MIDNIGHT SUN T.R.E.A.T. IMPERIAL CHOCOLATE PUMPKIN PORTER

On tap at Lazy Boy Saloon, intriguingly decadent pumpkin-spiced mocha dessert serenades dark-roasted black coffee bittering and fudgy black chocolate creaminess with ample pumpkin spicing. Rich molasses-sapped cacao nibs influence never ransacks persistent pumpkin pie-sugared cinnamon, nutmeg and gingerbread seasoning. Ancillary caramel cappuccino, cola nut, pecan, vanilla and anise illusions add further dimension. On tap at Ambulance Brew House, autumn 2014 version loaded dark-roasted mocha malts way above the cinnamon-toasted pumpkin pie sugaring and ashen hop-charred bittering. Fudged brownie, cocoa nibs, anise and gingerbread undertones add depth (and strangely, minor plastique enameling emerges).

MIDNIGHT SUN TRICKSTER BELGIAN STYLE ALE W/ PUMPKIN & SPICES

On tap at Lazy Boy Saloon, outrageously hybridized pumpkin-spiced medium body in the guise of a boozy Belgian pale ale melts like butter in your mouth. Black-peppered Belgian yeast spicing inundates honeyed banana daiquiri rum spicing above earthen gourd dewiness and pale-malted barley crisping. Ethereal pastry-caked pumpkin pie niche, gentle allspice-ginger-nutmeg-cardamom-coriander seasoning and sweet vanilla creaming register below resilient alcohol whir.

 

BROOKLYN CUVEE LE BOITE

Elegantly contoured moderate-bodied Belgian cuvee delivers marvelous French-wined grape esters to creamy vanilla-sweetened banana daiquiri whir and wildflower-honeyed rum spicing. Buttery Chardonnay warmth lingers beside crystalline lemon-curried saffron and kaffir lime riffs. French Pyronees espelette peppers softly embitter herbal hop slot.

STONE 17th ANNIVERSARY GOTTERDAMMERUNG IPA

Intringuing, if not wholly original, Imperial India Pale Ale celebrates brewers’ 17th anniversary by utilizing classical pilsner malts and copious German hops to create a smoother, cleaner stylistic flavor profile. Dry-hopped wood lacquering glazes orange-peeled grapefruit, peach and pineapple moderation as well as zesty mango, passion fruit, guava and papaya tropicalia above honeyed rye malts. Ascending alcohol kick scours the frantic fruitful luster and mild perfumed florality.

CRICKET HILL LITTLE BIG IPA

On tap at Shepherd & Knucklehead, sessionable hop-head moderation offers bitterer hop profile (and twice the IBU’s) than brewers’ Hopnotic. Nevertheless, this 2013 small batch India Pale Ale maintains a welcoming approachability perfect for skeptical fencesitters. Resinous dry-hopped spicing converges with serene orange-peeled grapefruit rind bittering above easygoing grain malting. Wafts of grass trimmings stay upon the nose.

NEW BELGIUM TRIPPEL

Soothingly fruited Belgian yeast influence splatters white-peppered candi-sugaring across up-front coriander sweetening and wispy orange-peeled lemon zest. Vanilla-creamed banana-clove pleasantries nestled beside waning peach, tangerine and cherry undertones. Light hop astringency confronts corn-liquored tease at delicate citric-spiced finish.
