Delicious all-consuming coffee-hazelnut essence enamors nose, mouth, and gullet. Registered in U.S. as malt liquor due to feverish 7.8 % alcohol content, sweet Canadian bock coats the throat with uncommon maple-molasses richness.

BRAKSPEAR VINTAGE HENLEY ALE
BRAKSPEAR HENLEY ALE
BRAKSPEAR BITTER
BRAINS TRADITIONAL WELCH ALE
BRAHMA CHOPP PREMIUM LAGER
Musty, ill-defined, grain-based straw-yellowed pale lager backs strong malt liquor aroma with sour yeast astringency. Reminiscent of bland middle of the road Czech beer, but too watery and soapy to be halfway assertive. Though lacking maintained corn-sugared finish, its grassy hop fizz will draw novices and blue collar fans alike. Cheap lawnmower fare.
BOWES DOUBLE DRY
(TIMMERMANS) BOURGOGNE DES FLANDRES
Significant 8.4-ounce Flanders-styled Flemish sour ale with sweet burgundy essence aided by dried raisin-prune sourness and oaken cherry-raspberry tartness. Lactic brown-sugared chocolate-vanilla midst leverages wood-singed earthen grains and plush floral potpourri. Not unlike finest port wines and perfect as after dinner treat, this slow sipper is highly recommended.
BOULEVARD ZON WITBIER
BOULEVARD UNFILTERED WHEAT ALE
Mainstream fizzy-hopped pilsner loses sugary wheat luster by third passing, where sunny lemon zest rises to the top. Fragile citric-herbed finish recedes quickly over mild mineral grained backdrop. On second tasting 2014: zestier lemony grapefruit-pineapple tartness and riper navel orange, mandarin orange and tangerine tang engage easygoing sugared spicing.
