Description
Pretty Things Beer & Ale Project began on a shoestring budget in 2008. We exist to allow 20 year professional brewer Dann Paquette to make an honest living while giving his imagination free reign. We brew our beers in other people's breweries because we can't afford our own. We enjoy the up-at-dawn lifestyle and the freedom to brew beers of our own imagining. We brew all our beers ourselves: Dann brews and formulates, Martha mills in. We dream up our beers together, inspired by Europe, by history, and by BEER and all it can be. We are based in Somerville, but brew mostly in Westport, MA, hence the early mornings. Cheers!

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is a nice bready malt and a decent grassy hop. Flavor is and equally nice dry bready malt with not as much pronounced hop as the aroma led on. Finish is dry but there is an odd burning aftertaste after the swallow. It is very minor but it’s there. This is probably one of the most malt forward lagers it ever had.

Bottle share, thanks Matt. Dark brown color with a thin ring of creamy brown head. Roasty sweet aroma with burnt malts and bittersweet cocoa. Taste is sweeter than the aroma would suggest, cocoa, dark pitted fruit, and more toasted malts.
