Bottle from Bert’s Dark brown with a decent sized tan bubbly head that dissipates quickly. Milk chocolate and roast on the nose with a bit of caramel and tobacco. Flavor follows quite well and adds a bit of smoke. Not too shabby for an over the top chocolate beer.

Bottle from Bert’s Dark brown color with a decent sized bubbly off white head that persists. Tart spicy earthy with hints of dark fruit on the nose. Brown sugary caramel maltiness with some light spices and hints of earth and ethanol to counter. Lightly spiced, pretty good beer.

Bottle from The Beer Store Nashua Over carbonation posed pouring problems. Hazy straw color with an over-sized frothy white head that took forever to recede. Lemon pledge and wild or stressed yeast on the nose. Bitter astringent flavor isn’t much better than the nose. Wow that is pretty bad.

Bottle from Bert’s slightly hazy deep amber color with a decent sized off white head. Caramel and toffee maltiness is quite strong making this a bit on the sweet side. The hop profile is overwhelmed by the spiciness from the rye malt. What is in here is somewhat grassy and astringent. A bit of sherry like oxidation is in here as well. This one needs some work.

Sample at the Granite State Brewfest 7/25/2015 Deep brown with faint ruby and a decent tan head. Caramel with a hint of brown sugar earth and chocolate. Nice for a brown ale.

Sample at the Granite State Brewfest 7/25/2015 Deep reddish amber color with a decent off white head. Big caramel maltiness with just enough earthy hops to balance nicely.
