Description
OCB has been hitting, hopping and dosing brews with creativity since acid-washed jeans were hip — throwing a bit of kind into the kettle whenever possible. Look for our hop-soaked ales and delicious lagers around New England and the mid-Atlantic.

Acquired by Long Trail in 2010 with the brewing facility eventually sold to Whistle Pig. Currently operating as a brand owned and marketed by Harpoon.

12 oz. bottle, pours a clear dark amber with a small beige head. Nose brings out oxidation, brewery malt, a litre syrup, and caramel. Flavour is very malty, with caramel, light maple syrup, bready malt. Not getting the barrels. Simple beer, somewhat oxidized. It's alright.
