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!

Pours clear and dark brown with lots of garnet highlights under a tall, thick, creamy tan head. Sweet nutty malt aroma. Sweet flavor that follows the aroma. A bit thin, but in no way is it watery. Decent beer, a bit on the sweet side.

Courtesy of hellbilly. It pours dark mahogany with ruby red edges and mocha like head. The aroma is sweet with caramel malts, molasses and chocolate malts and then mixing with smoky rauch and a touch of bacon. The taste is full up smoky malts, spicy black licorice and some molasses. To midway it gets a bit rubbery along with lingering notes of smoke, black licorice and caramel malts. Nice.

Bottle at Fin & Loz’s tasting with Jan, Charlotte, Craig, Stella & kids consumed Saturday 22.10.11 Jan brought this beer along, cheers Jan! Hazy amber in colour, looks a little flat. There is a lot of sugar left in here, demerara sugar. Quite thick in the mouth, nicely hoppy though touch heavy and syrupy sweet. This beer takes strides forward but then falls back with certain aspects of it not quite sitting right with me, overall though it just about pulls things off. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3

Bottle at Fin & Loz’s tasting with Jan, Charlotte, Craig, Stella & kids consumed Saturday 22.10.11 Jan brought this beer along to the tasting, cheers Jan! Light sweet maltiness on the nose. The taste is quite, quite lovely, nice truffleyness, chocolate abounds, cocoa powder. Its has a lovely soft carbonation that sits well in the mouth. Despite the chocolate it does have a nice hoppiness throughout. A8 A4 T8 P5 Ov16 4.1
