Lilting vanilla-spiced tingle and floral orange-peach tang brighten mellowed caramel malt sweetness. Roasted barley, honeyed oats, and wafting mash tun conceal supple cherry spurt. Serve to fruit ale lovers.

Thickly viscous cider-soured amber ale with fickle yeast clumps bidding candied butterscotch-toffee-ambrosia sweetness to herbal clove-spiced chicory-peppercorn stint. Maple-raisin confluence overrides phenol astringency and unresolved fruity frolic.

Brewers’ inaugural ’06 offerings were highly carbolic so pour slowly. Dry roasted hops and burnt wood chip slip reminiscent of finer India Pale Ales while grain-toasted caramel malting redolent of classic Bass Pale Ale. Supplemental spruce, beechwood, and dark floral undertones fade to parched oak bark niche, but acrid oxidation yields promiscuous heavy alcohol seepage. Brewery defunct: 2006.

Tedious orange-soured honey nut-backed moderate body becomes acidic and lacks decent finish. Spiced nuttiness and herbal earthiness fail to overcome vegetal spell. Watery, ineffective, and insufficient.

Tangy peach-quince freshness brightens honeyed cereal malts and grapefruit-embittered floral hops of copper-hazed pearly-headed moderate body. Sour lemon rind seduction and wood-soaked cherry parch encounter earthen mineral grains at cracked wheat spine. But abrupt astringency scours bitter piney finish, coarsening sour bruised lemon musk.

Amiable sunset-hazed amber ale brings lively orange-apricot resonance to reedy hop mildness, but lemony butterscotch mirage and fading chocolate malt gamut lessen overall inertia.

Deceptive prune-hued wheat brew gives unexpected dry plum essence a flirtatious chocolate truffle shuffle and teasing caramel lag countering butterscotch-candied souring to slim lemon-coriander coil. Brewery defunct: 2005.

Sugared mocha malts perk up steadfast amber. Mildly creamy laid-back casualness is its own reward, as maple-sapped vanilla and butterscotch illusions sweeten grainy backdrop. A true lightweight champ.

Dark amber glow befits dry-bodied English-styled ale. Bright apricot-tangerine tang, tannic grape esters, slim quince glint, and lemon meringue souring provide sufficient fruiting to ascending pumpernickel-rye thrust. Toasted wheat spine and slim roasted nuttiness hide herb-spiced fig-date lament.

Light aromatic malts, fuzzy carbolic hops, and sweet water base anchored by fine honeyed biscuit spine for extremely smooth moderately dry russet-hued treat. Brewery defunct: 2002.

Rustic 1908 Brattleboro firehouse displayed on label of rich coppery amber celebrates neighboring station. Expressive pine needled spruce setting initially heightens sharp hop toasting and nutty bitterness countering sweet malt serenade. Medicinal alcohol luster hammers home charcoal-black tar influence at red-fruited finish; bottom yeast sediment adds mild viscosity.
