Notes:
“Ten Penny Ale,” our flagship brew is a smooth, amber-hued mellow version of a Scottish Ale. It’s a good “session ale” and was awarded “Hartford’s Best Microbrew” for 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2009 by The Hartford Advocate’s Readers Poll. This beer is available year-round at your local bar or favorite beer store.

Why “Ten Penny?” My grandfather used to say “You can get a good beer for a nickel, but a really good beer will cost you ten pennies!” (Motto: Work hard, drink well… Ten Penny Ale!)

3.63/5  rDev -1.9%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

Poured into a pint glass

Appearance: light brown in color, 1 inch head, clear, moderate carbonation

Smell: toasted malt, peat, and earth

Taste: caramel, flowers, toasted malt, cocoa, and bittering earthiness

Mouthfeel: light bodied for the style, moderate carbonation, sweet with earthy bitterness

Overall: A nice and sessionable Scotch ale that hits all the right points but is never overbearing. I could have several pints of this. I like Scotch ales and have had several, so this is above average compared to all Scotch Ales, but is still a treat.

Serving type: growler

look: 3.75 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75

Growler from Beer Universe, Saugerties, NY.

Fluffy taupe over tea-like orange amber.
Brack, peanut and maybe candied apple nose.
Red pear, red licorice, and raisins, then tea leaf and tobacco hops.
Chewy, light-medium, dry.

Clean, light, and drinkable. No hops to speak of. A speck of chocolate malt in there. Nothing groundbreaking, but simple and classy.

Serving type: growler
