CARTON HARVEST 2016 EKUANOT

TWO ROADS / EVIL TWIN PACHAMAMA PORTER
On tap at Doherty’s, interesting novelty combines light aji panca chili peppering with sweet potato and purple maize adjuncts, but curiosities get stifled by ashen black chocolate-malted cocoa powdering and sour coffee murk.

TERRAPIN ALL AMERICAN OAT PALE ALE
