OMMEGANG THREE PHILOSOPHERS BLUEBERRY COFFEE QUAD

On tap at Ambulance, opulent Three Philosophers spinoff provides hop-charred black coffee roast and pureed blueberry tartness to original cherry jubilee/ Lambic blend. But its bustling flavor profile never fully integrates since its boldly impulsive dark chocolate-ravaged black coffee richness diminishes the dark cherry and blueberry tartness as well as its tertiary cocoa, toffee, plum and apricot illusions.

BRIX CITY POCO FUERTE

On tap at Poor Henry’s, lusciously caramelized barleywine/quadrupel blend aged for a year in bourbon barrels proves immediately profound. Lovely bourbon vanilla sweetness gains chocolate-spiced frisk at dried fruited midst. Chocolate-covered cherry, pureed raisin and sugared fig illusions synch with rummy quad intensity to elevate barleywinish toffee-candied caramel finish. Resilient!

OFF COLOR GROWL

Dissipating dark candi syruping bedevils sweet beet-sugared aspect, veering enigmatic quadruple-styled Belgian ale in different direction as dewy peat soiling and mildly soured dried fruiting come to the fore above its frail pilsner-oats spine. Soured fig-raisin conflux marginalizes pecan-buttered banana-plantain stint and wispy vanilla jaunt. Needs better and broader quad-like flavor profile.
