Newport Storm - Derek (Cyclone Series)
12oz bottle purchased as part of a 6-pack from Julio's, Marlboro, MA. Bottle Code 6-145. Poured into an imperial pint glass, formed a 1 1/2" brown head over the clear dark root beer brown brew. Dense head lasts and lasts, with hevay sticky lacing. Aroma is dark malts, coffee, and maybe some smokiness. Taste tends more toward coffee bitterness, from start to aftertaste. Mouthfeel is alright, but definitely thin for the style, and drinkability is okay as well. Not as extreme as I had hoped, but not a bad brew either.
