Description
Small Change Brewing Company is the husband-and-wife team of Mike Patterson and Emily Vides. It evolved out of a decade of home brewing, a few jobs at Boston-area breweries, and a love of all things beer and brewing. We don't make a lot of beer, and we don't have our own brewery, but by staying small and sharing space with other local brewers, we're able to focus on making the beer that we want to when we want to. It's our mission to bring you fresh, flavorful beer of the highest quality

Can with a PKG date of 7-02-19. Aroma is mild floral with toasted grain. Flavor has the light floral, grains, with the addition of maybe some citrus. Dry texture. Nice summer ale but definitely simple and straightforward.

Can pour into nonic pint glass. Appearance is very, very dark brown--only misses opaque with light source directly behind--with minimal sparkle at the edges of the glass, a few light floaties, thin cap of light brown head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is rich roasted malts, bordering on char, with hints of coffee and baker's chocolate. Taste is as aroma. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with thick texture, average-to-lively carbonation and finish as taste with pleasant lingering dry bitterness to balance the sweet. Overall, a strong aroma and flavor--nothing fancy but a good representative of the style.

Canned 9.17, drunk 10/12/18.
Clear, dark chestnut with burgundy highlights.Β  Small, dark beige head shows moderate retention.
Honey, cola, nuts, not too much dark malt. Smells clean, lightly fruity, low, herbal-tinged hops. Seems snappy and clean with a bit of molasses and toffee sweetness to add roundness and fullness.
Dry and clean with not overdone dark malts adding light coffee, caramel and strong hazelnut. Good carbonation and light bitterness keep it crisp on the finish. Fruity cola and light chocolate. Just a touch of sweet toffee.
