t be alarmed. This beer doesn’t have any of those wacky ingredients in it, just organic barley, organic hops and water. The mouthfeel is surprisingly light and crisp but finishes with a bite. The balanced flavors of the Dread Brown Ale create a subtle fluidity of sweet, roasted, and crisp. 22 oz bottle.
