RUNAWAY TRAIN BREWERY

Right along the historic D & M train tracks near the center of Honesdale, RUNAWAY TRAIN BREWERY opened its spickets August 11, 2023. Described quite accurately as a ‘brewhouse saloon,’ an olden rail house welcomes patrons to the converted grey warehouse.

Runaway Train’s elongated yellow wood top bar spreads across the family-friendly pub, serving slate top tables and plastic-chaired tables along the concrete floored main space. A hearth-warmed lounge area and left side tanks fill out the light Industrialized, pipe-exposed, chandelier-ceilinged interior. A wood-floored billiards room is available upstairs.

My wife and I journeyed to Runaway Train early December ’25 on a frigid Friday eve. Dominated by lager-related fodder, we tried eleven of the fifteen homemade beers available (missing out on three IPA’s and a schwarzbier).

For starters, traditional Czech pils, Ticket To Ride, a smoothly sessionable barley-roasted light body, stayed subtle with spicy floral herbage and limey soapstone residue.

Crisply dry pilsner-malted lager, Declaration, caressed its lemony orange spritz with peppery Saaz hop herbage – an easygoing flagship.

Equally sessionable helles lager, Golden Spike, slid musty lemon souring and subtle herbal spicing across biscuity barley malts.

As for off-dry Railside Lager, its sour lemon musk countered mineralized pilsner-malted barley.

Scotch-licked barley, dried maize and lemondrop herbage fronted Honesdale Hauler, a soft-toned festbier with sedate vanilla creaming.

Brisk lemon fizz tickled Coach Car Kolsch, a Noble-hopped moderation with musky floral herbage topping buttery biscuit base.

‘Simple pub ale,’ Wet Your Whistle, retained light bodied appeal as mossy spelt graining drifted thru mild floral hop bouquet.

Another pillowy moderation, Honesdale Rail Cream Ale, hustled creamed corn sugaring for nutty rye breading and grassy herbal hops.

Tobacco roast crisping embraced dewy peat for lightly caramelized Irish red ale, Irish Conductor, benefiting from kilned barley toasting.

Nitrogenated traditional English dark mild, Last Train Home, relegated caramel toffee sweetness for Bakers chocolate tartness and nut-skinned dried fruiting.

Dry Irish stout, Lucky Ticket, placed dewy truffle earthiness inside charred dark-roast hops, picking up bittersweet dried fruiting at its cocoa nibs base.

ANOMALY CRAFT BREWING

BERWICK, PENNSYLVANIA

Family owned and operated ANOMALY CRAFT BREWING came into existence in 2022 at a former boutique coffeehouse on Berwick’s main drag (not far removed from recently closed Berwick Brewing). Tucked into a narrow window-fronted shop, Anomaly has the feel of a standard bistro with its wood benches, tables and bar top accentuated by a slat wood floor.

Anomaly’s black art studio ceiling adds to the simple light industrial-bound cafe setting of the white walled barroom. Nostalgic pix and macrame art line the walls leading to the back bar. There are two central TV’s and a refrigerator. Behind the bar wall lie the steel fermenters and brew tanks.

A family friendly atmosphere consumes the one-room pub that owner Nicholas Oliver promises a ‘fusion of fire and flavor.’ Smoked meats lead a menu consisting of wood-fired pizzas, sandwiches and apps. Each beer is stylishly perfected to fit the food. Just try the excellent Streets Of Bamberg Rauch bock with any customized smoked meat.

My wife and I sat at the bar to down five durable Anomaly’s (and three nearby Conyngham Brewery draughts) before heading to Williamsport/ State College on a Friday afternoon, mid-November ’25.

Crisply clean clear-strawed German lager, Helles, splashed spritzy lemon onto light Noble hop herbage, mild floral spicing and bready pilsner malts.

Equally spritzy and soft-toned, Willow Tree White, a delicate witbier, placed curacao orange-peeled coriander spicing alongside citric lemongrass herbage, gaining a slight candy coating for the vanilla-daubed white wheat base.

Autumnal pumpkin delight, Squash Patch, countered brown-sugared cinnamon and nutmeg spicing with earthen gourd and herbal ginger.

Infused with roasted cocoa nibs and Madagascar vanilla, robust Criollo Porter let chalky dark chocolate soak into its Cafe Fresco cold brew coffee midst.

