Brau Brothers The Ringneck Braun Ale

This brown ale is from the Brau Brothers Brewing Company originating in Lucan, Minnesota, but now of Marshall, Minnesota.

The beer pours a dark chestnut brown in color with an amber/orange tint. There is a short lived head of light tan foam. The aroma is roasted and toasted malt, darkened caramel, a touch of nuttiness and a mineral tang reminiscent of north English and Scottish ales. The taste follows the aromas directly, adding in some dark fruits. The finish is moderately bitter and fairly dry. This is a very nice Scottish/English style brown ale.
