I found a new brewery the other day while at Total Wine. This Bitchin’ Betty Brown Ale, 5.4% ABV, is from Armored Cow Brewing in Charlotte, North Carolina. This brown ale has chocolate and honey malts in it. This ale pours a dark brown with a tow and a half finger beige, khaki head that slowly dissipates. The aroma is a little sweet and has an aroma of malty flavors. It has a creaminess. The taste is chocolaty and creamy with a malted backbone. There is a bit of a roasted note as well. It has a light to medium mouthfeel for a brown ale. Then this ale finishes with a creamy roasted cocoa flavor. The aftertaste is short with a chocolate malt flavor. I have had better brown ales, and I think Armored Cow Brewing Bitchin’ Betty Brown Ale is a C+. The overall flavor just slowly tickles your taste buds with a minimal flavor. It is average for a brown ale, and I might have this again, but I wouldn’t try this, but it will not be a terrible experience if you do. Please be kind, stay safe, and enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
