Als je het blikje ziet krijg je gewoon zin in een frikandelbroodje van de Appie. Smaakt best aardig. Ik weet nog steeds niet wat New England brouwtechnisch precies inhoudt, maar dit niet volgens mij. Qua stijl is het meer een laffe session IPA.

Bottle. Deep dark brown color. Chocolate, dried fruit and vanilla in the aroma and flavor. Malty sweet, bourbon. Soft roast, coughing syrup. Somewhat lacking in balance.

Hazy medium amber colour, good two finger frothy off-white head, dissipating slowly, good lacing. Aroma wheat, yeast, light banana, golden berry, cloves. Medium sweet and slightly bitter, wheaty, fruity, yeasty, average duration. Light bitter finish, earthy and dusty notes, medium body, watery to oily texture, average carbonation. Not well-balanced, especially the rather bland finish is not convincing...

Drank from the can in the cinema, so I don't really have an opinion on the appearance, but presumably it's black with a brownish head...Aroma's are sweet, roasted, coffee, dark chocolate, perhaps a touch of mint. Flavour is rather sweet, but also roasted, coffee-ish, a hint of sourness too. Slick mouthfeel, quite full bodied. Roasted and moderate bitter finish.
