Pours a slightly hazy brown from a can. Hershey’s chocolate and medium roast coffee aroma and flavors. Rather sweet and somewhat effervescent in the mouth. Good beer.

Tap at Ginger Man, Boston. Colour is clear brown with small white head. Aromas and flavors: Chocolate, some coffee, dryness, hops and malts. Clean and hoppy.

Sample at the taproom. Cloudy reddish-brown color with a medium light beige head that dissipates steadily to a film. Small patches of lacing. Aroma of roast malt, chocolate and a bit of hops. Light-bodied with flavors of roasted malt, cocoa and mild hops. The finish is sweet with a coffee and malt aftertaste. Above average overall.

Draught. Slightly murky brown with reddish tint, faint caramel-toffee aroma, medium carbonation, mocha taste, smooth body, medium finish. Mellow and easy to drink.

From tap. Pours murky dark brown with a small off white head. Aroma is roasted malty and phenolic. Bitter, dark malty and roasted. Dry, bitter and dark malty finish.

16 oz can. Aroma is pretty nice. Chocolate, mild coffee, roasted grains. I put off sampling this for a long time because it is "just" a brown ale. Mistake by me because this is really nice.

The layers of malt is pretty deep. Mild coffee, roasted nuts, chocolate. Mouthfeel is fuller for the style and displays a dry roasted texture.

Draught at the brewery, 10/21/16.
Dark mahogany with lighter copper/amber hues and a good clarity. Dark beige head atop shows moderate retention.
Very cocoa and roast-forward in the nose, approaching stout/porter-like territory, which is fine with me. It tapers off a bit early, in good brown ale form, leaving caramel and toffee in its place. A bit of spicy, pine-accented hop notes are found, adding complexity but otherwise not bothering the balance. Fresh yeast and very light fruity esters persist on the finish, dotted with plentiful coffee notes. No alcohol or flaw noted.
Fairly soft, malty texture with a bit of breadiness from the specialty malts. Roast is strong for a brown ale and it dries out the finish, despite the caramel still helping keep it from being too dry. Carbonation is low but engaging, with no alcohol or flaw. Very clean, lightly fruity and full on flavorful coffee-caramel-chocolate brown ale. Great execution, as Foundation is apt to show.

Pours dark mahogany into a shaker. White head with good retention recedes to skim surface. Dark chocolate and smoke aromas. Medium to thick with dark chocolate, caramel and smoky, sweet earthy resin front to back.

Northeast Bucket List Trip Beer #86. Keg at the brewery. Pours a hazy brown color with a thin creamy tan head. Fair head retention. Aroma of toffee, nuts, mild chocolate. The taste is toffee, nuts, citrus, mild chocolate and dark fruits. Medium bodied, mild lingering bitterness.
