Sweet bourbon overtones glaze maple molasses-sapped brown chocolate spicing and caramelized dried fruiting. Gooey anise viscosity drapes bourbon vanilla midst plus red and black cherry illusions as well as raisin, prune and fig snips.
OMMEGANG GAME OF THRONES: MOTHER OF DRAGONS SMOKED PORTER & KRIEK
On tap at Growler & Gill, subtly smoked chocolate-covered cherry tartness gains dry lemon pucker to increase sour profile of half-interesting Kriek lambic/ smoked porter blend. Rhubarb-caked dark cherry sourness increases above mild peat-smoked earthiness and bitter Blackstrap molasses sinew, leaving distant raspberry piquancy in its wake.
BRIX CITY POCO FUERTE
On tap at Poor Henry’s, lusciously caramelized barleywine/quadrupel blend aged for a year in bourbon barrels proves immediately profound. Lovely bourbon vanilla sweetness gains chocolate-spiced frisk at dried fruited midst. Chocolate-covered cherry, pureed raisin and sugared fig illusions synch with rummy quad intensity to elevate barleywinish toffee-candied caramel finish. Resilient!
INNIS & GUNN BOURBON BARREL SCOTCH ALE
Subtle bourbon licks and sedate whiskey snips daub mildly creamed vanilla sweetness for brewer’s “original” soft-toned barrel-aged remedy. Scotch-malted buttered rum, toasted almond, pecan, toffee and caramel latte illusions waver beneath. Fragile bourbon-aged Scotch finish is tenuous. 
SPELLBOUND OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIE BROWN ALE
On tap at Hoover’s, well-balanced oatmeal raisin cookie-defined full body lays on the nutty hop-charred resolve to deepen its cocoa-powdered black malt bittering against cookie dough-sugared oatmeal raisin persuasion. Vanilla-beaned Blackstrap molasses sinew adds to bitter edge, sacrificing some of the oatmeal raisin splendor.
BURLINGTON BEER PEASANT BREAD DRY-HOPPED BROWN ALE WITH WILD RICE
Soily brown rice adjunct gains caraway-seeded pumpernickel purge, dry cocoa beaning and latent nutty astringency. Mossy dry-hopped dewiness gains casual bittering to counter its glutenous wild-riced umami savor.
ZERO GRAVITY MADONNA IMPERIAL IPA
On tap at Poor Henry’s, juicy Citra-hopped grapefruit, orange and pineapple tanginess gains zesty lemon tingle to enhance Motueka-hopped gooseberry, guava and green grape tartness above gentle wheat-grained pilsner malts. Sunny citrus finish masks grassy herbal astringency.
ICARUS TOUCHING THE SUN TRIPLE IPA
On tap at Taphouse 15, lactose-aided India Pale Ale utilizes tropical fruited Citra hops, white-wined Nelson Sauvin hops, lupulin powdered Mosaic hops, herbal Columbus hops and woody Simcoe hops to develop zesty lemon-dropped orange peel tang and bitter grapefruit rind subtlety. Tertiary green grape, gooseberry, papaya and passionfruit illusions flutter below.
KANE OUTER REEF TRIPLE IPA
On tap at Taphouse 15, easygoing Citra-hopped moderation brings lemon zesting and grapefruit bittering to light barley-floured pilsner oats malting and laid-back resinous hop bittering. Sour gooseberry, sweet marmalade and tart mandarin orange illusions add further frugal fruitiness to balanced blend.
LOST NATION TOSSING SEEDS (MOSAIC) DOUBLE INDIA PALE ALE
On tap at Ambulance, mellowly meandering Mosaic-hopped version of Tossing Seeds stays soft on the tongue as zesty lemon, tangy yellow grapefruit and subtle orange misting gather above dry wood-toned hops. Mild pale malt spicing sweetens spry citrus licks.
INDUSTRIAL ARTS TORQUE WRENCH DOUBLE IPA
On tap at Taphouse 15, glistening golden-hazed Imperial India Pale Ale regales vibrant tropical fruiting, dainty floral bouquet and crystal malt sugaring in brilliantly ultra-clean fashion. Zesty grapefruit, orange, pineapple, peach and mango tang picks up sugar spiced spruce tingle to contrast lightly pungent piney hop resin. Awesome juicy fruited concoction.
BOLERO SNORT ANOTHER STEER OLDER
On tap at Growler & Gill, “heavily oated” hazy amber-marbled New England IPA brings floral-daubed grapefruit juicing to lactic milk souring and vanilla-sugared flaked oats with straight-up medium body stability.
