Besting most nebulous dark lagers with its upfront hop-charred coffee roast and nut-seared dark chocolate bittering, medium-full-bodied recalls a mocha stout given fizzy clean-watered effervescence.
ARMADA EDGE OF DARKNESS DARK LAGER
Category Archives: Beers A-Z
ARMADA LUMINARA PALE LAGER
Mild yellow fruited pale lager with gluey pale malt lagering and lagging earthen vegetal musk. Delicate lemony grapefruit bittering counters wavered navel orange sweetness.
ARMADA NEPTUNE’S DAGGER PALE ALE
Soft fuzzy white-headed moderation with politely citric IPA-like tropicalia. Mild lemony grapefruit-seeded pineapple bittering contrasts less prominent cantaloupe-melon sweetness, picking up dry-spiced herbage and light metallic snag as overall flavoring diminishes.
ROUND TABLE JUNTOS PILSNER
Traditional dry German-styled pilsner plies dusky lemon herbage, grassy hop dusting and mild tangerine swipe to musky barnyard-grained pilsner malting, appealing to rustic light-bodied thirsts.
CHATHAM BLITZKRIEK
Medicinal candy-glazed red cherry sweetness gains slight hard-candied orange tartness and tangy tangerine tease for rummy kriek-derived Belgian quadrupel. Quad-like dried fruit spicing knocked back by kriek-ish sweet ‘n sour cherry abundance coating richly creamed wheat malt base. Anyone for cherry rhubarb pie?
CONCENTRIC WOOKIE COOKIE IMPERIAL BARREL-AGED STOUT
Dark cocoa syrup drapes bourbon vanilla warmth as burgundy-brandy subtleties soak into Black Forest caking, pureed black cherry twang, dry oaken cherry swerve, stewed prune swoon and cookie dough fudging.
CONCENTRIC DARTH MALT IMPERIAL STOUT
Fudgy Black Forest caking consumes muted Peppermint Patty-candied minting. Along the way, black cherry, raspberry jelly and blueberry jam illusions softly emerge at rich rummy-whiskeyed chocolate cake finish.
CONCENTRIC BRIDGE TRAFFIC IMPERIAL IPA
Well-designed milkshake-styled IPA (with less appropriate ‘Imperial’ labeling) brings lactic powder-sugared marshmallow vanilla sweetness to zestful lemony orange-peeled grapefruit tang, tart guava-gooseberry swipe and peachy pineapple zing, becoming bitterer as lemon-seeded grapefruit rind sharpness rises way above its creamily oated wheat base.
CONCENTRIC OKTOBERFEST
Unspecific off-dry festbier with stinging pop rock-like sugared corn malts trailing leafy hop oiling given muted lemony orange spritz.
CONCENTRIC FINS UP! MEXICAN LAGER
Dry maize-parched mineral graining banks zestful lemon lime spritz and salty agave-like tequila twist for liable white bread-bottomed Mexican lager.
HOP CULTURE FARMS ECLIPSE BOURBON AGED IMPERIAL STOUT
On tap at Concentric Brewing, elegantly smooth bourbon vanilla warmth gains dry burgundy and sweet brandy influence for dried-fruited dark mocha molasses resonance. Fudgy dark chocolate center invites figgy black cherry and plummy red grape merriment. Mellow bourbonized stout (with unassuming 11% ABV) makes for desirable fireplace nightcap.
HUBBARD’S CAVE HAZELNUT COFFEE & CAKE
On tap at Ambulance, decadent pastry stout variant regales rich Madagascar vanilla bean persistence and hazelnut coffee-bound maple syruping given fudgy caramelized chocolate pudding top. At the midst, lovely bourbon vanilla warmth coats milk-sugared coffee persistence, gaining caffe mocha espresso dirge, mild macchiato remnant and teasing burgundy wining. An overabundance of treacly mocha-vanilla richness.
