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!

7/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Bottled. Golden colour with a small slightly off-white head. Aroma is fruity, some funk, mild earth, some cherries as well as spices. Flavour is strong on the fruits, cherries and some slight funky farmyardy tone to it. Somewhat dry, and as it warms up it also gets some hints of spices and some apples. Smooth and nicely dry palate. ABV well hidden, though it gives a slight sweetness in the flavour.

Bottled. Black colour, mediumsized foamy beigeish brown head. Aroma is liquorice, alcohol, chocolate, some mild tobacco as well as some roasted and dried fruity tones along with mild toffee and vanilla. Flavour is pretty much a blend of the elements mentioned in the aroma, but also has a quite strong almondy/nutty edge to it. I like it!
