Very malty, very mild, minimal hops detected. Not a lot going on here, but it is a good session - style beer.

12 oz bottle. Pours a deep brown/red color with a thin white head. Nose is mild hops & grains. Maybe a little fruit. Palate is hearty with average carbonation. Flavor is mostly malts with some floral hop flavor. Nothing special, but not bad either.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Draft. Poured a deep amber body with thin head. Aroma is light malt and caramel. Flavor is light caramel, sweet maltiness and light spices.
