Bitterer stout lovers will indulge this black chocolate embittered full body and its piney Centennial-Simcoe hop char. Dark-roast mocha malting picks up seared walnut and Brazil nut influence as well.

GHOST HAWK SENTIENCE
On tap at Stosh’s, briskly embittered West Coast-styled pale ale lets lingered floral cologne musk and stiff juniper bite sink into lemony orange pith dryness contrasting red apple and tangerine sweetness of IPA-designed medium body. Mildly piney Centennial/ Mandarina Bavaria hop blend promotes perfumed citrus oiling above dry pale malting.
GHOST HAWK NEOGENESIS CREAM ALE
On tap at Taphouse 15, crisp straw-cleared pre-Prohibition styled cream ale places maize-dried corn flaking next to lightly herbal spiced hops and sunny lemon flicker for easygoing moderation.
GHOST HAWK BALATON CHERRY WHEAT
On tap at Taphouse Grille – Wayne, faded sweet-tart cherry influence dulled out over pallid white wheat base. Balaton cherry stead picks up lemon-puckered green grape tannins for dry fruited finish.
GHOST HAWK HAPSBURG VIENNA LAGER
On tap at Plank Pizza, classic coppery marzen retains soft nitro-like flow as biscuit-honeyed melanoidin malts and sweet peat mossing pick up mild cellared fungi. More modestly offbeat than classic.
GHOST HAWK LONDON BRIDGE ENGLISH PORTER
On tap at Taphouse Grille – Wayne, dry English porter retains coffee-stained dark chocolate roast infiltrated by wood-seared hop char, raw molasses bittering, mild walnut tannins and sour soy milking. At the finish, caramel-burnt mocha malting adds some contrastive sweetness.
GHOST HAWK STICK & MOVE ROGGENBIER
On tap at Plank Pizza, underwhelming German roggenbier (with unfulfilled rauchbier influence) does avoid soapiness of many Americanized models, but its toned down beechwood-smoked rye malting lacks serious meat-cured salami endurance despite the perky black peppered citrus insistence.
GHOST HAWK PUTIN HUYLO
Soft-toned Ukrainian strong ale calls out Putin and begs comparisons to a fruity IPA with a clean vodka kick. Uniform grapefruit, orange, peach and mango tanginess gains mild Perle hop earthiness to complement citrus-spiced Saphir hop splendor over delicate caramelized pilsner malting.
GHOST HAWK SAISON D’AUTOMNE
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, complex atypical farmhouse ale loads black-peppered herbal perfuming to lemony saffron minting and earthen floral musk. Basil, sage, catnip, spearmint and sassafras illusions waver for slightly enigmatic off-centered moderation.
GHOST HAWK CERAMIC TIES IMPERIAL NEW ENGLAND WHEAT IPA
Soft-toned sour lemon spritz receives tangy yellow grapefruit reminder and hasty herbal tinge above dry pale malted straw wheat base. A fizzier, lighter-bodied, less filling IPA.
GHOST HAWK BEIRA STRONG SCOTCH ALE
Dewy peat-smoked Scotch malts spread across rye honeyed chocolate malting and waddle seeded cocoa powdering as wispy chestnut, toffee and chocolate orange illusions flutter for durable moderate-medium body.
GHOST HAWK ST. ALBANS
On tap at Plank Pizza, sumptuous garnet-hued Belgian singel brings dark candi-sugaring to bittersweet dried fruiting and glazed chestnut sweetness. Laidback burgundy-wined plum, prune, raisin and purple grape illusions pick up sour cream milking at the finish.
