Tangy white wined Flemish-styled red ale burrows vinegary acidity below illusions of hard cider, sour citrus, tart cherry, and dry prune. By mid-palate, prevalent green apple overtones invade astringent oaken finish. On tap, barleywine chill recedes to brandied cherry jubilee whisk and cranberry-grape tannin sequel.

Viscous rust penny-hued ale (dotted by heavy yeast sediment) retains bittersweet orange-peeled lemon bruising above green apple, boysenberry, raspberry and peach tartness. Dry-hopped white peppering increases ancillary currant sharpness. Musty earthen herbal nuance and fresh cut grass leathering linger to mildly creamed fruitful finish.

Pour slowly this lively carbolic Belgian-styled brew. Sophisticated tan-headed, tawny-bodied Grand Cru calibrates brown ale, holiday ale, and barleywine tendencies efficiently. Brisk orange-apple fruiting, floral cinnamon-cardamom-nutmeg spicing and subtle black licorice snippet bedeck sweet doughy wheat spine ’til buttery finish secures wintry warmth.

Robust yet smooth brown-bodied English strong ale links sweet chocolate-caramel waft to rich multi-grain fortitude and moderate nutty hop bitterness, finishing alcoholic without upsetting polite honey malt pleasantry.

Increasingly tart Belgian knockoff links soured banana-plantain opening to medicinal cherry coughdrop midst, where tangy tangerine, pear, and white grape fruiting gets casually spotted.

In memory of Wild Duck brewmaster Glen Falconer, this aggressively spruce-hopped bitter gains piney notes by silky, yet bold, mocha-spiced finish. Brewery defunct: 2004.

Uncompromising Belgian-inspired ‘ruby’ rich barleywine-styled 10th anniversary ale gains strong liqueur appeal, buxom chewy yeast texture, and turbid cherry cola haze after cascading butterscotch bubbles settle. Plum wine overtones gradually recede to ester-y red grape dryness. Black cherry, clementine, and cider illusions thicken brandy finish curtailing soured raisin-date aftertaste.

Pronounced piney spruce auspices serve doubly-hopped IPA-styled strong ale well. Souring grapefruit rind ascension jacks up ripe peach-pear-apple-papaya tang, augmenting fresh evergreen grove to cracked wheat spine. Despite piercingly bitter citric bite, cordial medium body flows down gullet ever so smoothly.

Unassuming rusty nickel-hued strong ale with Scotch-licked dried fruit penetration rides out bitter oxidation to depleted Courvoisier-bourbon finish. Lively carbolic fizz scuttles tangy cherry-orange-peach waver, cursory fig-date-pecan scamper, and latent tobacco-cork acridity.

Brewed from 300-year old recipe, peculiar robust British ale leaves a mint-y aftertaste to freshen your breath. Dark brown appearance, thick beige head, malted barley palate, and sweet nutmeg adjunct conjoin spicy wine-affected treat perfect alongside Middle Eastern cuisine.

On tap, slow sippin’ off-dry American strong ale (brewed in conjunction with nearby Rogue Ales) brings thickening raisin-fig-date salvo to nutty-bottomed sugared molasses malting. Barleywine finish enhanced by brown chocolate snatch.

Buttery mocha-malted cherry brandy sweetness provides fine initiation for intriguing ruddish-browned alcohol-fueled ale. Mild cognac easement saturates orange blossom-honeyed apricot, peach, pear and tangerine fruiting. Nutty vanilla illusions envelop spice-hopped butterscotch-caramel finish.
