COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Technically speaking, this ale can be described as an Extra Special Bitter. What that really means is that more of everything that goes into our bitter is added to the Halloween Ale -- more imported barley and more fresh Goldings hops from East Kent in England. This strong ale is also given some extra time in the conditioning tank, allowing it to mellow considerably.

12 oz. version, which is filtered, is brewed at Shipyard Brewing in Portland; 22 oz. version, which is not filtered and only sold locally, is brewed at Gritty McDuff’s in Freeport

Sample at brewpub. Pours copper with a white head. Leaves trace lacing in glass. Not getting a lot on the nose. A bit fruity on the tongue which might be from its extra slight hoppiness. Finished clean. Eh! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bulk_Carrier (6064) - Vermont, USA - APR 16, 2014
Reviewed from notes. The appearance was a burnt brown colored body and gave a small off white/brown head. Some haunting lacing slowly slid down the glass as the beer went down. The smell had slight caramel and apples with a bit of a woody yeast and earthy hops to it too. The taste was sweet through caramel, light ginger, and apples, mainly an cooked apple aftertaste, hops once the beer warms a bit. On the palate, it sat at/about a medium, sessionable, yeasty finish with some light hops in that. Overall, full-flavored beer that I used to drink when I lived in Maine.

Draft. Pours medium brown with white head that dissipates. Light carbonation mild caramel aroma. Caramel up front with mild spices and brown ale like flavors. Has mild hop flavor and very slight pumpkin taste. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
