En bouteille 75 cl trouvée sur Beergium. Belle couleur noire à reflets rubis, mousse brunâtre. Nez fruité et vineux : prune, raisin, sirop, chocolat, café. Bouche douce sur le café, le pruneau, le chocolat, un peu de candi et bien sûr des malts rôtis bien en évidence. Bonne amertume finale. Stout frais en bouche, gouleyant, atypique et au total succulent.

’Stoutish’ porter with molasses, vintage bottle still with the previous label, first beer from this Massachusetts brewery for me. Thick, creamy, regularly shaped, pale yellowish beige, lightly lacing mousse atop a very dark, burgundy-hued bronze, near to blackish but still largely translucent and hazy. Elegant and refined aroma of liquorice candy, soggy brown bread, dried cranberries and dito plums, pear syrup, dark berry jam, pistachio nuts, black olives, tea leaves, molasses, gravy, orange peel, dried porcini. Restrained, clean but adequate fruitiness in the onset, lots of raisin and candied fig flavors, sweetish with a brambleberry-like sourish undercurrent, very subtle black olive-like umami touch, bit leathery even in the end, with soft carbo and ’fluffy’, smooth and notably resinous mouthfeel. Caramelly, toffeeish malt middle, sweet with a toasted bitterish edge becoming more pronounced in the finish, meeting with a dash of peppery hop bitterness but remaining gentle and adding liquorice and molasses flavors in the tail, with drying, softly spicy and sweetish effect. Aromatic, elegant beer, which apparently ages graciously, motivating to find out more about this brewery. Much more a robust porter than anything stout-like, though.
