If you\u2019re looking to sample one of this year\u2019s tastiest brews then you better start searching. That\u2019s right Mr Brownstone is running out fast and by the time you read this, there will probably be none left at Woodstock Brewery. The last I heard they had exactly eleven bottles left and people were snatching them up with social media orders. Anyhow, it\u2019s not all doom and gloom because word from the Stock is that they\u2019re making more\u2026 next year.<\/p>\n

Right so now that I\u2019ve built it up and you can\u2019t buy any, let\u2019s get into how delicious this brew actually is. Mr Brownstone is Woodstock\u2019s latest offering in their seasonal range. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a hazelnut-infused brown ale and if we\u2019re not mistaken, it\u2019s a first for South African craft beer. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s been compared to America\u2019s Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar and the feedback, which includes ours, is that it\u2019s better. It has a sexy, rich brown colour with an off-white head and an unmistakable hazelnut aroma. On the palate it glides across the tastebuds with complex flavours of chocolate, roasted nuts and hints of coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n

At first taste it may seem a touch sweet but it finishes with a decent bitterness to round it out. It\u2019s like drinking a Nutella beer and we can\u2019t get enough of it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If we were in the business of awarding points, we\u2019d give Mr Brownstone a near perfect score. It\u2019s a cracking brew that has a seductive dessert quality to it but still manages to be sessionable. Our only complaint is that we have to wait until next year to get our hands on some more. If you agree then Tweet @Wdstckbrewery<\/strong><\/a> with # Mrbrownstonemustrise and let\u2019s get it added to the regular line up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I typed \u2018hazelbut\u2019 instead of \u2018hazelnut\u2019 at least ten times while writing this article.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
