Bottle. 5.2% per BridgePort website. Light aroma of chocolate and malt. Clear ruby brown color with a beige head that didn’t stick. Medium mouthfeel, light chocolate, a slight rush of malt, and residual chocolate with slight hop in the finish. Very smooth, very light, probably good with certain foods. Nice, but it does not seem very substantial.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Clear cola and walnut brown colored body with a tan head. Nose is maple malt and brown sugar, light notes of toast, and a small lactic yeast note. Crisp and wet flavor, crusty toasted grains, wet bread, some walnut flavored toasted bread... decent enough for a brown ale but nothing to see here either...

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle: Pellucid mahogany, creamy tan head, light lacing. Nose of light toast and vague spicy hop notes. The flavor is moderate bodied with a little fig and caramel bread. Thin finish, no cohesion and a ho-hum overall appeal. Nice body though.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Head is initially small, frothy, light brown, mostly diminishing. Body is medium to dark brown. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (nuts, caramel, toasted bread), lightly hoppy (herbs). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Clearly made for carefree easy-drinking. A basic, cookie-cutter rendition. Nothing wrong, but nothing much of interest either.

On tap at the brewpub during ABA Beer Tour 07. Pours a clear reddish brown amber brew with a thin off-white head that quickly disappears. Aroma of mild caramel, milk chocolate, some oatmeal and a touch of honey. Taste is lightly carbonated, medium bodied with flavors of chocolate and flowery hops. Finish is light, smooth with a good balance of malt and bitter aftertaste.
