@Pauls Gathering courtesy of Adam/microgrog-22oz bottle-pours a tight light brown head and dark brown color. Aroma is medium/dark malt-chocolate/roasty, faint earthy hops. Taste is medium/dark malt-chocolate/roasty, faint astringent/earthy hops.

Pours a two finger light brown head that fades quickly to a ring leaving no lace. Black color, no highlights. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied. Roasted coffee nose. Flavor is almost sweet roasted, smokey coffee. $4.49 for a 22oz bottle from Barb’s Beer Emporium Concord, NH.

Review #600 for me. From the 1 pint 6 fl. oz. bottle. The pour is very dark and just about black. There is limited head. The aroma is more like a Porter than a Nut Brown with a vibrant smoky scent intermingled with chocolate malts. The mouthfeel is bold. The taste has a nutty base but it is not overpowering. I taste something more roasty and tart with a sappy hoppiness that seems to penetrate all of my upper senses. It was a nice beer.

Bottle @ Paul’s tasting for Kan. Best of the three Manchester brews of the night. Black pour with some brown head. Flavorful nut, and mild citrusy note.

Bottle. Pours a nutty brown body with a yellowish tan head. Toasty with some coffee tones ash and light smoke. Roasted bitterness and a mild chocolate note. Nice.

Bottle at Paul’s place for Kan’s visit. Pours a deep brown with a thin tan head. Caramel, coffee, toffee, smoke, chocolate. Medium bodied, roast and acrid bitterness. Finishes with more roast bitterness.

22 oz bottle purchased at a local gas and go. Pours a dark brown/almost black with a disappearing thin tan head. Aroma is chocolate and malt. Palate is moderate to heavy bodied with low level carbonation. Smooth on the tongue. Flavor is dark chocolate, vanilla bean and roasted malt. This brew was more of a stout than any brown ale I’ve experienced. I wish there was a picture of the label. It’s a hoot. It’s a picture of the comic strip Nancy all grown up w/boobs, wearing sexy lingerie and fishnet stockings with a whip in her hand.

Dark, rich brown pour with a fizzy tan head. Aroma is strong malt base with hints of chocolate and some tobacco. Flavor is strong tobacco and coffee with some dark bitter chocolate notes and some citrus tang and bitter mint. Another good one off the Manchester Brewing line.
