Nihon (188), Vernon, Connecticut, USA Jul 15, 2008 Typical ale aroma with a hint of cinnamon. Flavor is a little weak/off tasting, I’m getting a lot of cinnamon, like a holiday beer. Off flavors hurt this one. Suttree (2270), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Jul 12, 2008 I would be too easy to make a joke about brawn butter and shipyard, so I’ll skip it. But it tasted buttery. It did. PhillyBeer2112 (1815), Orange Park, Florida, USA Jul 8, 2008 Funny name for a beer, should I expect a shellfish in the bottle? Or drink it alongside lobster? Reddish amber color, minimal head. Aroma is weird, a bit of buttered bread and a vague apricot fruitiness. Flavor is butterscotch diacetyl, a light caramel, and then a huge earthy woody bitterness in the finish. Not sure but tastes like northern brewer hops. I happen to hate northern brewer, so there’s that. metsbcd (79), Connecticut, USA Jun 29, 2008 Had it on tap at a restaurant. It was ok, but really didn’t have all that much flavor to it. At least it didn’t actually taste like lobster. That would just be weird in a beer. WeeHeavySD (1564), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Jun 28, 2008 12oz. Bonus from a long ago trade. Poured into a pint. Pours Amber with a big foamy head. Slightly sweet nose. Light taste overall a dp for me.
