HALF ACRE BIG HUGS IMPERIAL STOUT
On tap at Plank Pizza, deeply penetrating Dark Matter black coffee bittering gains dark chocolate, cocoa and vanilla bean influence. Espresso coffee midst allows minor cola, hazelnut, walnut and Brazil nut snips to scour its beckoning woody hop char. In the can, dark-roast coffee beaning gains wood-burnt hazelnut-walnut sear, tarry molasses bittering and rum-spiced whipped cream vanilla snip.
CAPTAIN LAWRENCE JUAN MOORE STOUT
On tap at Plank Pizza, peppery black coffee stead fortified by bittersweet dark chocolate tangent above mild hop char. Light cinnamon spicing sweetens the backend a tad.
ICARUS KING ARTHUR’S STEED PORTER
On tap at Beef Trust, sweet toasted coconut adjunct gains syrupy chocolate affluence that outlasts ancillary almond-hazelnut-cola illusions and mild lactic souring of fine dessert fodder.
MIKKELLER AWFUL GATO IMPERIAL BROWN ALE
On tap at Beef Trust, sweet vanilla creaming seeps into nutty coffee roast for decadent dessert treat. Spicy caramel and dark chocolate illusions deepen vanilla-creamed coffee intensity. Recommended.
LOUGH GILL IRISH SLOE BARLEYWINE
Botanical sloe gin-fizzed cocktail spirit too low in the mix to perk up stylishly underwhelming barleywine. From the limited edition “Irish Punch Up Series,” caramelized citrus fruiting glides above biscuity cereal grained base, leaving subliminal orange, tangerine, peach and pineapple illusions to undermine any initial juniper berry bittering. Interesting, but inessential.
ASLIN JOHANN AND THE GIANT PEACH DOUBLE IPA
On tap at Ambulance, sweet peachy vanilla milkshake entry of super-hazed bronze-clouded medium body overshadowed by sharp lemon-seeded grapefruit rind and orange peel bittering (as well as resinous pine tones) by its zesty mango-blitzed citric-juiced finish.
BOLERO SNORT MOOPHORIC TRIP DOUBLE IPA
On tap at Beef Trust, sharp IPA fruiting nearly undermines piquant Madagascar vanilla beaning and kiwi-like dragonfruit subtlety of bold pinkish amber hybrid. Lemony orange-peeled grapefruit, pineapple and peach tang gains crisply bitter edge (and latent herbal smidge) to contrast lightly creamed vanilla sugaring that fades at the juicy citrus finish. In the can, milk-sugared vanilla creaming absorbs yogurt-soured dragonfruit-passionfruit adjuncts uniting snappy grapefruit-orange rind bittering and tart juniper-nipped red currant zip. Halfway thru, marshmallow sweetness digs in, picking up strawberry rhubarb, peach, mango, guava and kiwi snips.
BOLERO SNORT SNOWBULL FIGHTS IMPERIAL IPA
On tap at Plank Pizza, lightly fluffed hazy golden amber “ice cream milkshake” gains lightly embittered grapefruit rind and orange pith juicing. Creamy vanilla sugaring holds ground against piney juniper snatch. Like a Creamsickle, its vanilla-glazed orange sweetness really stands out while tertiary peach, pineapple, tangerine and mango fruiting dabs oats-sugared malting. In the can, Orange Creamsickle succulence, milk-sugared vanilla sweetness and marshmallow goodness contrast yogurt-soured lemon meringue tartness.
INTERBORO TASTES LIKE CELEBRATION WEST COAST 2X IPA
On tap at Ambulance, pleasingly unfixed winter warming Sierra Nevada Celebration knockoff brings forth dried apricot-fig-orange spicing, candied tangerine tartness and pekoe tea-induced mineral graining to compete favorably with usual IPA suspects such as lemon-perfumed grapefruit zesting and resinous pine hop bittering. Not quite Celebration but something else pretty good.
TROEGS GOLDEN THING DRY-HOPPED DOUBLE IPA
Friendly piney citrus resonation sweetened by pale malt sugaring and tart lemondrop tingle for commonplace moderation. Grapefruit-peeled orange rind bittering contrasts spicy peach, pineapple and mango tropicalia. Serve to deserving proletariats. 
RELIC SHADOW PROPHET DOUBLE INDIA PALE ALE WITH LACTOSE
On tap at Ambulance, double dry-hopped India Pale Ale utilizes yogurt-like lactose to lightly sour its lemony grapefruit, navel orange and tangerine tang as well as its tannic green grape snips. Latent herbal spicing and distant plastique grouting add quirky reminders.
