Thick brown-bodied 10% alcohol potion offers lean caramel-burnt toffee frontage, earthen red grape backdrop, and olfactory-wafted cork-y dankness. Brown chocolate-prune depth secures rising port-like warmth.

Suspended yeast particles dot unassumingly thick-bodied, heavily viscous German Rauchbier-styled dark ale. Smoked malts punctuate quince mince plus mild dried tobacco, burnt wood, and black toast bitterness as pumpernickel, chicory, and rye adjuncts reinforce abstruse original.

Hawaii’s original microbrewery makes this mighty fine macadamia nut flavored ale. Bitter nuttiness ascends just as fluffy carbonation and deep-grained caramel malting wane. Fruity notes furnish backdrop.

Rich cloudy brown ale contrasts caramel malts against fruited hop tang and spicy-hopped bluster. Black chocolate-coffee resonation strengthens soft buttery flow. Undeniably fine.

Label brags of gefilte fish added to ‘the chosen beer.’ Made from famous Booneville grapes, beautiful organic ale emphasizes assertive fruited hop rush over chewy yeast sinew. Ethereal berry-citric juicing, white-green-red grape esters, and fig-date subsidy reach pomegranate center. Crisp mountain water softens smooth, well calibrated, top-rank bitter.

Musty malt aromatics, bland barley strand, and frisky hop rift overtake creamy sweetness. Sharp and firm on first impression, but light, watery, tinny finish weakens substantially.
