Martha's Exchange Restaurant and Brewery, Nashua, New Hampshire.
Enjoyed this beer once again over the weekend at Martha's. Deep black color, thick creamy head, bold chocolatey nose. Beer has a rich mouthfeel and substantial body to it which, combined with the fantastic chocolate palate, will have you convinced you're drinking the finest chocolate ice cream. That is until the roasty bitter finish balances the brew perfectly and reminds you you're drinking a beer. This would be an incredible beer to accompany a rich chocolate dessert, but in my book serves fine as dessert itself. Truly exceptional.
On 12/15/1998 I took these notes:
I made it up to Nashua this weekend with a few friends, and was reminded again how fortunate that city is to have the brewing talent it does. Brett Marcy and John Jepson at Martha's Exchange and Darryl Goss at the Skyview Cafe are constantly brewing a wide array of styles, and each interpretation is quite on the mark.
We stopped at Martha's first and enjoyed the crisp, malty Main Street
Pilsner, well balanced with a grassy, herbal hop finish, domestic Hallertaus
as I recall (I had taken tasting notes but lost them in the course of the
day). The Alt beer had good malt body and appropriate hops in the finish,
and the porter (Paddy Wagon? John?) was a sheer delight, slightly roasty but
not overly so, rich, smooth, and chocolatey, dangerously drinkable.
And remember, try a new beer today, and drink outside the box.
