Bar Harbor Real Ale (Atlantic Brewing Co.)

I didn't actually know that this was a brown ale for quite some time. I guess when I think "Real Ale" I think of a golden colored ale. This is a great beer on tap and I'd love to find it on cask somewhere in Maine. I am sure that would be pretty amazing.

Pours a nice deep brown with a very tall, fluffy head. The fluff doesn't last long and before I get a sip its down to a quarter inch clinging to the sides of the glass.

Smells heavenly. Very toasty, malty with some molasses and coffee notes. 

Taste is rich. I get a lot of toast and sweetness along with some nice juiciness in the finish. This is a very tasty brown ale. I've still yet to have an Atlantic beer that has left me wanting more. You can't go wrong with anything this brewery puts out.
