Mystic Seaport Tavern Brown Ale

Formerly brewed at Shipyard Brewing Company
Style: Brown Ale
Portland, Maine USA

Bottle. Pours brown with a small but sticky off white head. Smells of tea, dough, some caramel and peppery. Tastes of dark chocolate and caramel. Surprising syrupy mouthfeel. Very drinkable.

Must of been a good day on the bottling line. The label on the bottle was for the brown ale, the neck band was extoling the virtues of their pale ale, silly boys. Poured a small light brown head that hung around for a bit, moderate lace. Clear, brown color with a red glow. Caramelly nose with toasted malts. Medium body, lightly creamy. Caramel flavors dominate, hops are in there somewhere, lightly grainy. Finish is dry, grainy. I,m probably giving it a higher score than it really deserves but i,m a fan of the caramel flavor, soooo.Thanks Jeff!

Pours a dark reddish brown with little head but adequate lacing. Aroma is sweet caramel, chocolate, and plentiful earthy hops. Flavor starts a bit bready, with chocolate and light roasty flavors, as well as caramel. Finish is nice and dry, with a healthy hop bite and earthy hop flavor. Very nice, very drinkable, much better than I was expecting.

dark brown colour, creamy head, caramel aroma, bad sourness followed by a strong malty flavor - unbalanced
