Well calibrated mahogany-bronzed altbier hides lusty alcohol fueling beneath musty mocha malt profile and dark-spiced dried fruiting. Cherry, fig, date and banana reach a dewy earthen meadow and leafy hop field, picking up a mild vermouth kick on the autumnal trail. Not truly definitive, but close enough.
Spirited fruit-juiced front end picks up piney dry-hopped bittering, tart lemon-rotted souring and mild floral perfuming. Ripe apple, pear, peach, grapefruit, mango, kiwi, apricot and orange tang spreads rapidly across musty Czech pils-like malt bill. Lively Northwest IPA re-creates West Coast tropical forestry well.
Judiciously flavored Alpha-hopped beauty (with hidden 10% alcohol luster) loads pine-fruited juiciness across floral juniper bittering to its biscuity dough bottom. Tropical mango-banana-pineapple-pear conflux and massive apple-candied sweetness contrast orange-peeled yellow grapefruit souring. Bright citric-floral Centennial hop aromatics prove stylishly authentic.
Mighty straight-up dark-roasted coffee bean theme really hits the mark with superb accuracy. Creamy coffee richness soaks dark chocolate, vanilla, espresso and hazelnut undertones, finishing with a convincingly effective hop-charred black coffee bittering. A masterpiece initially imbibed on tap at Andy’s Corner Bar.
Robust full body with bourbon-fueled chocolate-coffee creaming awakening Blackstrap molasses-sapped anise goo. Cherry cordial, sun-dried raisin and purple grape illusions sweeten the backend. Ashen cherrywood undertones and earthen hop-charred resin deepen mocha resonation to oats-roasted bottom.
