Commercial Description:
This beer is indeed a full-bodied Strong Ale; a Hybrid between a Porter and a Scottish Ale…
This hearty winter warm ale is named in honor of American poet Henry Longfellow.

I remember the black wharves and the ships, and the sea tides tossing free……. And the beauty and mystery of the ships, and the magic of the sea. –“My Lost Youth”

On tap at Redlight Redlight. Dark brown pour with huge creamy head. Aroma of roasted nuts and carmalized sugars. Flavor of chocolate, nuts, and raisins. Very thick. Like a meal in a glass! Very sticky.

650 ml bottle. A tiny choco head upon a dark shining mahogny body with a ruby hue. Modest aroma of chocolate, canned fruits and hazelnuts. Notes of floral hops and perfume. Medium sweet, toasted dark malts in the flavor, toghether with a distintct acidulous fruitiness and some dusty, papery hops. Medium to light-bodied. Fruity bitterness in the ending. Approved.

bottle to mug. dark brown / amber with very little head. No lacing. Decent aroma. Malty with a little bitter kick at the end. Seems more like a brown ale to me.
