MOROCCAN BROWN ~ SPEARHEAD

Sampled on draught, Moroccan Brown is an American-Style Brown Ale. It is inspired by the flavours of the Maghreb region of Morocco and is brewed with cinnamon, dates, raisins and figs. The beer poured a hazy dark brown colour with coppery highlights and a creamy off white head that left some good lacing after lingering for quite a while. Dried fruit, dark tree fruit, caramel and Demerara sugar, and dark malts make up the nose. The taste is similar to the nose with dark malts, fruit, Demerara sugar spice and a mild hop bitterness, which gives the brew a dry finish. The beer has a medium carbonation and body and is very nicely balanced. I enjoyed this brew and would love to sip on it while sampling from a cheese plate.
