13th annual New Hampshire Brewfest draft pour. Good malt back bone with a soft spicy character. Medium in body and shows a decent crispness respectable for the style.

On tap at the Flight Center Nashua Inky black with a tight off white cap that persists. Roasted creamed coffee with bits of caramel and chocolate offset with some faint earthy hops. Solid easy drinker.

16 oz. can. Aroma shows raspberries and chocolate-ish hints. Flavor has chocolate but it is clear raspberry rules the roost in this stout. Body is lean for the style. Some flaked or rolled oats would help the texture. Average dessert stout.

14 ounce draft at the source. Hazy golden appearance. Subtle tartness, mild sour, hints of oak when warm. I liked it more than I thought I would. Above average for me.

14 oz. draft at the source. Aroma was more, light fruit, and herb. The balance was pretty good between the mall bill and a half. Betterness was mild with a herbal / floral finish. Respectable.

Can from the Packie Started pouring a lightly hazy dark lemony color but towards the end of the can it got quite chunky with a light red tint that muddied that glass. Tart bitter lemon with hints of berry. Looks nasty taste is ok-ish.

5 oz. draft. Aroma is apricot, peach, fruit medley cup. Little bit of citrus bitterness just with the aforementioned fruit. Little bit of juice. Decent balance. Respectable

Can from the Packie, Dark brown/black in color with a thin tan head that quickly recedes. Roasty chocolate and earth on the nose with a hint of berry. Huge tart raspberry flavor overpowers the stout underneath it. Tasty but out of balance, less berry or more stout.

Can pour from trade with Johnnnniee--thanks, John! Appearance is deeply hazy dark yellow-light brown with light sparkle, thin cap of off-white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is pine, citrus and a sweet (almost marshmallow) malt, with vague musky herbal. Taste is pine and citrus over sweet malts; vague herbal. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, some conventional elements and some unusual aspects. Not sure it all works great, but kind of interesting.

16 oz. can shared by tfontana. Thanks Tom. As far as the name of the beer it was just shortened. As always when it comes to nanoBrewery there are slight fluctuations in recipe or ABV. Aroma is bready malt, pine, citrus. Flavor is a direct reflection of the aroma. Very old-school feel but well-made.
