onelin's onomatopoeia

We went to a local beer tasting on Saturday, and were introduced to a lot of new beers.

One of them is a uniquely named beer from Holyoke, Massachusetts.

Enter Saint Botolph's Town, from the Pretty Things beer and ale project.

It's described on the bottle as a rustic dark ale. Mine had a sticker on it saying it was bottled February, 09 - the first batch, so this is a new beer.

On taste, it is dark and smooth. I quite like it. On aroma, it has a familiar scent but I can't place it. The label art is pretty cool, and is what drove the purchase since no one was manning the table that this beer was at.

We noticed another beer by Pretty Things, Jack D'or, which I am eager to try. I'll report back once I have.

For now, I'd give it a 7.5 to 8 on taste. Check it out if you live in the area.
