Jacobsen Brown Ale

◎ Appearance

Deep chestnut brown with excellent clarity and a tight, persistent head that leaves fine lacing down the glass. The color reflects the complexity of six malts, from pale ale and amber through to darker crystal and carafa. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting a refined presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with caramel and dark chocolate, grounded by subtle coffee notes. Dried fruit character emerges—dates and figs—alongside a delicate, grape-like fruitiness from the Nelson Sauvin hop. The aroma is inviting and complex without any sharp edges, reflecting both the malt bill and the English top-fermenting strain.

◐ Taste

The palate is full and malty, with the six-malt foundation delivering a rich, rounded sweetness. Nelson Sauvin introduces a distinctive grape-like fruitiness that plays against East Kent Goldings and Fuggles, creating subtle floral and herbal undertones. Bitterness is restrained at 24 IBU, allowing the malt character to dominate while providing gentle balance.

◑ Finish

The finish is markedly dry, with a clean decay that leaves no cloying aftertaste. The lingering impression is of subtle tannin and malt dryness, with faint echoes of the grape and chocolate notes.
