on tap in cambridge brewing company. this brew pours deep bworn with little head, it has a mild aroma that is blended with a lot of elements. so is the flavor. a bit lacking in focus though with so many flavors competing with each other. the finish is bitter.

New England Road Trip Easter ’05 with MartinT, tiggmtl and Rastacouere, beer #60. Very dark amber with decent head retention...slightly roasty nose, also perhaps some diacetyl, but not enough to ruin it...light smokiness in the body, somewhat oily/nutty...almost a rancid quality, but really there’s little here, good or ill.

Sweet fruitiness amongst the creamy tranquility...Soft caramel, peaches and subtle berries in another uber-clean but characterless pint...

i dunno, maybe i was too prejudiced against american ambers before trying this. some brown sugar in the aroma, hint of peanut skins. pretty sweet, raw sugar, mild bitterness
