Brewery Review:
In the brown ale category, this malty beauty shows local spirit with a distinctive maroon tint. With an intricate balance of both chocolate and caramel malts and an abundance of premium hops, this beer is extremely complex with a very smooth aftertaste. (Bull & Bone's Website)
My Review:
My absolute favorite local brew, Bull & Bone's 'Maroon Effect,' features a bright and deep maroon color. On the palate, this dark beer features the deep earthy chocolatey notes, as well as some silky caramel flavors towards the end palate. While this is pretty smooth for a dark beer, there is some bitterness towards the end palate, that I find to actually make the beer a little more interesting. This beer makes a good pair with the richer, meatier fairs at Bull & Bones.
