Chameleonic German-styled hybrid develops protrusely over time, crossing Maibock sour fruiting with rye-dried Roggenbier tendencies and melanoidin Weizenbock sugaring. Chewy caraway-seeded rye graining and wispy fennel powdering provide fine base. Pineapple-glazed ham sweetness picks up mellow cotton-candied banana-clove-cardamom spicing to secure affable Bavarian wheat beer stamina. Fig-dried pucker deepens oncoming saison-like citric souring.
Easygoing sessionable moderation, based on an ancient English pale ale (and given an Americanized Citra hop zest), relies on crisp crystal malt-sugared floral hop spicing. Lemony yellow grapefruit, apple, peach and pear illusions stay soft above grassy vegetal easement.
Abstruse dark ale brings unexpected compost-wafted rauchbier-like cedar burn to dry cocoa-powdered Baker’s chocolate provocation. Smoky wet-wooded campfire setting outdoes dirty-grained astringency, tar-like raw molasses bittering, fig souring and anise seeding, disrupting stylistic mocha influence.
Brewer’s initial offering re-creates traditional Irish red ale with peated whiskey easement leading to honeyed tea resonance. Nominal cardboard-like sugar glass sweetness contrasts dry Scotch malts, calm hop astringency and light citric tease.
Feisty copper-glazed pale ale, nearly as rich as its viscous hue, indirectly approximates an Irish ale with dewy peat malts spread across light pumpernickel rye breading and resinous piney hops. Fig-dried grape souring and dessicated grapefruit bittering coat the earthen bottom.
Lighter, less complex and more approachable than brewers’ Pale Ale. Mild green hop bittering politely embitters nebulous citric splash to frail white breaded backdrop. Fresh-cut grass waft seeps into delicate floral background.

Vegetal tinge hidden beneath.
On tap at Shoreline Beverage, robust mocha dessert beer recalls chocolate chip cookie or Sugar Daddy candy bar on the sweet side.

Voluminous bourbon-barreled Imperial Stout (circa 2013) gains warmth for soothing nightcap. Smoked bourbon saturates black coffee overtones and dark-roasted chocolate malting. Candied Jack Daniels whiskey sweetness picks up steam thereafter as lovely espresso, molasses, vanilla, anise and gingerbread undertones contrast hop-charred wood burn.
