Deep dark brown coloured body with an ever so slightly opaque glow of darker brown and a touch of deep bronze along with a thinnish, two centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of rye, candy sugar, deep pit fruits with raisins, figs and prunes all very strong and sweet in the nose. Medium to Full-bodied; Rich caramel and pitted fruit sweetness at first with a big dose of caramelised sugars, earthy and nutty malts and a light but evident side of the hops, all complete with a lot of sugars and residual yeast on the end. Aftertaste shows more of the sweetness, mainly coming from all the fruits, but also quite a bit from the yeast and unfinished sugars. Aftertaste shows much more of a roundness with the malt and earthy qualities coming through, but with so much sweetness and just the hint of fruit at the end under the sugars. Overall, a decent enough beer with a lot of caramelised sugar and sweetness throughout with a subtle but smooth spice element as well. Nice to try and worth grabbing if in the season and you can find it, as it has a lot of good flavours and a subtle finish with a lot of sugars throuhgout. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from New Beer Distributors in New York, New York on 24-February-2018 for US$1,75 sampled at home in Washington on 02-April-2018.

From some bodega in Brooklyn: pours brown with an off white head. Aroma is rye and malt with some light hints of hops. Taste is much the same. Very simple but drinkable. Not bad.

4oz pour then a 32oz growler from the brewery. Pours a clear brown with some sudsy white head. Nose is an interesting mix, malt is the dominant force with some bread crust, a little cracker, some sweet oats, a hint of spice, some orange, a little fall fruit. Not too much juniper, but I’m not complaining. Flavor has some bread crust, a bit of brown sugar, a little earthy, some caramelized root veg, a bit of spice, the juniper comes through a bit more. Sticky finish.

Tap at Bobbique, Patchogue, NY - lightly hazy reddish brown - fairly messy and innocuous in aroma and flavor - moderate sweetness, light spice and moderate buttery diacetyl had me thinking it was an English Strong at first - a bit of toffee and muddled fruitiness - a bit of tang and earthiness, perhaps from the juniper, but it is understated - a bit of rye bitterness/tang and some peppery hops on the tail end - not bad, just kind of there - meh.
