Cask gravity at GBBF 2015 day 2. Opaque black caramel brown coloured pour with a fading ran head. Aroma is menthol, nutty, milk choc, light apple. Flavour is nutty, spices wood, cedar, menthol, little thin, powdered choc. Palate is a but thin, moderate to low carbonation. Under whelming.

Cask at GBBF 2015. It pours dark brown with minimal head. The nose is toasty, earthy roast, mild acidity, dark fruits, fruit compote, light jam and light spice. The taste is smooth, toasty, earthy, leather, dark roast, caramel, sweet coffee, cocoa and pepper with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Simple and drinkable porter. Not bad.

On tap at The American Craft Beer Fest Yesterday. Rich chocolatey sweet roasty porter, I’d drink the crap out of these if they were sold in NH.

Draft at Willimantic. Clear bright golden yellow color, thick white head. Aroma of citrus and straw. Taste is lemony bread dough. Nice.

Another disappointment from Back East. Thinner than most Imperial Stouts out there. Coffee and dark chocolate in the aroma and flavor, but a really heavy booze burn in the nose and tongue. Nothing very interesting or well crafted here.

On draft, smells of soap, caramel malts?, cough syrup. Taste is the same, I cant get over the medicinal flavor, really unappetizing.
