On-tap 1/31/2016 at Natty Greene’s Tavern in North Attleboro, MA, served in a snifter glass.

A: The beer is a deep reddish brown color, with a large off-white head that fades slowly and leaves a thick lace on the glass.

S: The aroma is faint but contains brown sugar, dark fruit, caramelized malts and some hops.

T: The taste starts out sweet with flavors of caramel, dark fruit and brown sugar. The malt character is hearty and there’s a decent hops presence that create some balance. The after-taste is slightly sweet.

M: Crisp and a little smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.

O: A little tasty, goes down ok, not too filling, strong kick, decent representation of style, it’s a decent beer but there are definitely better choices available within the style.

Caramel malt and sweet stone fruit with faint hop presence on the finish. Nice thick texture. Well balanced. Very good.

On tap at the Pittsford Pub in Pittsford, NY.

This one pours a nice dark-ish brown, with a very small head, and a little bit of lacing.

Smells like toasted bread, a bit of dark fruit, and a good dose of citrusy and piney hops.

This isn't bad, but feels a bit plain. It's pretty bread, a little fruity, with some citrusy and slightly bitter hops. It feels maybe a little bit muted, though. Doesn't taste bad, just wish it was a little bolder.

This has a slightly thin mouthfeel, but not super badly so. The carbonation level is pretty normal.

I'm sure this would be helped immensely by barrel-aging. It feels kinda like a blank canvass.
