On tap at Ambulance, rich brown chocolate syruping enhances fudged brownie entry. Chewy cookie dough malting gains toffee, vanilla and cocoa sweetness as well as wispy burgundy, bourbon and cinnamon(?) snips. Fine fudgy dessert fodder.
BOLERO SNORT MOODOO DOLL KING CAKE IMPERIAL STOUT
Chewy cinnamon-sticked brown chocolate malting gains gooey cumin-gingered anise spicing and coconut-toasted marshmallow sweetness above brown-sugared molasses oats for inspiringly rounded dessert stout. Burgundy chocolate cake, Black Forest cake and vanilla bean cake illusions abound!
SOULCRAFT COCONUT MILK STOUT
“Brewed with lactose and real coconut,” brown chocolate-milked sweet stout is just a tad thin at the toffee-tinged cocoa finish. Sedate coconut adjunct gains gingerbread-spiced Graham Cracker sweetness to saturate delicate chocolate layer.
LORD HOBO GODMOTHER IMPERIAL STOUT
Creamily fudged coffee-burnt black chocolate malting and bitter Blackstrap molasses syruping disrupted by weedy earthen compost soiling. Tarry tobacco-charred hop musk adds to the bitterness while distant brown-sugared dark cherry, fig and date notions nosedive in silken treacly setting.
THIMBLE ISLAND DOUBLE COFFEE STOUT
Indecisive dark ale could be richer and less enigmatic if advertised cinnamon spicing was clearly defined alongside its fudgy coffee brownie richness. Instead, its gunky dark-roast coffee entry receives a mild black-peppered cedar burn to offset the latent milk-sugared toffee sweetness.
MIKKELLER BEER GEEK PARLOR
On tap at Ambulance, sweet oats-sugared milk chocolate creaming gains immediate coffee roast as fudgy cocoa, vanilla and cookie dough undertones deepen its mocha intensity.
OTTER CREEK DRIP DROP COFFEE STOUT
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.