Rising above all other Anomaly selections, stylistically perfected rauchbier bock, Streets Of Bamberg, retained campfire-seared cured meat luster, musky Band-aid wafted beechwood smoke and peaty mossing of a Bavarian rauch given the sweet caramel malt creaming of a German bock.

As for the trio of Conyngham beers, summery light lager, Somewhere On A Beach, let spritzy lemon lime fizz tickle musky citric hop acidity over white bread base for a crisp Seltzer-like refresher.

Brief cinnamon-nutmeg seasoning and light ginger herbage placated medium-bodied Pumpkin Ale, leaving salty pumpkin-seeded gourd earthiness on its caramel malt bottom.

Flagship chocolate stout, Into Darkness, slapped dark roasted cocoa nibs bittering upon semi-sweet milk chocolate, dry anise and sugary vanilla.

JOHN RYAN BREWERY

WILLIAMSPORT, PENNSYLVANIA

One of four current downtown Williamsport brewpubs within walking distance, JOHN RYAN BREWERY opened inside a historic Old Victorian mansion during October 2021. Once a lumber barrens’ homestead, the stark white-windowed aquamarine pub consists of a wood-furnished main barroom (with chandelier), elegant dining rooms, cozy all-scratch kitchen and spooky low-ceilinged catacomb basement bar perfect for autumnal spirits. A shaded patio with fire pit lounge completes the score.

Concocting fine small-batch beer, brewer Will Ernst Wingfield served time developing his zymurgic skills at local Penn College before coming aboard at this renovated red brick-walled Old Town brewery-restaurant. He’s a large part of bringing a ‘historical and cultural experience to the customer,’ as John Ryan’s exquisite establishment looks to expand tastes with multi-culti food and beer.

The menu offers a fusion of authentic Japanese, French, and Italian cuisine. Today’s morning beer menu includes French, English, Czech and German styled suds.  

My wife and I grab a table downstairs in the stone-columned catacomb cavern to watch Penn State take on number two Indiana while consuming all eight available homemade suds. The ever-changing food menu is recommended and nifty cocktails looked heavenly. We enjoyed Asian Pear Salad and Baked French Toast.

Signature Fruited French Saison rubbed alcohol stiffness into rummy banana sweetness, zesty pineapple tanginess, mild Chardonnay wining and herbal lemon musk plus shero plum tartness over rustic earthen graining.

Similarly styled Franco-Belgian farmhouse ale, French Saison, coalesced lemon meringue tartness with butterscotch candy, banana bubblegum and Chardonnay wine illusions as well as slight white-peppered herbage.

Another Franco brew, French Porter, let brown chocolate sweetness infiltrate mildly hop-charred walnut, subtle chestnut-hazelnut-pecan buttering and caramel coffee creaming.

A few Brit-styled brews followed. Dewy peat moss saddled Three Lions English IPA, adding earthen rusticity to grapefruit-dried pine lacquering above dark-roast barley malts.

Day-old coffee and dark chocolate resin combined for John Ryan English Brown Ale, placing earthen residue and pumpernickel rye breading upon the lightly spiced mocha continuance.

Sourdough breading contrasted the musky wheat-husked maize acridity of dry Czech pils, Pre Prohibition Pilsner, leaving mild lemon pith bittering and herbal-spiced florality.

Repping the Germans, Gruber Doppelbock gathered spiced dark fruiting and mild bourbon-burgundy wining atop sugary Vienna malts.

Milk chocolatey caramel coffee creaming guided oats-sugared Desperation On Vacation Oatmeal Stout, caressed by toasty truffle crisping.

ROSKO’S BREW HOUSE

WILLIAMSPORT, PENNSYLVANIA

After departing John Ryan Brewery one mile south, my wife and I ventured into Rosko’s on a Saturday afternoon, November ’25, discovering six English and German styled homemade suds.

Inside a restored pale blue-bricked 19th century Victorian dwelling on the northside of downtown Williamsport, ROSKO’S BREW HOUSE opened August ’22. A family-friendly pub owned by Samantha and Adam Roskowski, its cozy red brick-backed barroom, nifty parlor space and fireplace mantle offer warm elegance.

A few metal-stooled wood tables fill out Rosko’s main area and the nano brewing setup is staged toward one side. An enclosed cement patio with umbrellas sidles the green turfed exterior. A studio loft apartment is available for rent.

