In peculiar small-necked wide-bodied cask, this raisin-esque brown ale goes down like mellow plum wine; bold and determined yet serene and mild. Artisan water adds refreshing silkiness to luxuriant perfume-hopped fig-date souring resonating to earthen peat bottom. Creamy chocolate-covered raisin finish lingers. Perfect aperitif for seafood, lamb, and veal dishes.

Malt-y garnet-hued Belgian-styled ale gets unexpected earthy deliverance (peat-mushroom-mildew) to embody raisin-date-fig entry, banana taffy dollop, molasses spec, and vinous souring, but metallic acidity at vegetative finish dulls the edges of unassuming 9% alcohol liquid.

Ethanol-charged bottle-conditioned Belgian-style dubbel with explosive champagne fizz, cloudy amber turbidity and large bottom-floating yeast clumps. Zippy orange blossom entry ripens apricot-peach-grapefruit tang after lustful carbonation and lengthy alcohol burn subside. Off-dry sour-fruited finish picks up oaken acridity.

Dry Belgian-styled double bock brings bittersweet bruised orange frontage to white grape souring, ripe prune scouring, and plum wine finish. Oak-like acridity picks up herbal nuance and possible charcoal hint after third passing.

Luscious chestnut-hued dessert ale delights palate as sugarplum sweetness and bruised cherry-banana souring merge above mellifluous chewy molasses malting. Vanilla, honey nut, and licorice consume bourbon-tinged backend sufficiently.

Viscous top-fermented ruddy-hued brown ale with definite barleywine appeal plies candi-sugared caramel-butterscotch-chocolate permanence above sweet sherry warmth and vinous burgundy-sherry souring. Crisp soft watered flow pacifies chewy molasses-dipped raisin-prune penetration, scant banana-cherry bruising, and dewy peat dankness.

Strange honeyed rice aroma consumes auburn-hued middleweight just a step down from finer, nuttier brown ales. Sedate carbonation becalms wheat wine compulsion, but deeper barley-roasted spice hop resilience needed to rank higher.
