(MIRACLE) RED DEVIL ALE

Sampled directly after awful Drax Beer for real Halloween treat! Fetching red devil on label quite eye catching in its detail. As for ale inside, haunting chocolate residue and spooky yeast sediment strike first, but marauding mocha malt sweetness dies over time. Brewed as traditional English Ale, witchy tonic needs more ghoulish spicing. Serve with fangs. Brewery defunct: 2006.

CAFFREY’S IRISH ALE

Scotch-scented billowy-headed ale slides creamy malt resilience across soft grain flow, but lackluster body, density, and finish allows overwhelming fizz to intrude. Perhaps bottled version sent overseas to America is watered down for less discernible tastes. However, on tap its satin yeast elegance, subtle crystal malting, and mild wheat sash combine for mellow perfection (and would rate 5 stars).
