On tap at Beef Trust, outstanding Morning Bell Coffee Porter hybrid brings cinnamon-spiced maple syruping to the fore alongside milk-sugared coffee overtones. Syrupy maple molasses sinew sweetens fudgy chocolate-caked cocoa nibs, bourbon vanilla serenity, cookie dough flouring, toasted coconut shavings and caramelized hazelnut glaze. Highly recommended Christmastime dessert treat.
ANGRY ERIK 3-BALL PORTER
On tap at Beef Trust, sweet orange-zested cardamom spicing adds piquant Christmastime dimension to treacly black chocolate and roasted coffee overtones. Caramelized cola nuttiness counters minor phenolic astringency deep below creamy cardamom-seasoned mocha fudging.
MOTHER EARTH IMPERIAL CHOCOLATE PORTER AGED IN WHISKEY BARRELS
Richly creamed cocoa-nibbed brown chocolate spicing embellished by sweet molasses-burnt bourbon vanilla persistence and light whiskey snips to its sugared oats spine. Maple-sapped caramel chocolate center countered by cedar-charred hop roast. Ancillary cookie dough, toffee, cappuccino and hazelnut illusions surface at the serene bourbon-whiskeyed chocolate finish.

SOUTHERN TIER BATTLE IN FOUR DIMENSIONS DOUBLE IPA WITH BEET JUICE
On tap at Beef Trust, pinkish amber-hued beet juicing lightly sweetens lemony grapefruit tartness and tangy peach sneak of approachable New England-styled IPA. Beet-sugared tropical fruit punch given mildly pungent wood tone at the buoyant finish.
NOD HILL SUPER MANTIS DOUBLE INDIA PALE ALE
On tap at Growler & Gill, dryish floral-daubed tropicalia placed against wet wood astringency, onion grassed hops and well-disguised 8.7% ABV. Yellow grapefruit tang, orange rind bittering and pineapple-mango sweetness stay in balance above mild oats-flaked pale malt setting. Soft, understated pleasantry remains polished but inconsequential.
MAGNIFY IMAGINE THE SUMMIT IMPERIAL INDIA PALE ALE
On tap at Ambulance, pleasingly moderate double dry-hopped IPA offers tangy tropical fruiting to piney hop resin and herbal notions. Juicy grapefruit-peeled orange rind bittering enjoins sweet pineapple-peach-mango conflux above mild oats base.

FINBACK CATS AND DOGS DOUBLE INDIA PALE ALE
On tap at Growler & Gill, subtle raspberry and guava infusion adds sour-candied tartness to mild Mosaic-hopped citrus spicing of hazily chartreuse-yellowed medium body. Sweetly soured melon rind, peach and champagne illusions help raspberry-guava adjuncts outdo IPA-like citric-pined banter at the finish.
MIKKELLER WINDY HILL NEW ENGLAND-STYLED INDIA PALE ALE
On tap at Beef Trust, sessionable dry-hopped New England-hazed IPA leads with zesty Mosaic-hopped grapefruit peel bittering rising above sticky Simcoe-hopped pine resin while contrasting mild oats sugaring. Floral-bound lemony orange briskness complemented by tropical mango-cantaloupe-tangerine-pineapple tang.

OTHER HALF GO WITH THE FLOW
On tap at Ambulance, crisply clean tropical fruiting gains light pine needling and musky floral herbage to contrast mildly vanilla-creamed caramel malt spicing. For a sour twist, limey gooseberry tartness gains a foothold alongside juicy grapefruit, tangerine, mango and peach tang. Just a tad outside the double dry-hopped IPA box.

KANE DONUT SHACK IPA
On tap at Plank Pizza, hazy gold-marbled IPA hybrid resembles a caramel-glazed vanilla donut up-front, letting its stylishly bittersweet orange-peeled grapefruit briskness settle alongside the sweet cake-like turbinado sugaring. Delicately tart Huell Melon-hopped sourness stays subtle while herbal cologne-perfumed notions seem enigmatic.
