Bottle from Bert’s Pours a solid black with a huge creamy tan head that persists forever before making stickies on the sides of my glass. Aromas of roasted creamed coffee, caramel and chocolate with hints of dark fruits and light earthy hop. The flavor is rich sugary chocolate and light roast with hints of caramel and brown sugar and just enough earthy hop to provide some balance. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet creamy mouthfeel. Very nice creamy silky sessionable stout right here, probably my favorite so far from the out.haus.

Bottle from Bert’s Pours a solid dark brown with a decent sized creamy khaki colored head that recedes slowly leaving some spotty lace. Smells of caramel, brown sugar, and milk chocolate mostly, with a hint of grassy earthy hops to counter. The flavor follows the aroma quite well. Dark sugary sweet maltiness with plenty of milk chocolate flavor. Light grassy astringency mixed in with some earthy hop is noticeable but not detrimental. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet slick mouthfeel. Pretty nice brown ale, I look forward to trying some more from this brewery.

Bottle from Bert’s First delivery from a newcomer to the NH beer scene. Pours a crystal clear deep golden/ amber color with a huge frothy and bubbly milky white head that persists forever leaving lots of sticky lace on the way down the glass. Aromas of bready and caramel maltiness with plenty of grapefruit, citrus, and pine to counter. Very light almost Belgian like yeasty phenols round out the aroma. The flavor is quite malty with some bready brown sugar and caramel malts offset with a firm earthy pine hop flavor. Light to moderate level of hop bitterness. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a slick resinous mouthfeel. Nice brew, a bit rough around the edges but quaffable just the same. Could benefit from a bit less crystal maltiness and more late hopping.
