Emerson's DBA: A Quintessential New Zealand Brown Ale Emerson's Brewing Company, a renowned name in the New Zealand beer scene, has crafted a true gem with their DBA (Double Brown Ale). This American-style brown ale boasts a deep amber-brown color, topped with a creamy off-white head that dissipates slowly, revealing a moderately carbonated delight. The aroma of this beer is a harmonious blend of rich roasted malt notes, with hints of chocolate, caramel, and toffee, complemented by a subtle nuttiness and a touch of molasses. The earthy hops provide a floral and citrus undertone, adding to the overall complexity of the bouquet. On the palate, the DBA delivers a full-bodied and velvety mouthfeel, with prominent roasted malt flavors that beautifully balance the sweetness. Notes of chocolate, coffee, and caramel mingle with a subtle hop bitterness and floral accents, creating a delightful interplay of flavors. The beer's touch of nuttiness and earthy tones adds to its depth, culminating in a lingering roasted maltiness and a hint of hop bitterness on the finish.
