Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a fairly dark cloudy brown color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a moderate pace. Slight messy lace.
The aroma had some toast/breadiness, light burnt to mild roast and then some hop resin with a pomme-like fruitiness.
The flavor seemed to clash a little bit in the beginning from roast to bitter hop proportions to the sweetness. But give it a touch of opening up and to me, it did a decent job of blending. Aftertaste seems a bit sharp with a slight earthiness. Finishes slightly damp with some cereal qualities about it.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a more sipping quality about it. It’s not the carbonation because that actually felt fine, but something with the roastiness in this beer that seemed to play against the contour of the hop bite.
Overall, aroma and flavors are spot on and make it seem worthy to me to want to have again, but something about how it felt makes me almost want to beg to differ.

New England Bucket List Trip Beer #121. Keg at the brewpub. Pours a hazy dark brown with a thin head. Fair head retention. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, earthy hops. The taste is chocolate, roasted malt, herbal and earthy hops. Medium bodied, mild lingering roast.
