Description
Brash was founded in 2012 by Ben Fullelove, but laws at the time kept him from brewing within city limits. The Brash Brewing Company came to life when he finally decided to move to Ipswich, Massachusetts. The outdated legislation that prevented brewery owners from operating a bar were overturned the next year and in October of 2015, Brash Brewing Company opened its doors.

Bottle. Pours with a pretty strong, dark hued body with a medium sized brown head. Good retention, nice lace. Head is not that menacing iodine color you get from some place like CCB or certain Mikkeller beers. Seems to be more Roasted malt than black barley. Still trying to ascertain the head color. This rant was not preconceived, but by the time I finished typing, there was some ring, and a light coating across the top as head retention. Aromas are of rich coffee, fudge, flinty minerality, and coffee. Coffee character is nice and strong. Brown sugar, nice ester, dark fruits, flan. Rich roasted malt coffee, and a nice bourbon character with vanillin, maple and light smoke. Flavors are rich, dark fruit, lightly muddled soil almost a vegital dms, chocolate, nutty and coffee. Super rich, pound cake, earthy coffee, vegital, medium roast, light bourbon but a lot of wood. Flavors feel a bit disjointed compared to the amazing aroma. Woody tannin. Biscottii and vanillin, yet something tastes a bit off. Thick body, minerals, coffee cream, medium carbonation. Warming. Interesting, as good as it sounds, but could be even better.

650ml bottle. Clear orangey golden colour with small to average, firm, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Slightly herbal hoppy aroma, some citrus, bitter orange, tangerine. Taste is initially moderately sweet caramel malty with hoppy overtones evolving from citrusy via herbal to really bitter, minimally soapy, medicinal; lasting bitter, astringent finish. Slightly overpowered.

1/IV/13 - 1T. 6Fl. Oz. bottle from De Hopduvel (Gent) @ home - BB: n/a (2013-298) Thanks to Klaas for sharing the bottle!

Clear orange beer, some very small sediment floating around under a small creamy white head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: fruity, mango, passion fruit, pineapples, other sweet exotic fruits. MF: ok carbon, full body. Taste: fruity start, some honey, exotic fruits, piny resinous, alcohol sweetness, grapefruit, very bitter. Aftertaste: fruity, mango, piny hops, dry, honey, alcohol, very nice beer, but way too much alcohol, that was unnecessary. "Will somebody please think of the livers?!"
