Diamond Bear Brewing Company - Pale Ale

Diamond Bear Brewing Company - Pale Ale

Diamond Bear Brewing Company - Pale Ale

  • ABV: 6.28%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 33
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Goldings, Cascade, Fugglest
  • Malts: 2-Row Pale, Caramel 40
  • Country: United States
This 2007 GABF Gold Medal winner is a very nice looking brew, pouring a crystal clear golden copper with a fairly sizable off-white head that leaves good lacing. Brewed in the English Pale Ale style, we found the toasted malt undertones to be quite nice, with a healthy dose of lightly buttery caramel overlaid with earthy, spice-like hoppiness with a shade of nutmeg. On the palate, expect this beer to present a very balanced approach. The caram...

Wychwood Brewery - Hobgoblin

  • Bottle Size: 12-oz
  • Style: English Dark Ale
  • ABV: 5.2%
  • Serving Temperature: 48-53° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Country: England

A 2006 World Beer Championships Gold Medal winner and rated Exceptional (91 points) by the Beverage Tasting Institute, Hobgoblin pours a dark amber/ light brown color with an attractive head that leaves good lace. On the nose, rich aromas of caramel, toffee, and maple syrup come forth, along with a bit of true-to-style butterscotch, dark fruits, and a touch of nuttiness and chocolate. There’s also a certain woodiness, as if the beer had been...

Browar Witnica - Black Boss Porter

  • ABV: 9.40%
  • Serving Temperature: 48-53° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Country: Poland
The Baltic Porter style is most commonly brewed in Eastern Europe and Scandinavia, and is a hearty brew with much more of an alcoholic kick than your everyday American or British porter. Black Boss is no different, although we found it a remarkably smooth and well-mannered version; some Baltic Porters can be downright aggressive (which we like too!). On the pour, Black Boss offers a very dark reddish brown color with a sizable head. The aromat...

  • Serving Temperature: 45-53°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Amarillo, Glacier
  • Malts: 2 Row Pale, Caramel 80, Chocolate, Black
  • Country: United States
Expect the color of deep cola with flashes of garnet when held to the light. On the nose, this porter is very true to style: Look for roasted malts, touches of dark chocolate and coffee, black currants, spicy hop notes, and a hint of licorice. The aroma profile comes through on the palate as well, although the hint of licorice seemed to fade away in favor of a plum-like note. While there are many “shades” within the porter styles, roasty notes...

Sebago Brewing Company - Slick Nick Winter Ale

  • ABV: 6.80%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 38.8
  • Serving Temperature: 48-53°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass, Snifter, or Tulip
  • Hops: Tettnang, Northern Brewer
  • Malts: American 2-Row, Caramel 60, Black Patent
  • Country: United States
Slick Nick is Sebago’s winter release and is their most popular seasonal. On the pour, expect a rich amber-auburn color capped by a moderate cream-colored head. The nose presents some sweet caramel malt notes with some woody undertones, and herbal, spicy hops atop some fruity hints. But it’s in the mouth that this beer shines brightest, with bold notes of holiday spices integrated throughout a complex tapestry of rich caramel malts, dark fruit...

Sebago Brewing Company - Frye’s Leap IPA

  • ABV: 6.80%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 55
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Centennial, Columbus, Cascade
  • Malts: American 2-Row, Caramel 60, Chocolate and Carapils
  • Country: United States
IPAs are popular and we sample a lot of them, but we were particularly impressed with Sebago’s version and are excited to bring it to our members across the country. On the pour, Frye’s Leap presents a golden-copper hue with a moderate head that left plenty of lace on our glasses. The aromatics are, in a word, big. Overlaying a base of pale and mild caramel malt is a hop profile that’s very floral, with big fruity citrus notes akin to orange and ...

  • Style: Spiced/Herbed Holiday IPA
  • ABV: 7.80%
  • Serving Temperature: 45° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass
  • Country: Denmark
Pretty cool quirky little label going on here. Maybe someone’s kid made it? Yes, if that kid is named Keith Shore. But he’s an adult artist living outside Philly. It’s some weirdoes feeding deer mistletoe? This mofo’s a foamer, so pour carefully. Pours a copper color and is dressed by a thick, creamy off white head. The nose smells of hops, hops and more hops, including the traditional Pacific Northwest piney, grapefruity hop notes. Some caramel ...

  • ABV: 5.00%
  • Serving Temperature: 45° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass
  • Country: France
This rare beer pours a deep straw color featuring some brassy hues. It’s capped by a thin white head that fades quickly to a collar. Presentation wise, it’s a fine looking pale brew, not unusual in appearance. One sniff, however, and you instantly know you’ve got something atypical on your hands. Expect very prominent notes of nougat (in this case, a local French version of chestnut honey and almonds comprises the cream of nougat used), offering ...
