Big Brown Kat – Alley Kat Brewing (Big Rock Brewery)

By Mike @mikescraftbeer

Alley Kat Brewing and Big Rock Brewery have collaborated in Edmonton at the Alley Kat location to bring us "Big Brown Kat" a Pacific North West Single Hopped Brown Ale. The beer pours a deep brown colour with red hues and a tan head. The aroma consists of caramel, roasted malts, mild sweetness and mild fruits. The flavour is of caramel, roasted malts, mild chocolate, mild spicy pine and some earth. The alcohol content comes in at 4.8% and 40 IBU. Not an overly complex beer but a great beer to sit down to a pint or two if you can find it.

Commercial Description: Three specialty malts and premium Alberta barley balance out this delicious brown ale. Collabrewation never tasted so good.