Featuring a highly sessionable rotating menu of brews, Rosko’s never deviates too far from stylistic guidelines. Full-time brewer, Taylor Strein, whose homebrewed maple stout impressed friends early on, attended Brewing and Fermentation Sciences at Pennsylvania College of Technology before joining the Rosko’s fold.

Excellent flagship, Admiral Halsey ESB merged dewy peat mossing, earthen Fuggle hop herbage to toasted rye breading.

English dark mild, The Butcher’s Dog, placed toffee-spiced fig and raisin alongside toasted caramelized nuttiness.

“No frills” Terrassee Hefe splotched lemony cider souring upon banana breaded coriander spicing atop soft sourdough base.

Utilizing kolsch yeast, grainy Bavarian malts and tropical Huell Melon/ Mandarina Bavaria hops, Kiefenstrasse German IPA nodded towards a New England IPA with its salty mango-skinned kumquat, passionfruit and guava tartness picking up a zesty orange-peeled grapefruit tingle.

Lightly spiced date, plum and fig commenced moderate-bodied Munich-styled Dunkel, sweetened further by caramelized Vienna malting.

Similarly styled and more robust, Roskator Doppel loaded roasted chocolate inside sugary date-plum-fig spicing, mild burgundy swagger and tobacco-roasted cereal graining.

AXEMANN TAVERN

SELINSGROVE, PENNSYLVANIA

Retreating from Williamsport going east to Jersey, stopped by Selinsgrove to visit AXEMANN TAVERN, opened February 1, 2024, An extension of Bellefonte’s Axemann Brewery (a 27,000 square-foot former Cerro Metal factory run by Penn State grads since 2020), this red-bricked green-windowed tavern features a lacquered wood L-shaped bar with wood paneled wall, twelve draught handles, large TV and refrigerator. Tiffany lights hang from the black art ceiling at the high top-seated main dining room.

Across the street from long-time fixture, Selinsgrove Brewing, Axemann Tavern has the relaxed feel of a cozy British pub. There are wines, spirits plus food from Smokehouse Fixx and Sunday Brunch to go along with well-balanced standard brew fare.

My wife and I grab seats at the end of the bar November ’25 to down five Axemann originals (and take home a few reviewed in Beer Index).

Smoothly clean flagship offering, Blue Stripe Kolsch, dropped tangy lemon spicing and herbal hops atop French breaded corn-chipped Tortilla crisping.

Tartly understated Black Razz Wheat sidled salty raspberry-blackberry rasp with spritzy lemony fizz over dry pale wheat malting.

An IPA-related pale ale, Mean Duck, let piney floral-hopped perfuming enhance lightly embittered lemony orange and grapefruit sunshine.

Piney grapefruit bittering ushered in New England IPA, Hazy Daisy, picking up salted mango zesting above creamy vanilla oats.

Dry Irish Stout, Titan, advanced bittersweet dark chocolate and frothy espresso coffee to dark roast hop charred nuttiness in smooth, clean-watered stylistic fashion.

JACKASS BREWING

WILLIAMSPORT, PENNSYLVANIA

Residing at a red brick Industrial building one block South of Bullfrog Brewing and Gennetti Hotel, JACKASS BREWING opened this second location in 2025. Olden wood floors ground the white-walled converted warehouse and the U-shape bar (with twelve taps, caged Edison lights and cornered TV’s) services several windowed four-seaters and the large furnished mezzanine.

The 22,000 square-foot tap room includes a restaurant, event space and rooftop bar. A varied beer menu displayed a colorful spectrum of stylistic delights. Brew tanks are towards the rear and patio seating is available when warm.

My wife and I visited after our Pittsburgh roundup at 7PM, mid-October ’25.

Tart lemon-salted oaken cherry pucker, green grape esters and parched lime souring induced Ch-Ch-Ch-Cherry Bomb, an extremely dry fruited sour.

Rustic mineral graining guarded the orange banana breaded spicing of Saison Of The Asses, leaving white peppery shards.

Unspecific Belgian yeast engaged autumnal Belgian strong ale, Jackass O’Lantern, pitting rummy cinnamon-nutmeg spicing and orange-bruised banana sugaring against white-peppered herbage.

