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”

Bottle. Dark brown, mainly clear. Small tan head, some lacing. Diacetyl is first smell and punches through anything else. Buttery to the max. Prickly mouthfeel. Caramel sweetness. Thin, buttery, and boring.

Nice creamy stouty foam witch sadly has a short life span, and the beer is black as winter in Sweden Very nice initial taste but sadly a pretty watery and light finish. Caramel, chocolate tones, bready russins, slight roasted, espresso and fresh citric light fruity flavors, a bit spiciness.. Medium in body with a light porter finish. Creamy at first and light watery bitter finish. Well its “only 5,9” so a light porter feel about it. A bit sweet nutty and hoppy sensation dripped in a pool of chocolate with malty russins.. Not that well blanced.. works nicely in a cold winter evening Nothing really special but nice bottle and nice concept. Cheers!

22 fl oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a diminished tan head. Aroma is mild roasted caramel and chocolate malty. Light spiced too. Hardroasted malty with a nice acidic touch to a smooth chocolate malty base flavour. Light bitter and acidic finish. Lingering chocolate malty finish.

Bottle at Funky Buddha. Brown pour. Aroma is malty, caramel, fruit and a slight hit of hops. Flavor is slightly sweet, fruity and has some nutiness as well. Finishes with a dose of hops.
