In bottle at 1904 Brewhouse. Appearance was medium brown with a thin layer of blotchy suds. Nose was nice with pleasant fruit, light roasted effects, and malt. Flavor was pretty much like the aroma. Delightful.

Clear golden brown w/ a small head. Slightly sweet flavor. It’s a good looking beer. Fairly light bodied. Like a small-brown ale.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle; poured a dirty, muddy, murky, brown color with a big head. Took forever to finish the pour. Nice looking. Aroma of toasted bread, caramel, with some earth, fruit and yeast. Flavor had a much more pronounced herb and spice presence; the hops shine through nicely to compliment a rich caramel and bready presence. Palate was very nice, with a touch of softness. Really nice version of the style.

Massively bitter! I'm talking DFH 90-minute IPA bitter, here, folks. And it lingers, in a roasty, burnt malt with hops sort of way. In fact, the hops taste as if they were badly charred before they went into the brew. I, for one, can't handle it due to its having no other dimension but the hops (the malt seems to have taken the day off), but I'm sure others will love it. I feel there's a huge disconnect between the beer I drank (pictured) and the ratings of others. I have no idea why that is. My beer was bought at Whole Foods, NYC.

"Odd flip top shaped bottle 11.2 oz. In a big 22 oz shapely beerglass. Hazy lighter brown color. Farmy musty barnyard olfactory with a strong alky base aroma of caramel and sweet candy. Oooh, quite a strong initial alky experience. Rather nock you off your pleasant contentment feeling. Rather strong initially, did I say that already? Aroma gets more farmlike as the session continues. Definately a stronger beer but it becomes more acceptable as the session moves past the inception. inish is surprisingly acceptable for a stronger beer. leaves an overal good experience. S6L4F2T4O12"
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours dark brown with a reddish tine. It has a tan rocky head that leaves quickly. Aroma is sweet and rich malt mixed with dark brown sugar. Starts out with a roasty rich toffee feel. It is rich and lighty syrupy. Finish is lightly spicy with a touch of sourness and anise. Very well done alt.
