On tap at the brewpub. Reddish body with little head, but noticeable lace. Roasted malt, mollasses, good drinkability. Tasted British style, apparently the original Franklin recipe with corn, which gave it an unusual sweetness. Average mouthfeel.

Tap @ brewpub. Supposedly this is Ben Franklin’s recipe and it’s made with molasses and corn. Dark maroon body with a medium sized tan/violet head. Sweet amber malts with some nuttiness in the nose. Flavor is a fairly basic amber ale but quite a bit sweeter due to the obvious molasses character. Mouthfeel is a little syrupy. Not bad but too sweet and too syrupy for my taste.
