There's a couple of new nano breweries in my town. Nothing too impressive except I do enjoy one their black ales.
Mass beer week started this weekend and stopped in to discover they were doing a dark ale graf. It was really good. It didn't have a cider flavor but an apple/skin twang. Odd because whenever I do a cider I've never gotten apple type flavor. And oh! It's called Dark Tower. See if you can figure where that came from.
I was hoping for more from their farmhouse graf. It was simple. Nothing to exciting. It did have the farmhouse funk
Also, went to Cold Harbor and tried two versions of their old stock ale.
The base
The Apple Brandy barrel. I liked the base better. The barrel seemed to take the maltiness down a notch and I didn't get much brandy.
