TOPPLING GOLIATH RUSH HOLLOW MAPLE ALE
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, succinct souped-up blonde ale utilizes treacly maple syruping to sweeten spritzy lemon spicing and mild cinnamon toasted powdered sugaring secured by honeyed wheat base.
PORT CITY RAUCHBIER
Just a tad slick and lacking overall seared beechwood residue, Americanized Bavarian smoked lager lets meat-cured pastrami and salami onslaught recede alongside peat-smoked brown tea mustiness, rye-spiced pumpernickel toasting and stylish Band-aid waft as misty lemon fizzing settles in.
PORT CITY HAZY IPA
Soft-toned dry-hopped NEIPA eases lightly embittered orange pith, white grapefruit and salty pineapple tang plus delicate mango-peach-tangerine conflux above mild wheated oats. Too subtle and less creamy than most of its northeast style, but highly sessionable.
PORT CITY TMAVE PIVO CZECH-STYLE DARK LAGER
Plodding cocoa-powdered Bakers chocolate dryness gains modest nut charred coffee tones and mildewy brown-leafed hop astringency.
PORT CITY BEACH DRIVE GOLDEN ALE
Nearly nebulous straw clear moderation with not enough floral yellow grapefruit and mandarin orange zesting to overcome astringent hop peppering and bland seltzer spritz. At least its lightly toasted white bread Pilsner-Vienna malt base sits pretty.
THE BRUERY CATCH ME IF YOU CAN BOURBON BARREL AGED IMPERIAL STOUT
On tap at Taphouse 15, decadent molasses gingerbread cookie with chocolate pudding skin fudginess and light bourbon vanilla inkling over honeyed Graham Cracker base. Wintry ginger-spiced cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice seasoning and subtle pecan-hazelnut-chestnut triage amidst chewy cookie dough thickness.
MAST LANDING IMPERIAL GUNNER’S DAUGHTER
On tap at Taphouse 15, “decadent” amped up Gunner’s Daughter gains richer chocolate nougat center, deeper espresso-milked black coffee tones and subtler peanut buttering than original version. Beyond the nutty mocha insistence, caramelized banana, bourbon vanilla, hazelnut paste and Nutella illusions further sweeten impressive milk stout.
WELDWERKS CREATURE FROM THE CHOCO-NANA HAZELNUT LAGOON MILK STOUT
On tap at Taphouse 15, milk-sugared hazelnut chocolate sweetness and banana pureed creaming unite for rich confectionery stout. Chocolate-dipped banana dessert treat picks up hazelnut, walnut and buttered pecan snips.
PIPEWORKS RUDOLPH VS. UNICORN PEPPERMINT IMPERIAL STOUT
On tap at Ambulance, peppermint bark-dried stout brings subtle menthol minting to bittersweet cocoa nibs chalking as teasing burgundy, black grape and oaken vanilla illusions flutter. A tad too dry and murkily flavored.
ROOT + BRANCH THIEVES LIKE US ROBUST PORTER
On tap at Taphouse 15, dry mocha-bound full body brings black-malted coffee tones to dark-roast chocolate malting and nutty hop char above oats-toasted smoked wheat.
HUMBLE ABODE PEANUT BUTTER PORTER
Creamy peanut buttering consumed viscous porter, retaining chocolate truffle, toasted almond and hazelnut chocolate bark illusions to contrast mild walnut-charred hop roast.
