Broken Clock Pocket Watch Pecan Brown Ale. 6.5% ABV. 23 IBU. Broken Clock Brewing Cooperative, Minneapolis, MN.Lightly hazed, crimson/brownish coloring, nice cocoa-tinged head atop.
In the nose: sweet, nutty, malty, balanced, and enticing, to be sure. Right on.
In the mouth: On comes the malty sweetness, here comes the nutty flavor, and it's wonderfully textured and terrifically tasty. Some caramel, some cocoa, but never too much Just enough bitterness to keep it in check. Perfect balance. Long, malty/dry finish. Altogether excellent. Very nice.
I have every reason to be skeptical of brewing operations that begin with home brewers with no other experience. They have worked before, many times, but there's still the chance that they won't. Always that chance. And it's not happening here. I think this is the sixth offering I've sampled from these guys and they've all been solid. I hope to visit the brewery soon and get a few more tastes. Maybe they'll get their taproom before too long and I can while away some time with a pint or two.
