Our Tastes-- Rocket Republic Cosmic Cookie Oatmeal Brown Ale

Another Alfalfa Train "leg" from north of here. Cosmic Cookie did not disappoint. A 5.4% clear brown ale with a relatively basic composition to it's base recipe but the spices and flavoring are truly a work of art. For me the cinnamon was a more "true" cinnamon type of Cassia that seemed to be overdone to the point of almost metallic, but then the sugary oat flavors with a touch of raisin kicked in. No doubt a flavored beer but done so with a great first attempt and the right time of year as we close in on the 20s at night for the next week. Got a howler, but could've shared and killed a growler! Well done.
