Description
"It all started in 1980… Hugh Sisson, a Maryland native, theater grad school major, and all-around good guy, joins his family’s restaurant & bar, “Sisson’s” located on Cross Street in South Baltimore.
Craft beer wasn’t even on the radar back then. But, Hugh quickly recognized that to run a business, you need to do something to be different.
Light bulb moment: “What if we turned Sisson’s into a brewpub and brewed our own beer?”
Solid plan, right? Problem: Brewpubs weren’t legal in Maryland at the time.
In 1987, Hugh worked with Maryland legislators to draft a bill to legalize brewpubs in Baltimore City – the bill passed on first attempt. Fast forward to 1989, “Sisson’s” becomes the first brewpub in the state of Maryland.
After the brewpub scene for a few years, Hugh felt the need for a bigger stage (theater-pun intended.) In 1994, he left “Sisson’s” for his next business venture… and the rest, friends, is nothing short of Maryland craft beer history"

Can from Systembolaget. Dark brown with a medium tan head. Aroma of licorice, some grapefruit and caramel. The same in the taste. The finish was medium bitter and a bit salty.

Rödbrun vätska med livligt och högt skum. Kakor i doften. Ordentligt med dem. Lite citrus och slutligen en aning rostade kaffebönor. En rejäl maltig kropp med fruktig kaka möter en lika ordentligt tilltagen vägg av beska. Utan störande inslag av brända gummidäck.

12 ounce bottle. Amber orange color. Brief creamy beige head. Toasted malt aroma hints at pumpkin pie. Flavor follows nose with notes of caramel. Lots of cinnamon, clove, ginger and caramel. Big boozy notes as well. Soft notes of vanilla, oak and bourbon round out this tasty brew.

Cloudy golden color with a medium bone white head that recedes gradually to a film. Partial rings of lace. Aroma of wheat, fruit and rye. Light to medium body with flavors of rye malt, wheat, citrus and a bit of hops. Wheaty and fruity finish with a mildly spicy rye aftertaste. Decent overall.
