On tap at Barcade – Jersey City, ‘luscious’ English-styled old ale allows port-soaked oak chips to subtly affect caramel-toasted chocolate malting (of original Old Brown Dog Ale) and vanilla-spiced marzipan piquancy above mild earthen hop resin. Rum-spiced pecan, chestnut and butternut illusions gain syrupy brown-sugared molasses sweetness as well as flickering fig-date passivity.