One of Jackass’ most popular year-rounders came next. Tangy grapefruit, salty pineapple, zesty orange peel and peachy tangerine blitzed the lightly oated wheat creaming of Juicy Ass, a fruit punched New England IPA with latent pine tones.

Lightly wood-smoked coffee roast saddled mocha-driven porter, Dumbass, scattering dark chocolate, caramel and espresso tones among the dark roast hop bitterness.

Mocha-fortified milk Stout, Mules, placed creamy milk chocolate across caramelized coffee, molasses breading and tart dark cherry frolic.

“Intense” bourbon-aged Imperial Stout, Imbecile, let pudding skinned dark chocolate fudging drape dry burgundy, sherry, chianti and Muscat wining as well as a stiff whiskey back (at 12.2% ABV).

A few weeks later in mid-November ’25, grabbed a few more tapped Jackasses while watching college football on a Saturday night at the bar.

Briskly tropical New England IPA flagship Foggy Doo, first tried at original Lewisburg locale three years hence, stuck piney orange rind bittering, zesty juniper minting, limey grapefruit scamper and green mango salting atop lightly creamed oats.

Meanwhile, West Coast IPA, Woody, scurried dank pine resin across sour orange rot, salty mango-guava zesting and spiced floral daubs atop honeyed pale malts.

Dewy moss seeped into navel orange sweetness for moderate-bodied pale lager, What The Helles, a musty Noble-hopped bohemian.

Ultra-dry sour ale, Calamansi, let mouth puckering Philippine lime salting and lemony mandarin orange wisp settle above acidulated wheat base.

HELLTOWN BREWING

PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA

At Pittsburgh’s Strip District, HELLTOWN BREWING opened its fourth of five (as of October ’25) locations in 2020. Beginning in a Colorado mechanics garage in 2011, Helltown’s founders settled in the Iron City’s Mount Pleasant section, creating their initial brewhouse (before buying nearby Rivertowne’s Export production facility and gaining a second spot). The other two Southwest Pennsylvania Helltown outposts are in Houston and Butler.

Occupying a two-story white aluminum barnhouse-styled depot, Helltown’s 1700 Penn Avenue locale in the Strip features wood barrels, wood benches and chairs leading to the lacquered wood top bar. There are 24 draught handles serving both Helltown and Rivertowne fare. Wine, cider and cocktails are also available.

A large fenced-in benched side deck offers plenty of seating.

During my mid-afternoon Saturday stop, October ’25, bought cans of Helltown’s Bluff 78 American Lager, Grand Prix English Pale Ale, Hefeweizen, Star Breaker Hazy IPA and Mischievous Brown Ale (all reviewed in Beer Index).

BACK ALLEY BREWING COMPANY

PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA

Occupying a prominent marble-columned Municipal building along the cobblestoned roads of Pittsburgh’s southern Dormont section, BACK ALLEY BREWING COMPANY opened its doors in 2022. A yellow Back Alley signpost leads patrons to the Classical large arched entrance.

An elongated cement-topped bar serviced the white walled main space as well as the dainty restaurant garden room. Arched windows and the high ceiling bring a simple elegance to the cafe tables and leather booths surrounding the bar.

I visited Back Alley on a Sunday at noontime, October ’25, when the Steelers had a home game and many fans hit the streets. I tried the two tapped IPA’s and took home a half dozen more (reviewed in Beer Index).

Flagship Back Alley IPA retained orange rind bittering, yellow grapefruit tang and salty pineapple zing as well as herbal tea whims and grassy hop astringency atop honey-spiced pale malts.

Dry rye graining surged next to grapefruit rind bittering for Raccoon Ninja Warrior Rye IPA, snuggling dark roast-hopped brown leaf musk across dusty cocoa powder.

BURGHER BREWING

Right after Friday brunch in October ’25, headed to Pittsburgh’s Lawrenceville section to take on three brewpubs within a quarter-mile walking distance. Long Story Short on Butler Street offered franchised Cinderlands brews and Eleventh Hour Brewing on Charlotte Street crafted its own beer onsite. As for BURGHERS BREWING, besides its street-cornered Butler Street taproom, the fine ‘burgers n’ brews joint’ has locations (as of this date) in Millvale, Southside and Zelienope.

Gathering ingredients from nearby farmers, Burghers shoots for total sustainability with approachable fare well suited for the average American beer drinker. On my stopover, there were four easygoing German-styled brews on tap alongside an IPA, Czech lager, Italian pils and malt liquor.

