Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a dark brown color with a finger’s worth of eggshell white foamy head that fell off at a moderate pace. Light messy lace.
The aroma had some strong notes of roast, chestnut/pecan, toast, cocoa powder, light coffee grinds and ends with a little bit of earthy hops.
The flavor lent a hand to the sweetness initially and then mildly brings in the roast slightly. Some of which blended into the aftertaste and rubs the finish in the same sort of way.
The feel was about medium bodied, perhaps just a tad under. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt good too.
Overall, good brown ale worthy of having again.

Draft. A dark brown beer with an off-white head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, caramel, and bread. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, caramel, and lighter notes of bread and fruits, leading to a dry finish.

Clear red brown beer, small creamy light beige head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: sweet malts, caramel, dried fruits, rotten banana, sweet port, mocha. MF: soft to no carbon, light body. Taste: bit of red fruits, toast, bitter hops, mocha, rotten fruit. Aftertaste: mocha to coffee bitter, orange peel. Way too light, not complex enough.

On tap at the source in Lowell. Pours a solid dark brown with a stingy off white head that was almost totally gone before the glass arrived at my table. Smells of caramel and toffee with a hint of chocolate and a smattering of earthy English hops. Smell is pretty good. Taste is malty caramel and toffee with a hint of diacetyl. There is an earthy, mineral bite towards the finish that builds with each sip and really ruined this one for me. Medium body and carbonation with a sweet slick mouthfeel. Somethings off in the taste here, I wouldn’t order this one again.

A dark brown ale with a thin light moka head. Light nutty malt aroma, a bit of fusel alcohol and burned wood. In mouth, a good burned roasted malt, very nutty, maybe of bit of autolyzed yeast off flavours. On tap at BBW, Logan airport, July 19 2009.

Had a quick sample of this at the Fenway location. Pours a translucent, dark brown with ruby edges and a creamy white head. Aroma was faint, some nutty malts, crackers, slightly sweet. Flavor is similar, sweet and chewy, nutty, bready. Finish is watery. Forgettable.
