650 ml bottle purchased at Beveridge, Wolfeboro, NH. This brewer use to put a bottling date on the front of the label but for some reason now only a green sticker on the bottle of the bottle that tells the customer nothing about the freshness. I like bottle dates. Ok, anyhow, slightly hazy amber color with some head retention. Aroma is good amount of fruit, grapefruit and mango with a kiss of pine underneath some pale malt.
The body is a solid medium with normal amount of Co2. The flavor is malt heavy with dough and caramel and light notes of citrus fruits toward the back end. The bitterness does not long after the sip. The entire brew is put together rather well but I feel like it is missing something. It needs one element or ingredient to make it stand out and give it some pop.

Bottle from Bert’s Pours a hazy dark straw color with a decent sized white head that dissipates quickly. Aromas of lemon and orange zest with bits of sweet honey maltiness and some yeasty bready aromas phenols. Sweet honey sugary maltiness up front with bits of citrus fruit and some yeasty bready flavors. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet slick mouthfeel. Pretty good wit or Belgian pale ale, but sadly no maple or American pale ale was found in this bottle. This is either a labeling mishap or an infection in the early stages. I will re rate this after I get the scoop.

Bottle from Craft Beer Cellar in Portsmouth, Nh. Green sticker that reads 2014 097, guessing this is a best before date. Aroma is really tempting. Oats, coffee with cream and light roast.
Body is chewy texture with some oats. The flavor is similar to the aroma just much milder. Hints of coffee bean, bakers chocolate and light caramel. Very thin body with some bitter coffee finish.

Bottled from Bert’s Pours a solid black color with a bubbly off white head that dissipates rather quickly. Smells of smokey campfire, chocolate, and caramel with an earthy edge. The flavor is sweet with caramel and chocolate offset with a solid but subtle campfire smoke. The earthy edge rounds it out nicely. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation. Nice porter with a subtle smokey edge that enhances rather than overpowers the beer like some others I’ve tried.

Bottle from Bert’s Pours a solid black color with a good sized creamy tan head that persists for a little while. Aromas of chocolate, creamed coffee, and roasted grains with a hint of sugary sweetness. The flavor follows the aroma, creamed sugary coffee with hints of caramel and chocolate. The coffee is very well balanced and compliments rather than distracts. Medium body with a light to moderate level of carbonation and a slick creamy mouthfeel. This is a very nice brew, I’m impressed. Light easy drinking flavorful brew.

Bottled on 16 Dec 2013. Mostly diminishing white head on top an Orange/ Amber liquid. Aroma is sweet malt and dusty wheat.
Flavor starts lightly sweet with pale malt base. Toffee hints. On the lighter side of a medium body, nearly thin. The dusty basement and dirty wheat type flavor shows throughout the brew. I don’t get any hop profile at all. I guess the brewer was going after a more English feel. Pretty tame brew.

22 oz. bottle with a stamp of 7 Feb, 2014 on the label. Black with thin tan head. Aroma is nice. Roasted grain, chocolate, and ash.
Nothing out of the ordinary as far as the flavors go, roasted oatmeal, light coffee notes and a bit of black chocolate. Some light bitterness in the finish. Dry texture. Soft carbonation in a medium body. Solid.

Bottle from Bert’s Pours a fairly clear medium golden color with a huge off white ehad that really shows some staying power. Aromas of caramel, butterscotch, bread, and toffee with hints of earthy hop aroma and light bits of fruity esters. The flavor is rich and malty with a heavy toffee, butterscotch, and caramel presence. Light earthy hop mineral water and sulfur provide some balance although this beer skews toward the malt side. Medium body with moderate level of carbonation and a sweet slick mouthfeel. Nice apa that definitely is English inspired, and easy to drink.
