New Belgium + Ben & Jerry's Salted Caramel Brownie Brown Ale

You know what? I like to try just about every beer New Belgium puts out. With the exception of the ones that seem a little predictable, like the current White IPA. I'll get to Accumulation soon, but it just doesn't grab me. The Lips of Faith Series, or the Hop Kitchens, or this one, that's another story. So, let's dig in to the beer collaboration with an ice cream maker, because, you know, why not?

New Belgium/Ben & Jerry's Salted Caramel Brownie Brown Ale. 6.25% ABV.

Brown, with reddish highlights, and a thin head, melted down to a thin ring, creamy brown in color.

Aroma: chocolate, caramel and fudge. Sweet. Creamy. Nice.

Taste: The salted part is showing. The chocolate bits are all over it. Medium-bodied. Light hops, malt-forward. Tasty stuff. Gimmick or not, it's good beer and you can drink it.
