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. Pours a reddish brown with a off-white. Faint aroma of light roasted malts, caramel, and a hint of chocolate. Thin flavor of roasted malts, light chocolate, caramel, and a note of molasses thin bodied with a light bitter finish.

bottle, last one available in the local liquor store. Pours really dark. Soo easy to drink for a smoky porter’ish brew. A near session beer.

Very dark brown color; some creamy head. Good body, with strong caramel and chocolate flavor; unfortunately the roasted malt flavor is a bit too strong.

On cask at Rossi’s Pizzeria, Orlando, Florida. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is malty and rich. Flavor is malt, sweet, with a mildly hoppy finish. Mouthfeel was very soft and rich.

Bottle. Thanks to ekstedt. Dark reddish brown with an offwhite head. Smell is dominated by fudge and some malt. Some bitterness. Fizzy from carbonation.

Excellent gift form Tibeeriou’s fav collection. Warm and smooth, warm or cold, though lacks a bit in body still an tasteful choice. Warming finish.
