Barkerville Brewing Co. – Hound of Barkerville Brown Ale Review

Quesnel BC is in the business of craft beer with the Barkerville Brewing Company now pumping out the bomber bottles. Number 4 in their bottle line is the Hound of Barkerville Brown Ale. This beer pours an amber copper colour with a single finger of head which leaves light lacing on the glass. The Hound of Barkerville smells very heavy on the malt with a defined caramel sweetness on the back. In addition to the malty-caramel notes a slight creamy-nose comes into play with the slightest of scotch-ale style darkness. The flavour too is rather heavy on the malt with a fairly big body, caramel sweetness and lightly creamy texture. Near the finish the malt builds along with a metallic flavour leaving an iron-esque lingering taste. This is a fairly traditional style brown ale that has been turned slightly up on the malt. Keep an eye out as this bottle will be arriving shortly at your local craft retailer.
