Lift Bridge Chestnut Hill Brown Ale. Looking at notes from November, 2010:
Lift Bridge. Chestnut Hill. Ale brewed with Cinnamon and Allspice. (Is that barber really giving the photographer the finger, or is it merely an illusion?)
"A rich brown ale with scant amounts of spices for unique layers of flavor. A gentlemanly salute to the pioneering days of yesteryear." So they say.
Dark brown body, crimson at edges, nice toasted tan head. Lookin' good. (Said Freddie Prinze.)
Aroma: soft, nutty, lightly fruity, and yeah, there's that spice just below. Nice stuff.
On the tongue and in the mouth, the spices loom larger. good an malty, bits of cocoa and caramel. Medium bodied, light and good drinkability. Great sessional ale, for those seeking bigger satisfaction. Mmm, nice.
