Style: Imperial Stout
Grand Rapids, Michigan USA
Serve in Snifter
ABV: 11.2%

Imperial stout is brewed with a large amount of coffee and chocolates, then cave-aged in oak bourbon barrels for an entire year to make sure those bourbon undertones come through in the finish. The blackest of black, this beverage is very pleasant without going over the top. The aroma is of booze/bourbon, vanilla, oak, caramel, and sweet fruit with a melon taste. So silky smooth, the body is almost syrupy. You can taste the sweet, mellow, dark chocolate, gentle alcohol bite; barrel influence is very much present, but not overpowering.

Montauk, New York USA

ABV: 5.6%

The taste is a melody of caramel, rye bread, toast, lemon zest, apples and flowers. Color is clear amber, lots of evident carbonation in the beer, pours a half finger of frothy head that retains very well. The aroma contains very subtle traces of lemon zest and toast. The body is light/medium with high carbonation. It is slightly creamy yet very light, which makes for some amazing contrast.

Brewed by Ithaca Beer Company
New York, United States
Berliner Weissbier
4.20% ABV

A perfectly clear wheat gold appearance. Head start bright white, lively, loose, and bubbly. Drops to a nonexistent cap and collar almost instantly. Solid but not aggressive carbonation. Slightly tart. You can taste some lemon juice and zest. A touch of grass with some very mild earthy elements. Some hints of apple and a very very mild hint of raw honey. The aroma is mild pale bready malt coupled with a decent amount of wheat and a soft lactic tartness. You can find hints of lemon, grass clippings, and a mild hint of citrus, along with a touch of apple skin and some vague fruity elements. Light and balanced, clean and easy take. Just tart enough. Typically solid Ithaca
