Fine dark ale aged in oak cask never lets peculiar fungi yeast element disturb deeply penetrating dry cherry pucker, parched fig-date tartness, and orange-bruised white peach scamper of frothy sienna-bodied tan-laced bitter. At midst, tannic white-green grape pucker receives tart orange-peeled lemon rind bittering juxtaposed by ascending dried raisin piquancy. Smoothly satisfying and perfect as an approachable crossover for light-bodied sour ale drinkers.

Creamy vanilla penetrates ashy tobacco linger, cocoa butter sway, and soured mocha-chocolate roast of clouded tawny medium body. Semi-dry peat-maple-hazelnut confluence indulges well-rounded burnt coffee finish effectively.

Chewy 11% alcohol-soaked dark ale layers honeyed vanilla creaminess atop bittersweet raisin-prune-fig cluster, candied apple stickiness, and bruised banana recess. Peppery-hopped cinnamon-clove spicing embeds ancillary brandy-soaked cherry ethers, earthen grape tannins, and vinous bourbon-port warmth.

Well-balanced amber-hued ale renders chalky mocha opening that subjugates casual coffee-burnt sourness, gentle caramel creaminess, and soft water aridity. Though chocolate-roasted sweetness lingers, overall lighter-bodied appeal, coupled with muted fruity hop tartness, seem closer to red ale styling.

Beautiful maple malting and raisin-fig mouthfeel anticipate smoked barleywine essence. Dry wheat husk counters polite mocha-chocolate roast and tobacco leaf cloak. Brewery defunct: 2003.

Peculiar sour grain whim settles down and vanishes in fizzy haze as ticklish honey nut spell retreats to soft hop daintiness. Easy drinking brown ale’s seafaring ocean spray briskness mired by vague, dull finish.

Sour fruited, weak grained, uninteresting pale body with bland orange rind sputter.
