Can from CBC, Westford. Opaque black, nice sparkle, thin head with good retention, trace lacing. Aroma is sweet roasted malt, brown bread, caramel. Taste is strong, roasted, earthy malt, brown bread, light spice. Smooth, creamy texture, soft carbonation, dry finish as taste. Nice Porter. Didn't get the Baker's chocolate but other elements there.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a one finger khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: roasted malts, coffee roastiness; clean caramel scents; subtle cocoa powder
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together to a balanced roasty, toasty and semi-sweet approach; mild aftertaste of coffee, cocoa powder and caramel
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; nice smoothness to roasty balance on the tongue; finishes very well balanced between the roast and the sweet (that's how you get a porter done right, boys and girls!)
Overall: who would have thought - one of Massachusetts smallest breweries knows how to get a porter done right and how long have they been brewing? Mind boggling to think there are breweries brewing way longer than these guys and they still can't get a good porter down.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: rustic golden color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off delicately to leave some light lace.
Aroma: light herbal to grassy to floral hops rolling over some malty to crackery malts; some tea-like scents roll in lightly underneath
Flavor: blends all the prior noted aromas mildly sweet with a crisp quaint bready tone; no aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; fairly smooth along the tongue; finishes bready with a touch of herbal quality
Overall: I get it as a golden ale but am I to understand this beer is supposed to be a cross of an American blonde ale and a British pale ale? I guess so, I don't mind that.

Appearance: semi-glossy yellow color with a sly transparency; two finger white foamy head slid off delicately to leave some light lace
Aroma: clean sweet biscuity to bready malts up front, and delicate sweet grassy hops underneath
Flavor: dedicates itself to clean sweetness meshing the prior noted aromas; light aftertaste of some malts
Texture: light bodied, very sessionable; extremely smooth along the tongue; finishes crisp with a semi-refreshing smooth vibe
Overall: I liked this cream ale, I'd have again. Would be a great one with some BBQ.
