Description
Microbrewery in Brandon Vermont.
Always experimenting and expanding
We brew in small batches in our 15 barrel brewery and we’re always experimenting with new recipes. Dan and Pat ,with previous experience from the wine world, get to marry the fascination with the natural world and the art and science of fermentation.
Dan keeps cooking up some good recipes and Patrick the builder keeps finding ways to add more tanks and increase our production.

A dark amber ale with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with nutty notes, and grassy hops. In mouth, a nice fruity malt with light grassy hops, ok. On tap at brewery.

Looks like peach juicy. Very cloudy. Champagne bubbles. Clementine and grapefruit nose. Very chewy and dank. Lots of fruit juice. Mouthfeel is a little flat. But the malt chewiness is off putting

Hazy dark orange. No head. More dank grapefruit and rye spice on the nose. So freaking chewy. Mouthfeel is good. IBUs don’t really match up to the malt backbone. Biscuit and ritz crackers

Burnt oak appearance caramel and a touch of shoe polish on the nose. Touch of caramel and peach taste. Some tannic oak and an earthy bitterness that resonates for a while.

Thanks to ThirstyBird for sharing! The beer is orange in the glass, nose is peaches, smooth, fresh. The beer starts very aromatic. Fresh, sticky-resin, pine, intense fruity. The mainpart is slightly sweet, but highly drinkable, pine, hoppy-bitter, intense and smooth-fruity. The aftertaste is long, intense-fruity, great. Very great! --> 12/12/11/12

Sample at the brewery on 2/7/14
Inky black pour shows lighter brown tints on the edges. Head is fleeting.
Cocoa and moderate roast in the nose has a touch of chalkiness to it, perhaps a little dullness from the yeast? Little to no hoppiness and more charred notes emerged with warming. Good balance, not too dry and astringent or tannic, nor is it too sweet.
Soft, rather loose body has a somewhat oily texture, with char and chocolate providing most of the malt flavor. Light touch of prune-like vinousness on the end and a touch more malt sweetness as it warms. No alcohol apparency. As with the rest of their beers, could use some better/tighter carbonation to give these things less of a loose/watery feel, but the flavors are clean and strong, otherwise.
