Draught @ the source. Dark brown with reddish tint, small creamy beige head, sweet mocha aroma, low carbonation, initially slightly sweet taste morphs into roasted malt bitterness, but feels a bit artificial, thin body, medium finish. For some reason the taste felt a bit artificial.

Growler share with Doug and Henry.
My portion was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a murky brown color with an eggshell white foamy head. Softly dissipated to leave some messy lace.
The aroma had sweet roasted nuts, clean caramel malts, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, some vanilla extract, sweet cracker (somewhat like animal crackers), and ended up having a little bit of dark bread at the end.
The flavor took the prior mentioned aromas to blend fairly nice and sweet. Stabilizing little bit of bitterness from the dark chocolate coming in to pull down the sweet tones. Aftertaste slightly reminded me of what happens when oreo cookies meet snickers (just add some booze and this is the beer you’ll get). Finish absorbed the full flavors to steadily possess a spectacular blend of it all.
The palate was about medium bodied with a full on effect of the sipping qualities claiming my tongue just the way I wanted it. Carbonation and ABV both felt good.
Overall, in Star Wars’ \"A New Hope\" when Darth Vader is walking on the flight deck next to the Millenium Falcon and he says \"I haven’t felt that presence since.....\" This is that for me, when I first starting liking beer and then realizing brown ales would be my go to style. I would say that this beer specifically is perhaps the end all and be all of brown ales for me. Since I’m a huge fan of this style, if I could die with a glass of this in my hand....pure bliss

At the source: pours muddy brown. Taste and aroma is snickers, yes, really. It is good though... and there ain’t much more to it.

On tap. Tan murky brown. A-peanuts/chocolate-med malt. T-peanuts, then a cutting thinner impression then chocolate-med malt. Sweet. By the 2nd-3rd sip I was able to figure out the thinner component was caramel. Nice, sweet med body dessert beer.

Location: Growler from Syosset Beverage, 11/5/14

Aroma: The aroma is snickers bars and roast, with some cookie/doughy malt notes
Appearance: It pours a murky brown color with a light brown head and some light lace
Flavor: The flavor, as you'll expect from the nose, is snickers and cookies, like desert in a glass, with just a bit of roasty and nutty malt flavor and a mild bitterness to keep it from getting too sweet
Palate: The body is medium, it has a smooth carbonation, and a clean, easy drinking mouthfeel
Overall Impression: New York State brewery # 92! I have been trying to locate a Barrage beer the whole time I've been working out here, but the brewery is weekends only, and I haven't seen them show up on any nearby growler lists until today. I really enjoyed this beer. It's dessert beer for people who like dessert beer but don't like cloying dessert beers. Really works quite nicely. I could really drink a lot of this very easily.
