hopIQ found 10 beers with the same chocolate and coffee character as Jacobsen Brown Ale. One of the four beers Jacobsen launched with in 2005, inspired by the northern English brown ales Carl Jacobsen studied on his travels in the late 1860s. Six malts, from pale ale and amber to crystal and carafa, build a chestnut-brown body, while New Zealand Nelson Sauvin joins East Kent Goldings and Fuggles. An English top-fermenting strain gives high attenuation. Aroma: caramel, coffee and dark chocolate with dates and figs. The palate is full and malty, with a subtle grape-like fruitiness and a markedly dry finish. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
Closest match: Alexander Keith's Dark Ale — 75%. No twin in the catalogue yet.
