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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Slumbrew Gose The Destroyer
Gose - 4.9% ABV
Pete
     Really tasty refreshing tart beer. Good one to drink during the day (which it was when I had it).

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.

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.

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:

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.

Slumbrew Luma Luma
IPA - 7.3% ABV
Pete
     This is a very good citrusy IPA with a very dry, almost champagne-like, finish.

Slumbrew My Better Half
Cream Ale - 7.2% ABV
Pete
     Weirdly malty and vanilla-y. Vanilla works great in stouts, but not in this.

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.

Slumbrew S'More Lovin'
Brown Ale - 7% ABV
Pete
     There's a lot of flavors going on here. Not super rich, but very tasty. Vanilla, hazelnut for sure. A little weird to have during the day like I did, but what are you gonna do.

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.
