Tried on tap at brewery, this valiant limited edition oak-aged IPA offers dark-spiced citric setting, sugar maple sapping, and rum-soaked sherry finish. Bubblegum, banana, sliced peach, and cherry illusions round out full-bodied perfection.
WOLAVERS I.P.A.
WOLAVERS CERTIFIED ORGANIC PAT LEAVY’S ALL-AMERICAN ALE
WOLAVERS CERTIFIED OATMEAL STOUT
Promising coffee-oiled cappuccino entry and transient cocoa-dried dark chocolate spell bring dissipating up-front pleasantry. But oats-charred hop bittering and ashen tar acridity subsume initial mocha bounty as well as ancillary dried-fruited cherry-fig souring and smoked nut segue, allowing musty earthen graining to relegate mushroomed piney bottom.
WOLAVERS BROWN ALE
WITKAP-PATER ABBEY-SINGEL ALE
Yet another brew that rips us off for .8 ounces (11.2 oz. instead of 12). Smooth, somewhat fruity Belgium ale goes down like clove-spiced champagne. Musty apple-pear misting and phenolic lemony grapefruit dissonance reach ransacked doughy bottom. A tad too sudsy to fully satisfy the beast within, lacking body and character (especially when compared to finer Belgian ales).
