1L howler from the brewpub. Gee, guys, thank you for deigning to sell me your product in a to-go format. Fucking hell.
This beer pours a clear, dark bronzed amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, rocky, and mildly bubbly tan head, which leaves some decent pitted limestone wall lace around the glass as things slowly sink out of sight.
It smells of biscuity and crackery caramel malt, some free-range ashiness, day-old coffee grounds, and some plain earthy, musty, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, wet breakfast biscuits, bittersweet cocoa powder, wet char, still kind of stale coffee, and more leafy, weedy, and floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is pretty laid-back in its wan-seeming frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with very little getting in the way of a mediocre time at this point in the game. It finishes off-dry, the biscuity malt predominating.
Overall - this is an enjoyable and complex version of the style, nice and robust in its malt and hop flavour scheme. I still don't know what a "Mars Hill" is (other than from the Bible, the actual planet, or the university), so I will just rely on the 'Mars Attacks' meme recently provided by the brewery to keep me happy in the afterglow.
