Pours black into a shaker. Mocha micro head with good retention recedes leaving thin sheets. Chocolate aromas. Dry with sweet milk chocolate upfront to back and into the lasting espresso finish.

Can in NYC with Chris. Pours clear, red-brown with a weak, fading tan head. Brown bread in the nose, hints of cocoa and earth. Light to medium sweet flavor with lightly toasted bread, some dry leaves. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Moderately sweet finish, some earthy and leafy bitterness, toast. Pretty bland overall, though not offensive.

Can at home in Salisbury. Pours clear gold with a sturdy, off-white foam head. Some orangey citrus in the aroma, a bit of lightly toasted, bready malts. Light sweet flavor, some metallic bite, vaguely doughy malts, orange, dry pine needles. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Moderate bitterness to finish, some lightly earthy grass, bread. It’s alright overall, though not especially cohesive.

It pours a cloudy dark brown with a good one inch foamy lumpy tan head. Foamy lacing is left around the sides of my nonic. The body is too dark for any carbonation to be seen rising. The smell has the toasted oats and walnut up front with an ever so faint sense of hops in the background. The taste has the previously stated elements and combines some nice caramel tones. The palate is about a medium, slightly dry and a bit watery, but a decent watery. Overall, I was a bit skeptical in the beginning when I saw the price, but am glad I bought it to try a style I’m used to and like from a company I’ve never had any of their stuff. I’d probably have this again, but definitely as a novelty because of the price.

It pours a golden color and leaves the same color body. With a one inch foamy white head, there is a nice spider webbed lacing speckling the pint glass. Some light carbonation is seen slowly rising. The smell has a good combination between the malts and the hops. The taste is even between the malts and hops. I would say this is very drinkable. The palate is about a light to medium with a good crispness lingering about it. There is nothing harsh on the tongue. Overall, this is a decent brew, standard and solid, but for the price, I’m not sure if I would have come back to it.

Can courtesy of AirForceHops. Nutty, chocolate malt, and very light roast coffee aroma. Clear chestnut with a medium creamy off-white head. Light chocolate, toasted nuts, and light coffee flavor. Medium body, moderate carbonation. This is an excellent brown ale, and very easy drinking.

22 oz. bottle from Downtown Discount Beverage, Dover ,Nh for $11.99. Nose is very phenolic ; with Yeast, clove and fruit. Flavor is rather sweet and fruity, with caramel malts, yeast, wheat and maybe pear. This sat in my cellar from about 10 months; not sure if that’s why I don’t detect ABV or if it’s just hidden that well. The mouthfeel is real soft with Carbonation being real low. Overall, I think this is very good; above average. It may not live up to some of the true Belgians. However, The brewer did a fine job with this style.
