“Dark” is an understatement for this beast of a beer… 7.5 ABV hits late and hard after a boatload of dark roasted malt and slight sugar. One-and-done but worth it! - Drinking a Castle by Bunker Brewing Company - https://t.co/LTuc5fqUxl

Collab btw. Wayward Lane and Wild East, appropriately smoky and roasty and not too heavy. Definitely need a few more before these are gone! - Drinking a Kummerspeck by Wayward Lane Brewing - https://t.co/6WQIKh3nBA

A little sweet but the residual yeast and apple helps keep it balanced. Hoping to try some of their other offerings while in Boston. - Drinking a Blue Hills Orchard by Stormalong Cider - https://t.co/AavsKQsVMk

Appropriately funky and tart, with a heftier-than-expected ABV… definitely worth seeking out. - Drinking a Scrumpy Cider by @Bridge_X_Tunnel @ Bridge and Tunnel Brewery — https://t.co/QAxTl6UUl0

Sometimes a simple beer is best. Clean, slightly sweet pils that won’t get in the way of a meal or snack at the local bistro. - Drinking a Meteor Pils by @bieres_meteor @ Chateau 49 — https://t.co/PIXEO0T482

Reatrained Vienna lager — solid malts but without the cloying sweetness of most examples. All NY grains and hops FTW. - Drinking a Raising the Grain by @bigalicebrewing at @bigalicebrewing — https://t.co/JlOjeKB8Fr

[Malt & Barley @MaltAndBarley]

A beast of a Baltic Porter… heavy body, heavy roasts, enough residual sugar to offset the alcohol burn. This local brew gives the Zywiec export version a run for its money. - Drinking a Sound Dues by @torchandcrown @ Untappd at Home — https://t.co/H8zK09s1kQ

Hefty and sweet, waiting for the peanut butter and maybe some more cocoa to emerge, might need to be served closer to room temperature. - Drinking a Gunner's Daughter by @MastLanding at @sweetavenuenyc — https://t.co/2BxlUXeZRy

[Malt & Barley @MaltAndBarley]

Some yeasty, earthy funk, expected levels of sweetness, and an occasional reminder that it will kick your ass (6.7% ABV). Not my everyday choice but worth sampling. - Drinking a Spring Landscape (2022) by Industrial Arts Brewing @ Solid State — https://t.co/d8zCpGAmZR

Nice hot pepper bite and lingering taste. I’d prefer to dial back the lactose a couple notches and skip the vanilla, but this is still a fine dessert brew. - Drinking a SPICY HOT CHOCOLATE by @taleabeer @ Firefly — https://t.co/q2jXuruI43

Cold brew, nitro, and the classic dry stout should all work together but come up short. Surprisingly watery, exposing acidic notes in the coffee. - Drinking a Nitro Cold Brew Coffee by @GuinnessIreland @ Untappd at Home — https://t.co/JmmweexI9S

[Malt & Barley @MaltAndBarley]

Pretty classic edition of the doppel — malt forward, high ABV (8.2%) — with just enough fizz to moderate the pace of consumption. Might need to try a dash of cayenne in my next one… - Drinking a Troegenator Doublebock @ Untappd at Home - https://t.co/HAXpJISJIs

[Malt & Barley @MaltAndBarley]

Well balanced take on a schwarz-style beer with a Czech twist. Starts almost dry, malts emerge toward the end, definitely worth tracking down. - Drinking a Coolship Lager Black by @OECBrewing @ Untappd at Home — https://t.co/YR7lNrSX1W

[Malt & Barley @MaltAndBarley]

Another local take on schwarzbier — properly roasty and malty, a touch heavy for year-round consumption but ideal for late fall / NYC winter / early spring. Hoping this gets canned ASAP so I can keep a stash on-hand.... (Dark Days To Come) https://t.co/fSMM45AudQ

[Malt & Barley @MaltAndBarley]

Not sure what’s going on here, as I’m not finding much (if any) coffee or nitro or spice… just the sweetness of a canned pumpkin. A noble experiment that I’d prefer to try on draft.... (Cold Brew Coffee Pumking Nitro) https://t.co/26FZCFVtXo

[Malt & Barley @MaltAndBarley]

Middle-of-the-pack festbier — dials up the malts and a bit of the sugar, a bit heavy for more than one in a sitting. - Drinking an Oktoberfest by @meierscreekbrew at @innoncolumbia1 — https://t.co/Kp9wfwgRR0

[Malt & Barley @MaltAndBarley]

High-octane (7.5% ABV) and bone dry with some minerality and tartness. Stood up well to Indian food tonight… - Drinking a Slatestone by Black Diamond Farm at @innoncolumbia1 — https://t.co/njQZrLBU4Z

[Malt & Barley @MaltAndBarley]

Dry and tart and a little funky… definitely worth checking out again. - Drinking an Old Marauder by @embarkcider at @innoncolumbia1 — https://t.co/GHxsO82g7L

[Malt & Barley @MaltAndBarley]

More “copper” than “rye” — not so much black pepper, but the earthy notes come in late. A great beer to celebrate the return of “sweatshirt-and-shorts” weather in NYC. - Drinking an Autumn Rye by @bigalicebrewing at @bigalicebrewing — https://t.co/Hl79flvcTf

[Malt & Barley @MaltAndBarley]

The 2021 edition reins in the classic sweet malts for a drier, slightly nutty finish and dials back the ABV to 4.5% — total winner that I’d be happy to see year-round. - Drinking a Forged In Fire by @alewife_brewing @ Untappd at Home — https://t.co/MZVXii2X5v
