6/25/05 Garden State Brewfest. Good to see this got some favorable reviews. This was very roasty in flavor with a little bit of molasses/caramel/candy flavors coming in. In some ways this was like a poor man’s Corsendonk Abbey Brown

On tap at Andy’s. Dark brown color with a medium sized tan head. Nice roasted malt aroma with a bit of molasses. Flavor is mostly dark roasted malt, dark chocolate with a slightly bitter finish. Nice smooth mouthfeel.

On tap at Andy’s Nj night. Deep brown in color with a nice tan head. Malty roasty chocolatety aroma with some fruity notes. Caramel notes. Nutty. Flavor is malty and roasty. Very nice. Full bodied. Finish is malty. Smooth. Very drinkable.

Tap at Andy’s NJ night. Brown, nice tan head. Slightly roasty chocolate aroma, with fruity notes and mainly malty goodness. Malty flavors with some roasty character. Full bodied with a malty finish. Really nice brew.

At the Garden State Brewfest 2005. Probably the best of the Basil Ts that day. Not saying that much as I was underwhelmed. A good example of the style, but nothing remarkable to it.. The name was more creative than anything.
