On-tap at Beer Works Fenway
A: The beer pours, not surprisingly, a red-amber color with a finger of off-white head.
S: Aromas of toasted bread and toffee to begin with. The hops follow with some grassy notes and a bit of citrus peel. It becomes a bit more caramel forward as the beer warms up a bit.
T: The flavor is very similar. While the balance of hop and malt character is good, the flavors sort of clash. Bitter pine and citrus peel don't seem to meld well with the toast, toffee, and caramel flavors.
M: The body is medium with smooth, medium carbonation.
O: There was something about the flavor that was just a little bit off to me, otherwise not bad.

Poured on-tap at Canal Street, and served in a pint glass. The beer is a dark, ruby-auburn coloring, with a ring of yellowish, filmy head. Slight, semisweet nose, with hints of caramel malty tang. The flavor is roasty, with a deep malt sweetness, and a bit of the deep, dark Wee Heavy tangy sweetness. Just a kiss of hops to clean up the palate at the end. The beer leaves rings on the glass as you go, with a dark and bittersweet aftertaste and a cloying, rich finish. Okay, but leans towards overpowering on the flavor profile if you drink in mass quantity.

Pours a dark red body w/ a good head on it that died slow and this is on top of a basic aroma mixed w/ hops and malts. Taste is the same - while not going to knock off socks or anything there is a blend of citric hops and some spicy caramel malt and I found this beer had a good balance and was easy to drink.
