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!

tap - Pours amber and has a very good piney aroma. There’s a good, crisp bitter flavor. To me the bitterness is higher than the typical English bitter. It’s good though.

Beef, brown sugar, and cherry cola nose. Garnet brown, medium yellow head. Flavor is also meaty with cherry accents. There is an overriding presence of unmalted grain. Bark and clover toward the end. Alcohol is a little much for 5.7%. A unique take on a style that is usually pretty bland and boring.

My wife brought this one back from a trip to Rochester. This is my first beer from this brewer. +++ Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark brown color with a medium sized foamy tan head. The aroma was sweetish cola with touches of anise and cherry. The flavor was dryish and a bit nutty with fairly strong cola and touches of wood, vanilla, cherry and toast. The finish was medium length dry wood, nut and cola. Medium body. Ok.
