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 65 cl) Pours a beautiful, clear mahogany with a reddish tint and an off-white head. Lightly nutty aroma. Fairly light body with hard roasted, malty notes ending rather bitter. Starts rather anonymous but does develop some sort of personality. 011206

Bottled. Mahogany colour, rich but brief head. Complex aroma of madeira, hay, cinnamon, chcolate and caramel. Medium bodied with clean crystal malt character. Notes of pears and butterscotch. Resiny finish with lingering bitterness. Very interesting flavourwise, but with too clean mouthfeel to work as a winter warmer.

Bottled (thanks omhper). Rubyish, almost black colour, mediumsized brown head. Aroma is bigtime smoked wood, roasted malts, chocolate and some slight fruityness lurking in the background. Flavour is coffee, smoked wood, some roasted malts, chocolate and and mild grassy and fruity notes in there too. Slightly acidic smoked woodenlike aftertaste.
