On tap, September 2009. The Fenway in the name would appear to be part of the name rather than a reference to where it is brewed/available as I had it at the Canal Street location (although I did see it the Fenway location too). No ABV stated. Quite dark reddish colour. Good beige head. Extremely fruity aroma. Sweetish, smooth flavour. Some caramel/toffee notes. Pleasant enough without generating too much excitement. Could use a little more hop bite.

tap at Canal St. location - This brew has a very mild malt aroma. I expected more from an imperial. It has a good bitterness in the taste along with sweet caramel malt. It’s medium bodied and overall a pleasant quaff.
