Turkey Drool

Tractor Brewing Company
United States·Brown Ale
Tap to rate

Cherry, vanilla and chocolate meet caramel on the nose, and the flavour adds mint, honey and spice in a full-bodied brown ale with medium carbonation. Mahlab, the pits used for centuries in the Middle East, supplies that note, and a blend of Mexican spices brings the hint of mint. Deep amber with ruby highlights, 7.9 % ABV and 19 IBU.

◌ Aroma

Inviting nose opens with cherry and dark fruit, underpinned by warm vanilla and milk chocolate. Caramel sweetness emerges in the mid-palate, while mahlab brings an earthy, slightly almond-like undertone. Mexican spices contribute a subtle mint suggestion without dominating the bouquet.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied on the palate, delivering chocolate and vanilla at entry, followed by honeyed caramel in the mid-palate. The spice profile evolves gracefully, with mint notes and a whisper of Mexican warmth. Bitterness remains restrained at 19 IBU, allowing the malty, nutty character to flow through without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish extends into the aftertaste with lingering honey and caramel, while spice and mahlab fade gently. A pleasant warmth from the 7.9% ABV remains without alcohol bite.
