Fat Head’s Brewing Oktoberfest Bavarian-Style Festbier
Golden to Orange Amber with cigarette paper colored head of tight bubbularity. Crackled shell lacing dissolves to stylized hop on its side, ice rink automaton hexagon shatter. Nose shows orange-citrus -lemon bread notes with a yeasty coating. Palate is brassy and lemon zesty, malty droplet breadstick. Solid Festbier offers so much and all of it just what you want. Fantastic.

Inky cab with purple-tinged blood blackness from rim to rim. Glass painter with star bright reflectivity. Viscous Frankenstein hair tears over glacial-carved canyon. Nose of black cherry, raisinated currant, light toast, lighter pepper, carnation, violet, licorice, blackberries with honey. Mouth-coating with a luxurious mouthfeel showing silky tannins with a modicum of grain. Cassis, graphite, baked blueberry, black currant. Sustain. Bold and unabashed.

Tight, tannic but decidedly pleasant with its grippy-ness. Black cherry, cassis, black plum and smoky tobacco. Power punch up front and finesse on the finish after some decant.

3Daughters Vagabond IPA
Bready pretzel tinged in tart lime and savory but not harsh. Very enjoyable beer sporting a zesty lemon against breadstick for a classic style without overhopping. Great!

2013. Dark presence with violet-black from edge to end. Unctious. El Capitan tears with solar flare outcroppings linear paralleling across the cliff face. Lovely mushroom and earth interplay here with blackberry bourgeoning and black olive wisps. Forêt Noir leanings with brittle and toffee behind a curious veil of grill smoke. Palate is met with a rush of intense flavor, warm dark chocolate and raw nib, concentrated black cherry, cedar, blackberries and red currant, ripe blackberry, licorice, tobacco, and a drop of treacle. Wild resonance! Flavor permanences.

Copperpoint Everflow IPA Boynton Beach FL
Apple Juice coloring. Tight, white drift. Sticky subterranean banyan root lacing with mutated emus in hilly topography. Bright tangerine and red grapefruit nose also bringing lemon zest and lime. Caramel note peeking through magnolia blossom. Pops on the palate with pink and white grapefruit and just a hint of candied lemon peel, white pepper and pith. The lacing turns primitive moose scribble constellations in this local cluster. Great offering from a neighboring brewery.

Abomination Brewing Trick or Treat Imperial Pumpkin Stout thick and viscous black with reddish he’ll-hues. Gingerbread hued head leaves the scene quickly. Shark’s maw sandhill lacing devolves to cartoon bones. Ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon and cedar nose. Bright ginger and candied grapefruit entry, nibby bits of unsweetened chocolate and black strap molasses. Burnt sugar mated with malts. Clove and nutmeg follow. Long deep and dark haunting finish. Enter the void!

Plantain and lemon verbena. Corn muffin with jalapeño, lemon pith, chive and white grapefruit peel. Powerhouse citrus rush and laser lemon oil expression. Yeasty entry proves feint-worthy as it tightens to key lime and complex lemon pulp iteration, tangerine pulp, unripe pineapple. Rich as madeleine at moments, then racy citrus and pith-dry to finish.