Inside, the concrete-floored pub features a twelve-seat, tile-fronted, wood bar with ten draughts (and two TV’s sidling the beer menu). There are several windowed yellow metal-seated wood tables and a corrugated standing post plus a back kitchen cookin’ burgers.

Crisp light-bodied Italian pilsner, Coltivare, put floral perfumed hop oils alongside moldy lemon rot above delicate truffle-like pilsner malting.

Sweet barley-corn crisping met polite Noble hop herbage for Czech amber lager, Wyrmslayer’s Reserve, a simple bronze-cleared moderation.

Chestnut and tobacco roasted German dark lager, Dunkel, let lightly creamed cocoa onboard.

Dewy festbier, Aufstoin, plied lemony orange tartness to gluey spelt and doughy wheat.

Stylishly dryer than most hefeweizens, Yellow Funicular scurried lemony banana-clove sweetness and wispy navel orange, mango and plantain illusions thru cilantro herbage topping whittled white wheat base.

Dry kolsch, Nubbel, let grassy hop herbage seep into mild lemon zesting over tidy mineral graining.

Zestful hazy IPA, Hipstertone, placed lemony orange-peeled grapefruit tanginess next to dank pine resin atop delicate oated wheat creaming.

Bettering most premium malt liquor, smooth Gold Chains guided sugary lemon at honeyed corn malts without getting gunky (and hiding its hefty 7.4% ABV).

LONG STORY SHORT

In the heart of Lawrenceville just down the street from one of Burgher’s Pitt-based franchised brewpubs, LONG STORY SHORT serves Cinderlands draughts crafted a few miles south at the microbrewers’ large warehouse facility in The Strip. Operating since 2016, Cinderlands ‘foederhouse’ originally occupied the Long Story Short space but was then renovated to be a ‘humble neighborhood bar’ and sandwich shop November 2020.

Inside a uniquely Classical sienna columned municipal post, Long Story Short features a spiffy white tile-floored barroom with exquisite white marble top bar, twelve white-walled tap handles, two TV’s and a sidled dining room plus an open kitchen counter serving four front patioed metal chairs. Mezzanine seating is available and pinball, darts and billiards are welcome games.

My wife and I tried all seven respectable draughts during our October ’25 stopover. The payload included the following Cinderlands suds.

Dryer ‘n hoppier than most stylish competitors, Archive: American Wheat, brought lemony orange tartness to its mineral-grained flaked wheat base.

Brewed with local Saaz hops, bohemian Czech lager, Saazy Saazbourne, swept dewy fungi and mild floral spicing thru musty pilsner malts.

Floor-malted Bohemian pilsner malts gave Czech Them Buns (a musky Czech lager) its buttery toasted breading and brioche bun warmth.

Following those two Eastern Euro lagers were three Germans.

Easygoing helles lager, Low Voltage, pinned corny pilsner malts to herbal tea-like Noble hops with a light lemon twist.

Also brewed with pilsner malts, Dusseldorf dark ale, Allegheny Altbier, let caramelized wheat soak its toasted biscuit base.

Smoke-dried beechwood gave smoked schwarzbier, Feurig, its cured meat seduction backed by subtle cocoa-coffee riffs and blackened barley malts.

Snuck in a hazy pale ale before departing. Sunshiny lemon zest and orange-peeled grapefruit tanginess settled across resinous pine bittering for Squish, the moderate version of Full Squish IPA.

INNER GROOVE BREWING

PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA

Along Pittsburgh’s hilly Allentown neighborhood south of Monongahela River, INNER GROOVE BREWING opened this second location in May ’22. A “spacious modern taproom” fifteen miles from the original vinyl record-inspired Verona brewhouse (birthed 2019), Inner Groove’s glass-fronted pub delivers homemade draughts emulating from its primary location.

A white-walled art deco-styled depot tucked into Allentown’s bustling downtown, Inner Groove slings varied suds from a black brick-walled draught board at its epoxy plywood-topped, U-shaped bar. Pristine wood decor dots the spare barroom and a nifty beergarden adds further seating.

My wife and I step up to the bar to try all twelve available brews this Saturday afternoon, October ’25.

