Any first impressions?
-A long-lasting head covered the warming deep red.
-Toffee nuttiness and cherry undertones are dissolved into a dusty yeast aroma.
-Sweet, fruity maltiness and dryish yeastiness disagree on the destination.
-The expansive carbonation comfortably breaks on the tongue.

What if you dig deeper?
-Citrusy hoppiness is occasionally found in the nose and in the flavor profile.
-The stale yeast’s agenda seems to prevent the rest of the beer from expressing itself.
-An under average brown ale with yeast issues is what I got. Forgettable, certainly.

Bottle; no date.

Explodes out of bottle and pours a light tan, five+ finger head that goes quickly and leaves some lace. Slightly cloudy amber color. Light carbonation and medium bodied. Nose is somewhat malty. Starts malty but the hops come in giving a dry finish. $1.83 for a 12oz bottle from Maine Coast Brewery Bar Harbor, Me.

Average for a brown ale. Nuttiness, yogurt and cookie dought can be detected on the nose. Taste is a bit flat with some peppery undertones, but otherwise very sub par compared to some of the beers I was spoiled on during my stay in Bar Harbor.

Aroma is acceptable, roasted malts typical of any brown really. The appearance was a brownish red color. Taste was where the beer really failed as far as i’m concerned. A little watery, and I too could taste that metallic almost dirty taste which is present in their oatmeal stout also. Not a very good pick at all.
