We have a winner, and it's you! No recounts or lawsuits just a shload of yummy, local suds to keep you company as the weather turns cold.
Uinta - Peppermint Patty: Smells of mint, lots of mint. Hints of coffee and chocolate on the
edges. Taste is creamy and chocolaty with
a hint of roast and a good dose of mint. The taste was good, more like a Girl Scout Thin Mint than a York Peppermint Patty, which is what I had been expecting. 8.5% Available at Uinta.
Uinta - Test Phaze NEIPA: This beer pours a hazy, yet bright medium apricot orange colour, with
four fingers of puffy, loosely foamy. It smells of gritty and grainy caramel malt, some orange, tangerine,
lemon, and red grapefruit citrus rind. The taste is grainy and
crackery pale malt, a faint biscuity toffee sweetness, kind of muddled citrus with some faint stone fruits and more earthy,
herbal, and musky hop bitters. 7.0% - Available starting today at Uinta.
Proper - Coward's Fist: This gin barrel aged IPA takes Proper's Revenge DIPA and ages it Hammer Springs' Gin. This gin has a good dose of sage with hints of whiskey. It very botanical and it works very well with the citrus zest hop blend in the IPA. A very complex BA IPA. 10.0% Available at Proper today.
Hopkins - Coconut Macadamia Porter: I was afraid that this would be another sweet pastry stout. It's not that at all. No lactose, with subtle use of coconut and nuts. The porter's roasty base maintains it power over the beer. Served on nitro. 5.0% - only at Hopkins.
Shades - Pumpkin Pie Cream Ale: Shades has made a beer for every pie on the planet, so of course in November they would make their version of a pumpkin pie. There's their signature tart kveik beer base with a pleasant amount of pumpkin and pumpkin spices. Sweet graham cracker rounds out the flavor and makes the pie mimicking beer complete. Very nice. Not vegan friendly. 6.5% - Available at Shades.
Cheers!
