Disappointing oxidized waft and putrid hard-candied bruised orange souring corrupt dubious golden-hued strong ale. Scurvy dry-lagered rye-wheat base and tepid lemongrass funk further denigrate metallic 7% alcohol-smitten weasel. Similar to nearby Pizza Port's only bad beer, Das Boot Helles Lager.

Curious 10th anniversary American strong ale (brewed with honeyed spices) suffuses resounding eucalyptus-anise nosing with sugary malt stickiness, curacao orange reminder, and rare cardamom-spiced botanical gentian seduction. Prune-date sequel sets up thorough nutmeg, cinnamon, coriander, and rotting pumpkin autumnal seasoning girding fleeting barleywine-like finish. An herbal remedy?

Sweet floral-wafted perfume-hopped aura and quirky wheat wine swerve coalesce caramel-candied malting of burnished amber full body. Chewy yeast sediment boosts lofty 8% alcohol rigidity. Bold barleywine finish lathers high class Italian.

Mildly turbid prune-hued smoke-spiced Northerner reminiscent of full-bodied India Pale Ale, only sweeter and with more sediment yeast particles. Buttery malt whiskey waft proves headier than initial sourdough stipend, affable jasmine spicing, and fragile rice-barley spine.

Fickle Canadian complements raw maple nose with honey-soured tangerine-orange-apple tartness, ripe raisin infer and sedate butterscotch sweetness. Supportive off-dry clove-hopped persuasion wilts beside barley-toasted wheat biscuit backbone, finishing like a cheaply spiced Belgian ale.

Top-fermented billowy-headed amber-glazed Belgian strong ale with firmly centered whiskey malting and candi-sugared yeast thicket clouding lemon-soured apricot-peach tang. Ginger-snapped banana-clove-coriander wisp adds luster, but tentative dry-hopped citric finish merely teases tongue, lowering complexity.

Proud brewers of fine Scarecrow Ale and Fiddler's Elbow return with cordial copper-hazed orange-highlighted pale ale. Buttery caramelized malts confirm bread-y yeast nose as lemony candied sweetness and soured citrus twang backup encrusted grain smear to crystalline water finish for light-bodied elegance.

Crisp light ale with "100% Fuggles hops"" contains floating insert to preserve flavor, but lacks distinct English grain-malt character and creamy resilience, hurting chance to deliver knockout punch. Disappointingly un-Special, though pint can features snazzy elephant insignia.

Creamy prune-hued alcohol-battered dark ale perks fig-raisin-fruitcake emphasis with nutty caramel cluster and sugary toffee tinge as peach-pear confluence ascends. Earthy bottom deepens hard water texture.

Sinewy floral yeast thickens tertiary banana-marshmallow hint and brown sugared anise slip. Heady slow sipping digestif conveys irrefutable character and strength.

Easy drinkin' brown-bodied fleshy-headed Belgian strong ale lacks advertised anise-coriander seasoning. Instead, heady burgundy-bourbon warmth permeates brown-sugared spiced chocolate drift and awakened prune-raisin-beet sift. Sharply carbolic floral hops tamed by mineral watered smoothing.

An 'aggressive beer' indeed. Sticky molasses malts preside over up-front floral hop insistence, earthy grain thrust, and juicy tangerine stint for surefire opening salvo to brilliant rosy amber ale. Bittersweet dark chocolate overtones fade in and out, providing wonderful conduit ambushing lingering medicinal quilt.
