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.

Well-balanced medium-bodied pale ale salutes Boston Red Sox colossal leftfield wall. Biscuit-y barley toasting and bright orange-apple tang counter phenol juniper-hopped alcohol burn. Sugared malts expand pleasant sweetness above calm grapefruit peel bittering and wet wood windup.

Mild wheat-corn trickle and barren lemon souring inform grassy hop bittering. Displaced licorice niche and blunt alcohol astringency sink ho-hum slacker.

Reddish-orange turbidity of Belgian-styled artisan ale captures the eye while spicy green apple, white grape and tart citrus seize the tongue. Dry oak bittering consumes vinous cider pucker saddling backend of herbaceous wildflower vagary.

Inconspicuous li’l 9-ounce amber-hazed treat opens with rounded bubbles consuming slowly fading frothy head. Creamy chocolate malts, relaxing floral hops, and sweet Scotch savor given alcohol-fueled response, leading to pleasant barleywine finish.
