Description
Blue Lobster Brewing Company will be coming to Hampton, New Hampshire in 2012! Featuring fine craft beers from Michael and Roberta Benoit, Blue Lobster will become a common sight in your favorite local restaurants and bars.

Michael and Roberta have been crafting beer for 30 years (okay, so Michael crafts it, but Roberta helps design and drink it). After many years of wandering the country in exotic places like Texas, California, and for the last 12 years Oregon, they are looking forward to bringing their unique, locally-inspired brews to New Hampshire. Blue Lobster will feature small batch specialty brews, as well as more traditional beers - all served in our own tasting room AT the brewery.

750 ml bottle purchased at the Brewery Nov, 1, 3013. Aroma and flavor are pretty much identical. Port wine and dark grapes are found upfront followed by large fig notes. The beer has a medium caramel / toffee body with hints of fruit. The texture of the brew is oily with a lightly sweet finish. Nice mingling of the port barrel and base Wee Heavy. No alcohol found anywhere in the brew.

This was rating 2900 and the last Dave Sakolsky beer I had in my cellar. I was happy to share with new friends and hope Dave will start his own brew pub in the near future. Good luck finding a bottle of this.

On tap at Cask and Vine Slightly hazy dark straw or light golden color. Aromas of sweet sugary maltiness a hint of floral hops and plenty of pepper and clove esters to balance nicely. Lightly sweet flavor with a hint of honey and light sugar. Light spice with a bit of peppery yeasty bite. Medium to thick body with a light level of carbonation. Very nice tripel, I quite enjoyed it.

On tap at The New England Taphouse Grille. Comes to the table a slightly hazy light golden color with a smallish off white head that dissipates rather quickly. Aromas of spicy earthy pine and citrus with a bit of bread and spicy maltiness. The flavor is light spicy bread with a solid countering hop flavor. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation. Nice easy drinking hoppy wheat beer.

Bottle @ Armin’s apartment, courtesy of a real fucken chill dude. Pours a sort of murky, deep orangish brown appearance with little head. Super spicy (cinnamon/nutmeg), thick plum/dark grape, acetic, quite oaky aroma. Kind of like an Oud Bruin. Fair amount of vinegar tones, lot of oak and tannins, lot of dark fruit. Black cherry, plum, red grape. Carbonation is a bit dull. Nice, twangy aftertaste. Fun to drink.

$13.00 for a 375 ml bottle. Shared at the RBNG. Murky brown color. Aroma of herbal funk, tart berries, dirty earthy malt and oak.

Yeasty, oaky, hints of brett with a good about of fruity sweetness. Lingering oak and tannic grapes. Really nice complex flavors. I guess you could cellar it, but after 10 months in barrels it tastes pretty good right now. Another fine brew from the former brewer, Cheers Dave!
