CARTON CAFE DE HORCHATA IMPERIAL CREAM ALE

On tap at Taphouse 15, less creamily vigorous than more distinctly rich Carton cream ale variants. Dry rice milking doesn’t coax enough flavonoids outta mild vanilla coffee adjunct and restrained cinnamon spicing, letting semi-sharp lemony hop bittering bide time for slight whiskey back penetrating rice-milked cinnamon coffee finish of Mexican horchata confection.

DOGFISH HEAD SUDDENLY COMFY IMPERIAL CREAM ALE

Nice “take on fresh baked apple pie” gathers apple-juiced cinnamon, allspice and vanilla bean adjuncts for cinnamon-toasted Apple Jacks entry. At the midst, subsidiary cinnamon babka, spiced cider, rum cake, lemon snaps and apple strudel illusions seep in above its honeyed Graham Cracker base. Mildest soapiness lessens body and character just a hair.

CARTON FRENCH COFFEE IMPERIAL CREAM ALE

On tap at Beef Trust, frothy whipped cream head settles atop milk-sugared French roast coffee sweetness of orange brandy-barreled Regular Coffee derivation. Soothing Grand Marnier illusions promote sharp citrus bruise and mild grape tannins to envelop vanilla-dipped cappuccino, caramel latte and crème de cacao riffs. Just a tad too liqueur-sweet for perfection, but a wonderful brandy nightcap alternative nevertheless.
