At the brewery: Pours brown with a light beige head. Aroma is malty, caramel, and a bit of booze. Taste is not too sweet. Light bit of hop bitterness. Nice thick maltiness. This wasn’t too sweet as are many ales of this style. I liked that it was restrained, but still had some oomph.

At the brewery: Pours yellow with a white head. Aroma is bready with a bit of hops. Lightly bitter taste. Lingering aftertaste actually, perhaps surprisngly so. Small hints of fruitiness. Nice and balanced. A pleasant ale.

Draught @ Albion. Inky black with small foamy tan head, roasted malt aroma, low carbonation, thin body, burst of roasted malt taste that disappears fast, abrupt finish with a little burnt aftertaste. An easy drink to consume.

Artichoke Pizza, NYC: Yeah, this is not where I would have expected to get my first sample of Flagship, but they are Italian, so I guess they have some Staten Island pride. Anyway, it pours amber with a whitish head. Aroma is pine and citrus. Pretty good. Nice and bitter taste. Well balanced. This isn’t breaking any new ground but it seemed pretty solid to me

Location: Growler from Syosset Beverage, 10/6/14
Aroma: The nose is roasty and fairly dry, black coffee, and some noticeable ash
Appearance: It pours a dark brown color with a thin light brown head and light lacing
Flavor: The flavor is black coffee dominant, dry and malty flavor, and an ashy finish
Palate: The body is fairly light, but not watery, easy drinking, smooth, with a short, dry finish
Overall Impression: Ticking my way through the list of NY state breweries, this is #89, but I'm pretty sure this is my first Staten Island beer. Here's to Richmond county! As for the beer, this is pretty tasty stuff. The coffee/ashy flavors are dominant, and while it isn't watery, it does get a little thin, but for a 4.5% mild ale it seems right on to me.

Tap at Manchester pub was stoked to get some Staten Island brew up in me. Pours deep mahogany with faint nose of roasted malt. Tastes of soft malt, light toffee, flag cola, and ash. Nice mild palate. Decent representation of style
