Dry medium-dark roast coffee bean entry gains dark chocolate complement, lingering above earthen hop-charred nuttiness with casual aplomb. Bittersweet coffee roast picks up mild cocoa-powdered vanilla spree, but its aggressive java foundation drops off by the thinnish finish.

EVIL TWIN 90 DAYS DRY AGED STOUT
On tap at Ambulance, fudgy dark chocolate syruping graces creamily lactic dry-age malted milk stout. Milk-sugared coffee, vanilla, cocoa and molasses tones increase sweet chocolate serenade against modest nut-charred hop bittering.
RUSSIAN RIVER SHADOW OF A DOUBT IMPERIAL PORTER
Creamy milk-sugared coffee richness gains chalky cocoa, dark chocolate and Madagascar vanilla splurge as well as ashen nuttiness and mild anise spicing. Smoked mocha molasses pleasantries penetrate the surface thereafter.
BOLERO SNORT HOW NOW BROWN ALE
Fudgy milk-sugared cocoa nibs lead the way for chocolate-milked goodie that drinks like a dessert-bound stout instead of a nebulous brown ale. But its nut-charred nuttiness and misplaced dried fruiting may burden, instead of complement, its sweet mocha surface.
BIRRIFICIO ITALIANO WILDEKIND RED WINE BARREL AGED SOUR ALE
On tap at Ambulance, red wine-barreled farmhouse ale utilizes dry Pinot Nero black grape tartness to enhance sweet cider licks, sour lemon pucker and herbal barnyard leathering. Mildly vinous acidity dots the burgundy-spiced finish.
SINGLECUT SAMMY WAS LOW IMPERIAL INDIA PALE ALE
Sunny grapefruit juicing and lactic barley-floured gluten guide richly textured setting of hazily glowing gold-marbled DDH NEIPA. Sedate grapefruit-peeled mandarin orange tang and zesty lemon twist receive mildly tart gooseberry-guava souring and spiced mango-pineapple-peach tingle for approachable moderation.
SINGLECUT A MODERN WARRIOR NEW ENGLAND IPA WITH LACTOSE
On tap at Ambulance, “smooth” lactose-aided New England IPA maintains barley-floured tropicalia over earthen hop dankness and dry pale malting. Sour gooseberry, green grape and guava tartness usurps candied tangerine, grapefruit, mango, papaya and cantaloupe illusions.
MAINE POST RIDE SNACK SESSION INDIA PALE ALE
On tap at Ambulance, sessionable IPA brings floral-perfumed citrus spicing to the fore while pungent pine-dried grassy hop astringency battles back mild oats-flaked Maris Otter malting just above the surface. Zesty orange, tangerine and grapefruit tang gains wispy guava, mango, passionfruit and pineapple tropicalia.
TRINITY HYPE FORAGER EAST COAST TURBID IPA
Smoothly easygoing moderation utilizes mandarin orange juicing to ‘hype’ its tangy tropical fruiting against lightly lingered resinous hop astringency. Lemon-candied pineapple, grapefruit, tangerine, mango and guava illusions stabilize mandarin orange tartness above lactic yogurt-soured barley flouring of turbidly rust-hazed East Coast-styled IPA from Colorado.
ECLIPTIC ORBITER IPA
Approachably clean-watered fruit salad with pasty lacquered grouting serenades the tongue with floral-perfumed grapefruit, orange, peach, mango and tangerine juiciness. Tangy tropical fruiting stays brisk alongside resinous pine tones over sweet caramel malting.
NOD HILL STORMFIELD IPA
On tap at Ambulance, bittersweet Azacca-hopped orange peel juicing and sharp grapefruit bite complemented by resinous Amarillo-Simcoe hop pining above light white wheat malt base. Lactic yogurt souring sneaks in at the faded citrus finish.
CARTON BALINATOR HOP-LESS DOPPELBOCK
Interesting (if not totally convincing) bock hybrid layers medium-roast Blue Moon coffee beans above coarsely dried-fruited peat malts, leaving sweet vanilla and dark chocolate tones in the lurch. Using green Bali coffee beans instead of dry hops, its subtle berry-cherry notions fade too quick while black licorice, cola nut and hazelnut illusions merely waver in an unbalanced mix that’ll satisfy coffee lovers only at the beginning.
