English-styled amber ale spreads barest caramel malt caress over dry hops and pale grains to modest spicy finish.
SMUTTYNOSE WINTER ALE
Wimpy seasonal falters. Honeyed green tea bite provides herbaceous scurry amidst dewy chocolate malting, dry char-hopped raisin-banana spec, and delinquent coriander-clove notch. Sneaky walnut-Brazilian nut oiliness maunders through dank mildewed mustiness, burnt timber haze, and earthen grain faze.
SMUTTYNOSE WHEAT WINE ALE
Wonderful peach-y amber hued paragon crosses ‘voluptuous’ barleywine traits with tart American wheat ale distinctions. Abrupt biscuit-y wheat sweetness illuminated by apricot, orange rind, and grapefruit bitterness before resplendent butterscotch resilience thickens impending honeyed malt stickiness. Lingering spiced hop luxuriance prickles savory fruity tang. Simply impeccable.
SMUTTYNOSE WEIZENHEIMER ALE
Tame pale-hazed ‘weizen’ with dry white wine warmth and fresh hay undertow displaced by plantain-banana balm, dainty floral-clove modesty, sour lemon wisp, and raspy orange blear to wheat biscuit bottom.
(SMUTTYNOSE) S’MUTTONATOR DOUBLE BOCK
Fruitful brownish amber bock scintillates from ripe citrus opening to warm barleywine finish. Juicy fig-raisin emphasis envelops ripe tangerine, bruised banana, and maraschino cherry on second passing, strikingly contrasting alcohol heft. Buttery caramel and biscuit-y wheat guard corners; occasional cinnamon dalliance or floral trace pop up.
SMUTTYNOSE SHOALS PALE ALE
Rich mocha malting and piney dry-hopped char secure docile front end of copper-toned English-styled ale. Musty cocoa nose brings out chocolate creaminess above dirty grain presence. Distant fruit tang recieves unexpected wood-burnt bittering to biscuit-y baked bread spine.
SMUTTYNOSE SCOTCH STYLE ALE
Beautiful roasted malt sweetness intrigues nose then mouth as cascading auburn bubbles surface quickly above burgundy body. Elegant spiced hops caress smooth buttery flow consuming mild espresso spell, bitter black tea swell, and resinous earthen peat quell. Fruity esters, dried plum, and caramelized toffee outline barleywine finish.
SMUTTYNOSE ROBUST PORTER
Dry stout-like mocha assertion reveals coffee bean insistence over sinewy yeast seduction and burnt hickory-oak wood tone. Bittersweet black chocolate surge and roasted tobacco splurge confirm ‘robust’ aphorism.
SMUTTYNOSE PUMPKIN ALE
Brassy pumpkin muffin essence increased by dry hop sharpness as piercing coriander-nutmeg spicing and lemony berry-nectar illusions intensify bright floral highlights to cinnamon-spiced pumpkin pie finish. On tap, pumpkin-spiced decorum acquires spicier floral hop tingle, malt-lacquered ginger gunk and whimsical gin tinge.
SMUTTYNOSE PORTSMOUTH LAGER
Bittersweet caramel luster dominates soft milky yeast flow of reliable copper-paled Vienna lager. Floral spiced-hop screed, distant toasted barley heed, and dried raisin sneak add depth. Reminiscent of Sugar Daddy candy bar and more complex than ordinary grain-based lagers.
SMUTTYNOSE OLD BROWN DOG ALE
Blood-thick chocolate malt richness and mild burnt hop bitterness provide winning blend for high caliber New Englander. Softer palates will appreciate moderate-bodied essence yet hard drinking guzzlers will enjoy long lasting mocha finish.
SMUTTYNOSE MAIBOCK
Lively fruit permanence emits peach-toned melon-honeydew tang coating mild hop-embittered malt-soured scourge. Oncoming honeyed wheat biscuit sweetness nearly escapes the senses as contrasting herbal rosewood-jasmine bouquet shines through orange blossom midst. Thinner than dark amber hue indicates. Minor sulfuric acidity hampers melon-pear backdrop.
