Slumbrew Angry Otter
Sour Brown - 7% ABV Pete This is pretty darn sour going down with a tiny hint of maltiness from the brown. You have to try pretty hard to taste the malt. It finishes almost like a dry wine. Really good. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Slumbrew Attic & Eaves Toasted Brown Ale
Brown Ale - 7.5% ABV Pete This is a great one. It has an obvious toasty flavor that just complements the sweetness of the brown ale perfectly. If you live in the Boston area, try to find one of these. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Slumbrew Beautiful Dreamer
Sour - 7% ABV Pete A little odd. It's a little bit sour, a little bit funky, and I don't really notice any of the typical flavors of a brown. Just not that good. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |

Slumbrew Flagraiser IPA
IPA - 7.5% ABV Pete Pictured bottom right. It smells malty, like you'd expect given the color. Bitter flavor really dominates this though. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Slumbrew Garde La Pêche
Sour - 4.9% ABV Pete Pretty mild sour with a hint of fruit. Not a bad warm-up option for someone who hasn't had any sours before. Super drinkable. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Slumbrew Harebrained
White IPA - 4.9% ABV Pete Love this. Pictured top right. You get both flavors of the wit and the IPA. That combination plus the low alcohol makes it a great beer to drink in the middle of the day, especially if you're outside or, in my case, in the brewery. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Slumbrew Hop Solo
IPA - 7% ABV Pete Incredible IPA. It's so citrusy that it almost makes you think it's a fruity beer. Just a big time rush of hop aroma/flavor. Also great name. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Slumbrew Island Day
IPA - 6.5% ABV Pete This beer is a little misleading. It says pale ale on the bottom, not IPA (yes I realize PA stands for pale ale, but still). Now that I've gotten that off my chest...this beer was outstanding. It's citrusy, not too bitter (despite the IBU's). Definitely worth getting: Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Slumbrew Lobstah Killah
Red Ale - 8% ABV Pete I didn't really like this beer. It didn't have all that much flavor. There certainly wasn't enough there to mask the booziness. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Slumbrew Luma Luma
IPA - 7.3% ABV Pete This is a very good citrusy IPA with a very dry, almost champagne-like, finish. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Slumbrew My Better Half
Cream Ale - 7.2% ABV Pete Weirdly malty and vanilla-y. Vanilla works great in stouts, but not in this. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Slumbrew Porter Square Porter
Porter - 6.5% ABV Pete This is a damn good thick porter. It's got a ton of roasted malty flavor. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Slumbrew Yankee Swap 2015
Belgian Quad - 12% ABV Pete This is a little bit sweet/malty, but the extreme dominant flavor is booze. It's just a bit too much to get over. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
