Pallidly seasonally spiced winter ale lacks resilience and allows phenol hop astringency to decay orange-peeled cinnamon and nutmeg spicing and sweet vanilla creaming.

PHRESH PHLAVORS PALE ALE
On tap at Poor Henry’s, crisply clean golden-hazed dry body stays refreshingly juicy as tangy orange, grapefruit and lemon spicing bursts thru above mild oats spine. Hoppy sedation with a slight citric-pined IPA bent.
KEY CHESAPEAKE COMMON LAGER
On tap at 98 Cannon – Chestertown, Md., resilient amber lagered ‘common beer’ (a.k.a. California-styled Steam Beer utilizing lager yeast at warmer ale temperatures) brings fruity pale ale disposition to lightly pungent piney hopped herbage contrasting toasted caramel malting. Modest grapefruit-peeled orange rind bittering stays easygoing while rustic earthen grain minerality rides below.
PABST BLUE RIBBON HARD COFFEE
Creamily sweet dessert-like malt beverage (with loose milk stout tag lacking hops) promoted as coffee-beer hybrid with ‘a dash of milk’ and defined as a premier vanilla-infused iced coffee. Coffee ice cream entry gathers White Russian, Kahlua and whipped vanilla illusions while mildest vodka-like whim adds latent alcohol smidge.
HALF ACRE ORIN AGED IN BOURBON BARRELS
On tap at Ambulance, cavernous barrel-aged strong ale (13.9% ABV) weaves luxurious bourbon vanilla sweetness thru fudgy brown chocolate resonance, molasses oats sugaring and lovely sherry-noir wining. Tertiary toffee, caramel, coconut, raisin and cookie dough illusions add depth. A beautifully designed digestif.
LIC BEER PROJECT SIN AND SOUL
On tap at Ambulance, confectionary jet black Imperial Stout unites lusciously pink Himalayan sea-salted burnt caramel sweetness with dark chocolate exuberance. Creamily caramelized chocolate salinity gains dark-roast coffee, milked espresso, buttered toffee and dark cocoa undertones for perfect Godiva-candied dessert treat.
CAPE MAY TIES THIS ROOM TOGETHER VANILLA WHITE CREAM STOUT
On tap at Andy’s Corner Bar, sweet vanilla creaming gains light lactose influence relegating coffee-beaned cocoa nibs adjuncts and grassy hop astringency. Delicate vanilla sugaring picks up latent caramelized butterscotch twist.
GLENMERE WICKED WITCH
On tap at Seven Lakes Station, deciduous black raspberry-infused black malted Imperial Stout retains dry bittering as dark-roasted black chocolate malting picks up charcoal-stained wood sear and charred walnut scamper, causing black raspberry tartness to fade early.
NIGHT SHIFT DYNASTY IMPERIAL STOUT
On tap at Ambulance, dry dark-roast coffee tones override dark chocolate sedation, tarry molasses bittering and earthen soil must. Distant black cherry, fig and plum wisps way below bittersweet mocha influence.
WHINER NWAR BELGIAN STYLE STOUT
On tap at Tavern On Liberty – Muhlenberg, candi-sugared Belgian ale yeast brings subtle cherry-bruised banana and clove sweetness to coffee-roasted dark chocolate impact and oats-flaked molasses malting, picking up nutty hop charred bittering at dried-fruited mocha finish.
OMMEGANG GAME OF THRONES: MY WATCH HAS ENDED IMPERIAL BROWN ALE
On tap at Mahwah Bar & Grill, maple-sugared molasses crowds black chocolate, cocoa and caramel sweetness as well as humble curry-powdered fenugreek nuttiness and spiced toffee snips caress subtle oats-flaked malting.
ANGRY ERIK KAYEWLA
Busy Belgian pale ale lacks specificity. Wayward candi-sugared Belgian yeast skirts coriander-spiced orange zesting and mild banana-prune-raisin illusions above muskily grain-hopped bittering in slightly phenol manner.
