Good sized draft sample at the Granite State Brewfest yesterday. Cloudy amber caramel and roast with some odd esters. Not a fan.

On tap at the Southern New Hampshire Brewers fest 7/26/2013 This beer is the result of happy accident where a kolsh was brewed and then mistakenly pitched with a hefe yeast. Light slightly hazy gold banana and clove with some floral spicy hop. Nice brew it really works well.

22 oz. bottle from the Beer Store, Nashua, NH. My Guinness pint glass shows the typical stout with a tiny ring of white head leaving no lace. Nose is a solid amount of roasted malt with plenty of chocolate. Flavor is roasted barley, espresso coffee notes, chocolate and some coffee bitterness in the finish. Body is medium leaning on the thin side. Carbonation is soft. Texture is dry. Overall I like the coffee flavors and would say that is a slightly above average standard stout even with the thin body.

Pours a medium copper color with a huge creamy off white head that slowly recedes to moderate stickage. Smells of grapefruit, pine resin, and dankness, with a hints of bread and caramel and a very light earthy yeasty funk. The flavor is resinous pine with bits of citrus fruit and covering a sweet brown sugary bready malt base.Light fruity esters, a touch of alcohol, and a hint of earth. Light hop bitterness lingers long after each sip. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet resinous mouthfeel. Nice serviceable IPA, nothing earth shattering, but nothing too scary either.