First up, dry Mexican lager, Rocket 88, brought compost-wafted lemon rot to the fore as mild green peppered herbage and phenol hop bittering reach its maize-flaked base.

Next, leafy-hopped marzen, Conan The Bavarian Oktoberfest, picked up mild orange oiling and earthen residue atop sweet bready pilsner malting.

Powder sugared candied Pez tartness and marshmallow-creamed strawberry merged for limey kettle-soured Margarita spinoff, Straw Hat, picking up waxy lemon licks.

Rye-spiced Taloo Rye, a toasty Bavarian roggenbier, topped its pumpernickel base with sour prune and dried fig snips.

A West Coast IPA with a dry English malt backdrop, Fall Back Crutch sidled sharp piney fruiting next to pale malt spicing.

Pina Colada fruited sour, Nobody’s Poet, boasted salty pineapple tanginess, coconut creme richness and light rum sugaring.

An oatmeal raisin cookie knockoff, Tuff Cookie Brown Ale, stuffed ripe raisin (as well as red grape tannins) inside confectionery brown chocolate sweetness.

Then came two contrasting pumpkin ales. Soft-toned pumpkin pie spicing tingled Hallowed Ground Pumpkin Ale, leaving sweet yam, perfumed ginger and cinnamon toast subtleties.

On the dark side, lovely Pumpkin-Cino Coffee Ale let cappuccino coffee sink into its cinnamon-nutmeg-spiced pumpkin pie sweetness, gaining dark chocolate, espresso and cocoa powder remnants.

Before heading out, dry coffee-stained Darkside Light Stout retained a mild mocha profile perfect for lighter thirsts.

HITCHHIKER BREWING COMPANY

A mile away from friendly competitors, Chimera, HITCHHIKER BREWING COMPANY created a taproom in Pittsburgh’s Mount Lebanon area (neighboring Castle Shannon) after initiating its nearby tan brick-factoried Sharpsburg brewery during 2014 (formerly housing Fort Pitt Brewery). Willing to go all over the place creating exciting, varied beers, Hitchhiker has crafted over 100 different recipes in a decade-plus.

At a gray brick cornershop with small deck, Hitchhiker’s wooden insignia welcomes patrons to its casual neighborhood pub serving an amazing amount of diversified liquids. Old metal-backed chairs crowd the wood top bar (with a dozen-plus tap handles) and a TV hangs from the back black wall.

My wife and I visited October ’25 at noon on a warm n’ sunny Saturday during our four-day Pitt brewpub sojourn, discovering several fruited sours, one blondie, a gourd spicer and Oreo stout.

Beige yellow-glowed Conversion Blonde Ale let polite lemony grapefruit bittering and subtle mandarin orange tang swing thru grassy-hopped pining.

Autumnal goodie, Throwback Pumpkin Ale, tossed bittersweet vanilla beans at perfumed pumpkin pie spicing (cinnamon-nutmeg-coriander-ginger) over molasses toast.

Dry waxy fruiting and candied citrus spicing led medium-bodied Bane Of Existence IPA, leaving lemon-limed grapefruit and orange bittering as well as tart mango-guava-passionfruit tropicalia and herbal notions on its cereal grained bottom.

Fruit punched milkshake IPA variant, Whole Punch: Jelly Donut, conditioned on donuts, raspberry, and vanilla beans, picked up mild strawberry, boysenberry and blackberry illusions atop creamy oats.

Kettle-soured IPA, Usual Chaos, conditioned on tart blackberry, raspberry and vanilla beans, supplied milk-sugared oated wheat creaming to its Citra-Amarillo-hopped piney fruiting.

Conditioned on peanut butter and raspberry, fruited kettle sour, MMHMMM Raspberry brought creamy milk sugaring to salty strawberry-jammed rhubarb tartness to its honeyed Graham Cracker base.

Conditioned on strawberry and marshmallow, chewy pastry sour, Yoberry, spread cocoa nibs splendor across oated wheat creaming.

Peach Mimosa-like Smoothie sour, Peach Bottle Service, spewed lightly acidic orange concentrate on peachy milk-sugared vanilla creaming and wheat-flaked pastry dough.

A confectionery nightcap conditioned on Oreo cookies, Oreo Speedwagon Imperial Milkshake Stout loaded milk-sugared dark chocolate syrup onto minty vanilla, creamed coffee and honeyed oats.
