Bottle at the cabin in NH. Pours clear, deep amber with a frothy, off-whtie head. The nose holds toasted crackers and pine, wholegrain bread, light citrus. Medium sweet flavour with moderate toasted grains, grass, earth, light brown sugar. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly warming in the finish, with sturdy earthy-grassy bitterness, light toffee, bready malts, toast. Not bad overall.

12 oz. bottle at The Dover Brickhouse, Dover, NH. Deep brown color, some lasting head. Aroma has a bolder hop profile, good pine with light floral hints.

Flavor has a decent hop element. Malty, nutty and a touch toasty with dark fruits. Then it the hop profile kicks in and adds nice balance. Long floral finish. Dry texture. I thought I would have to fight my way to finish the bottle, not the case. Decent. However, it is kind of forgettable.

Tap industry. A darker brew. Sweet nose. Nice lacing. First taste is a big dull wack. The nose is sweet but the taste is opposite.Quite rude actually. Just a big alky blast of beer in yer face. Nasty nellie astringent finish. Certainly not a civilized brown ale.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark brown color with red highlights and a large foamy beige head that lingered and left great lacing. The aroma was toasty with caramel and fruity hops. The flavor was bitter with notes of anise, floral hops, fruity hops, cocoa and coffee. Long finish. Medium body. Ok.

Pours a dark brown from a bottle. Comes off as more of a black IPA, at least at the temp I served it at. Some caramel flavor, but the big notes were piney hops front and center throughout it all, lots of bitterness too. Good beer.

Bottle dated 05/15/15.
This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy brown with red hues roaming around the sides of the glass. One finger white foamy head leads to a stringy sliding lacing.
The smell starts off with a big burst of citrus hops eventually balancing into a toasty nutty malt.
The taste copies the aroma and leads into a sharp citrus aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation seemed decent for a Brown ale - allowing enough hops to empower the bitterness to be the harshness.
Overall, American Brown ale, well it sure is. Definitely one of the more bitter brown ales on the market. It might even make you swear, haha.
