Buckminster
Zero Gravity Craft Brewery

Poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a semi-clear light brown color with a wisp of a little white foamy head that slid off at a moderate pace. Slight strings of lace ran here and there.
The aroma had a nice blend of sweet to roasted nuts, light coffee, gentle earthiness and a little bit of milk chocolate.
The flavor was moderately sweet running into the roasted notes fairly well. Some caramel/toffee character developed as it warmed. Mild aftertaste of the sweet nuts with roast and earthiness.
The mouthfeel was between light and medium bodied with a good sessionability about it. Carbonation felt good. ABV felt as projected, nice and low. Really nice smooth and sweet finish with just a touch of roastiness.
Overall, pretty nice English brown ale that I would love to have again.

On tap at Flatbread Burlington.
Mostly clear light brown with a decent sized off white head. Rich caramel and hints of toffee with light fruitiness and just enough earthy hops to balance. Might be all the hops I had before this, but this is a damn fine English style brown ale.

On cask @ Blakback Pub. A nice English Brown Ale with nothing special to note. The cask treatment brought out the flaovurs nicely and the ABV makes this a nice sessionable beer.

 

On tap at Vermont tap house in Williston, VT. This was poured into a pint glass. The appearance was a hazy burnt brown color with a bar pour’s kind of head that dissipated immediately. The smell started off with a sliding sweet arrangement of sweet milk chocolate, nuts and coffee. The taste was mainly sweet through the chocolate. The nuts amplify the sweetness but also lead into a semi-grainy to dry bitter coffee bean. There’s a nice light sweet aftertaste leading into a sweet nutty finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly light and feels fairly smooth and creamy on my tongue. Overall, I say this was a pretty good English Brown ale that I would have again.
