12 oz bottle served in a clear pint glass. Pour is a deep brown with 2 fingers of fluffy beige head. Nose is malt, yeast, and light spice. Taste is spritzy hops, toffee, caramel, and a bit of sour lingering into the finish. Not too bad, not fantastic either.

Dec 14, 2009 Boston Brewing makes a lot of different beers and they are all remarkably average. Not great, but not bad. This is right in there with the rest. From a 12 oz bottle this pours a medium brown color with a big foamy beige head and light lacing. The nose is of caramel malts with a hints of chocolate, nuttiness, light roastiness. The flavor is medium sweet, and again showing the nuts, caramel, an d some chocolate. Light to medium body and mildly sticky. OK, drinkable, and average.

Nov 26, 2009 Pours to a medium tan head that laps at the side of the mug. Very smooth taste that is not bitter and doesn’t leave an aftertaste. You can definately smell the caramel in the aroma.

Nov 19, 2009 12oz Bottle. This beer is like so many Sam Adams renditions of classic styles, bland and too sweet. The aroma was a minimal nutty browness. Poured copper hickory, with little head. Flavor was of general slightly roasted malt. A bit too much residual sweetness, little distinguishing character in terms of ester or mineral profiles. Finishes quietly. Whatever.

Nov 10, 2009 Hints of hops and alcohol with a caramel, malt backbone. The appearance is the best thing about this beer, nice foamy head on top of a nice dark beer with velvet edges. Good, but a little weak in the hops and biscuit characteristics that I like in a brown ale. A little on the thin side as well. Doesn’t knock my socks off.

Nov 4, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a dark brown color with a medium off white head. It has a molasses and malt aroma. It tastes of biscuit, caramel, chocolate and a little espresso with a roasted flavor. I enjoyed this beer.

Nov 3, 2009 Bottle. Pours a brown, clear color with a minimal white, frothy head. Lacing is very weak. Aromas of molasses, brown sugar, and a hint of caramel. Very clean mouthfeel with minimal staying power - also a crisp finish. Flavors of roasted malts, brown sugar, and some caramel. Okay but Sam does better beers.
