Heavily carbonated rust-toned beige-headed ale brings sweet barleywine spirit to creamy malt extract and rich milky sinew, preserving multi-dimensional vibrancy. Perfume-wafted clove spicing fortifies delicate burgundy finish. Compare favorably to dark German Wheat Ales.

Unlike typical moderate-bodied Mexican lagers, richer raw-honeyed grain-embedded ruddy-hued ale maintains bitterer backbone, plying earthen barley-hopped parch to profuse pumpernickel-rye toasting. But vegetal off-taste depletes leftover Graham Cracker sweetness as harshly oxidized ethanol finish unfolds.
OTTO’S RED MO ALE
ROGUE WILD IRISH ROGUE
Rich mocha persistence and mellow chocolate creaminess consume mud-thickened coffee-stained ebony ‘Wild Irish’ rogue (with the light brown head). Ashy tar-like residue and bitter charred hops counter silken oak dryness while excellent spring water provides lovely crisp vibrancy. Strong coffee-tinged aftertaste compares favorably to Guinness Stout (minus some bitterness).
