Can, thank you jonno. Pours darker orange, some white foam. Bit cloudy. Soft malty fruity nose, sweet fruitiness. Taste has good, malt body that is strong and fruity. Good strong bodied double IPA, feels maybe bit old-style but takes care of your hop tooth. More than just decent.

16 oz. can thanks going to Chalumeaux, thanks TJ! Aroma is citrus, toffee malts, dried fruit. Flavor is similar, no flaws or problems.
Malt sweetness is maybe a tad high, hop bitterness is almost zero. The carbonation is correct and it has a mild touch of juice. Good.

The appearance was a slight dark brown color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a decent pace. Some light speckled lace.
The aroma had some nuts, toast, smooth caramel/toffee malts. Earth is still there just like in the Massatucky brown ale. Some dark fruits come out in this one with some woodiness. Did they \"barrel age\" this? I should have asked when I was at the brewpub.
The flavor leaned towards more of a balance between the earth and sweet. Woody dryness made a good play upon some extra intricacies in this one. Aftertaste was even way more balanced than the Massatucky, slight coffee coming out in this one. Nicer finish too.
On the palate, this one sat about medium bodied with a good sturdy sipping quality about it. Good carbonation. ABV felt just right.
Overall, drink this over their regular Massatucky brown ale. This \"souped up\" version is way better!

The appearance was more of an amber color with a slight transparency about it. Little white foamy head fell off at a decent pace. Not much lace, somewhat stringy and sliding into the beer.
The aroma had some earth, grass, bread and cocoa powder.
The flavor was basically the same - somewhat sweet with a decent dryness to it. Light toast-like aftertaste and finish.
The feel was about light bodied with a pretty good sessionable sort of feel about it. Sturdy carbonation and the ABV felt right.
Overall, good brown ale worthy of coming back to.

Poured into a pint glass, the appearance was a hazy amber-brown color with a creamy looking head. Quick dissipation. Sly lace.
The aroma had some spicy to earthy hops. A light tickle of tea and berry tones underneath and then some light biscuits.
The flavor comprises of the same aromas, running spicy with a malty smooth semi-sweetness. Soft malty aftertaste with the spice barely there. Nice quick malty finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Slight touch of carbonation. ABV felt appropriate by what the brewer suggests.
Overall, nicely done ESB that I could have again.

Poured into a pint glass, the appearance was a rugged dark brown close to black color with a thin cap of an off white foamy head. Gentle dissipation and a tickle of lace slides around the glass on into the body.
The aroma carried some cocoa and roastiness to play with a touch of bitterness to form out at the ends.
The flavor leans to the sweet side popping in some subtle roastiness. Mostly balanced aftertaste between sweet and roast with the same finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionably smooth Porter-like body. Good carbonation. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, pretty good chocolate porter worthy of having again if I could get it.
