    Yuengling Oktoberfest

  • Brilliant, medium-copper color with a generous white head. The nose offers classic Oktoberfest-Marzen aromatics of caramel-touched malt with toasted grains, floral hop accents, and a hint of burnt orange. The palate confirms the nose, delivering a malty, rich core with waves of natural acidity, herbal accents, and subtle hop notes rising on the finish. Medium-bodied, with a vibrant yet opulent core that exhibits ideal balance and great length. Brewed in the USA but its DNA is pure Bavaria. Available seasonally, August through October. 4.5 Stars

    • Sullivan's Brewing Black Marble Stout

  • Deep, dark black, opaque, with a frothy white head. The nose is filled with the scents of espresso, black malted barley, dried fruits, and dark chocolate with properly subtle hop notes. The palate is in full agreement with the nose, delivering a coffee/black malt-driven core with waves of cocoa nibs, French roast coffee, and a touch of creamy vanilla. Medium-bodied and ideally balanced, with dry malt and coffee bean notes rising on the finish, drying the sweeter and fruity accents. 4.5 Stars

    • Sullivan's Brewing Irish Gold Golden Ale

  • Medium golden color, mildly hazy, with a frothy white head. The nose is filled with the scents of toasted malt, honey, light caramel, and roasted peaches. The palate is in full accord with the nose, delivering a honeyed malt-driven core with waves of toasted cereal foiled by accents of citrus. Medium-bodied and ideally balanced, with a long, lingering finish. 4.5 Stars

  • Crystal clear with faint, fine bubbles. The nose is filled with the scents of red berries and citrus with subtle herbal accents.

  • Brilliant, faint green color with subtle, fine bubbles. There are subtle offering scents of rosemary and citrus, and supporting floral accents.

Medium-bodied and ideally balanced with a silky texture that maintains its freshness, never becoming cloying. 4 Stars
