Jul 5, 2006 Updated: Mar 7, 2009When you open this beer the most amazing aroma fills the room. It gets full points for that without a doubt, this beer smells better than any other beer ive ever had. Fruits, malt, sweetness, and hops all blended together in a perfect harmony. Flavor is malty and just a wonderful blend of hoppiness and mellow sweet malty flavors. Longfellow and I share an affinity for the same town by the sea, and I have quite the affinity for the beer named after him. Best beer shipyard makes by far.

Mar 28, 2006 I remember scoping this out in the 750ml a year or so ago and never got the nerve to pick it up. Finally found it in a smaller bottle though. Redish black hue with the pour and a medium sized coca head. Hopped up toffee, chocolates, sweet raisin and caramel. Somewhat roasted malts after mouth feel. Overall not too bad. Complexity really could use some work in it’s assembly, It wasn’t selling me on the porter-scotch ale hybrid. Elements where there, but not put together. Maybe a few batches on its better?no?

Feb 5, 2006 (22 oz. bottle from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/maine/portland/ target=blank>Downeast Beverage Co.) Body is cola-colored, head is thick, khaki. Nose is chocolate, coffee, vanilla. Some sloppy lacing. Mouthfeel slightly watery. Taste is great and well-rounded - mellow roasted coffee and chocolate finished by mellow bitterness. Real nice, stout-like. Wateriness takes it down a notch.

Jan 27, 2006 Powdered chocolate, sweet cherries and caramel with notes of butterscotch in the aroma. Clear, darkest mahogany brown body is topped by a low, off white head that recedes to partial cover. Chocolatey flavour with caramel and butterscotch apparent. Diacetyl is less apparent in the flavour than the aroma but still notable. Medium body is somewhat slick and oily in texture with rather low carbonation. Bottle sampled with MartinT, Rastacouere and Siroy.
