Rye Knot Brown Ale™

Rye Knot Brown Ale™ Wine Details
Price:

Description: A full bodied dark brown ale. Intense malt character with a slight caramel sweetness. The chocolate and rye malts add to the rich roasted coffee notes. (6.2% abv) Seasonal-fall. '09 edition is back with more chocolate and rye making it more of a Brown Porter. No matter the style, one of our faves and a nice welcome to fall!

Varietal Definition
English Style Brown Ale:
The precise definition of English Brown Ale would depend on where you are in England. It is nowadays much more closely associated with Northern England, specifically Tadcaster and Newcastle, home to Newcastle Brown Ale. These medium-bodied reddish-brown beers are malt accented with a nutty character, a gentle fruitiness, and low bitterness. Alcohol is moderate, a maximum of 5%ABV. The much less prevalent Southern English style, not seen abroad, is much darker in color, sweeter on the palate, and made in a lighter style.
