Avery Fourteen

Pours a nearly opaque with dark mahogany hues and a thin, airy dark tan head. Aroma of sweet dark caramel with a hint of dark chocolate and big grapefruity hoppy notes with some doughy Belgian yeast. Body starts with a nice dark caramel malty sweetness and some plum and raisin complexity along with good bready yeasty balance and plenty of fresh citrusy hops throughout. FInishes with a crisp hint of lingering roasty bittersweet dark chocolate. A very unique and enjoyable Belgian/American strong ale. It’s kinda like a double IPA with some chocolate malt and Belgian yeast. I just wish this would be bottle conditioned.

Bottled. A dark red beer with a thick brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of berries and spices. The flavor is sweet malt with primary notes of berries, but also a light touch of alcohol, leading to a dry bitter finish.

Bottle. Clear red brown coloured with an off white head. Aroma of caramel, fruits, spices, hops and pine apples. Flavour of caramel, fruits, pine apples, spices and hops. Dry hoppy finish.

Bottle. Large light brown head, Dark brown color. Long flavor duration. Wine aroma.

(Bcttle): Pours a black brown color, big foamy head, big lacing, big bubbles, somewhat dimishing. Very alcoholy, malty aroma. Woody, dark fruit, portish. Light coffee & cigarrette taste. Smoked wood.

cola colored, tan head, clear, fair lacing. i get the aroma of raisins (maybe the described molasses?) and belgian yeast...oh and alcohol too. flavor is light alcohol, mild hoppiness (spicy?). This is a weird beer. I drank half of it before rating it and could not peg the style at all. This one is all over the place, at least to my palate.

Bottle. Black colour wit large creamy light brown fully lasting head. Aroma is roasted malt and caramel. Sweet bitter flavor and bitter finish. Oily palate.

From a 22oz Bottle. Pours a mostly transparent dark brown color of brazil nut shells, topped by a layer of fizzy tan head. Aroma of mild floral yeast fruits, roasted malt, and a touch of herbal hops. Medium bodied, firm texture with a soft carbonation. Bitter roasted malts immediately assault the palate, accompanied by a hint of smoke. Not much depth in the middle of the palate malt-wise, just a lot of roast. A hint of yeasty spice seems to crop up toward the end, but it gets pummeled by a massive load of astringent hops in the finish. Dry, bitter, astringent finish. Technically sound, but overall I find it to be too busy and muddled; the roasted malt, one-dimensional hop astringency, and yeasty spice don’t form a pleasant marriage.
