From a growler purchased from their Williamsburg, MA location. A sweet aroma tops the dark brown, reddish on the fringes color. Light mouthfeel with low carbonation. Sweet fruity malty flavor with a lingering brown maltiness with a touch of hops that sit on the tongue for a while. Pretty good.

May 12, 2009 Poured from Growler. Pours dark brown, thin, with a small head. Aroma is bubble gum, cherry syrup, sugar, and raspberry. Very, very fruity sweet. Flavor mirrors aroma, with some malty sweetness that reminds you it is a brown. Kind of a hybrid beer that blends berries, a fruit beer, Belgian yeast, and an American brown. The result is pleasing, though not overall outstanding.

Dec 27, 2008 From a growler given to me at Christmas. Pours a nice medium brown color. Kinda clear with reddish highlights. A vigorous pour yields a nice thick off white head. Nose is malt with some nuts and fruits. Palate is a little thin, but just the right amount of carbonation. Flavor is a mixture of sweet caramel with a strong malt presence. Also a hint of nuts. A decent brown ale, but a little to weak.

Sep 2, 2008 Enjoyed this beer from the growler while in MA. A nice caramel malt aroma, with some roastyness, and some nutty and grainy hops scents too. A rich, brown color with a tint of red and a decent-sized, somewhat creamy, off-white head, with good retention. A nice mixed flavor of sweetness and bitterness, with some malty and nutty flavors. Average dryness on the palate, with good carbonation and a moderate mouthfeel.

Nov 6, 2007 My Bottom Line:
This politely fruity and nutty Brown Ale satisfies with its healthy body and quenching potential, but its cleanliness and servility will not make it memorable to me.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam covers the hazy reddish brown.
-Low hopping in the finish barely offers supporting bitterness.
-The maltiness is not nutty enough for my tastes in the style.
-Earthy toastiness is contributed by the malts as well.
On tap at the brewpub.

Jul 29, 2007 The beer pours medium brown with notes of malt on the nose. This then give us a decent feeling of malt in the palate and a nice long finish.

Jul 13, 2007 On tap at the brewpub, one of their better ones in that it was good for its style. All-malt, and that’s in the aroma. Lots of lace with a white/mocha head, and creamy.

Jul 9, 2007 This was a solid brown ale from someone who really doesn’t enjoy many. Good malt structure yet dry palate kept this beer from getting too sweet. A very good offering from a brewery that can be a bit inconsistent.
