Tree House Brewing Company

Charlton, MA. We've had too many of these. This is page 3. See pages 1 and 2. Page 1 has a description of the brewery itself.

Tree House Perfect Storm
Imperial New England IPA - 8% ABV
Pete
     This truly is the perfect storm. It's got earthiness, tropical citrus, and melon. The order those flavors hit you varies from sip to sip.

Tree House Perfect Storm w/Guava
Imperial New England IPA - 8% ABV
Pete
     Aroma is just pure guava. The flavor starts dry and resinous with guava filling in the background. The other fruit flavors were overpowered by the guava, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Tree House Permanence
Imperial Milk Stout - 10.4% ABV
Pete
     Tons of maple and dark chocolate flood the taste buds in this one. I expected it to be really sweet from maple, but it's definitely not. Dangerously drinkable at this alcohol level. I love stout season.

Tree House Persist
Imperial Stout - 10.5% ABV
Pete
     As good as it gets right here. Maple, chocolate, bourbon, vanilla in that order, but the flavors come through slightly differently in each sip, keeping you guessing. It's a little bit sweet, but most definitely not too sweet, as I had no trouble polishing off the entire bottle very quickly by myself. When I learned later that this was 10.5%, that explained my immediate decline in Halo skills.

Tree House Pride & Purpose
Pale Ale - 5.1% ABV
Pete
     Light body with mild citrus flavor and a touch of bitterness in the finish. A touch of lemon along with the bitterness sticks with you a bit after putting it down.

Tree House Quadruple Shot
Imperial Coffee Stout - 11.2% ABV
Pete
     This tastes like chocolate covered cherries and coffee. Incredible. It's a little on the sweet side, so you probably want to split one with someone, as the sweetness will start to wear on you in the 2nd half of the bottle.

​Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's


Picture
Tree House Quadruple Shot Cacao Cold Brew
Imperial Coffee Stout - 11.4% ABV
Pete
     Rich, semi-sweet chocolate and coffee flavors. This hides the booze more than other versions due to a little more bitterness, and it's not as sweet either. Awesome.

Tree House Quadruple Shot Cold Brew
Imperial Coffee Stout - 11.4% ABV

Tree House Quadruple Shot: Peanut Butter Banana
Imperial Coffee Stout - 11.2% ABV
Pete
​     This is a dessert, dominated by chocolate flavor. There's some banana, and not much peanut butter. The coffee doesn't do enough to balance the sweetness, but it's still a great dessert beer.

Tree House Quadruple Shot: Vanilla Cold Brew
Imperial Coffee Stout - 11.4% ABV

     Damn good beer. Super rich and chocolatey. Vanilla is there too, and it leans towards the sweet side.

Tree House Quadruple Shot Walden Autumn Blend Chocolate Truffle
Imperial Stout - 10.8% ABV
Pete
     Heavy coffee, super rich, and a little boozy. There's some chocolate flavor in it but it actually could use a little more sweetness than it has to really put it over the top. Still, damn good.

Tree House Quadruple Shot Walden Autumn Blend Oreo
Imperial Stout - 10.8% ABV

Tree House Raven
Black IPA - 7% ABV

     Roasty going down with some earthy hops in there. The aftertaste reminds me of Rolling Rock. Needless to say that's not ideal for a beer from Tree House.

Tree House Rustle
Festbier - 5.8% ABV
Pete
     Very drinkable beer with a touch of maltiness. It's not as malty/sweet as most festbiers; it actually has less flavor in general, but that's fine with me.

Tree House Sap
IPA - 7.3% ABV
Pete
     Great IPA. Subtle citrus and a dry piney flavor, maybe a hint of spiciness to it if you really think about it. Not as good as some of their others, but it's still a well above average IPA.

Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's


Picture
Tree House Saturated
Imperial New England IPA - 8.3% ABV
Pete
     Tons of orange and mango flavors. It's pretty sweet due to the additions of syrup and fruit. It's on the edge of too much if you have it by itself, so I'd suggest having it with a salty snack (I chose pretzels), and you'll appreciate this much more. By itself, its rating would be 1 point lower.

Tree House Seven
Imperial New England IPA - 8.6% ABV
Pete
     Incredible. Smells of mango and a little lemon. Taste matches well with some other tropical fruits mixed in. Perfect amount of creaminess. This is basically a fruit smoothie. Currently my favorite IPA from them (out of 25 on 6/13/19), and that's saying something, since Haze, Super Typhoon and Doubleganger are all 7's.

Czech Pilsner - 4.8% ABV

     Solid pils, but a little too bread-y for a Czech style in my opinion.

Tree House Simple Life
Imperial Milk Stout - 9.8% ABV
Pete
     Smells ultra-marshmallow-y. The flavor still has marshmallow there, but dark chocolate takes center stage. I didn't get much graham, but there's a subtle spiciness to it that you could interpret as graham cracker, rounding out the s'mores intention here. Undeniably delicious.

Tree House Single Shot
Milk Stout - 6.4% ABV
Pete
​     Tastes exactly like coffee milk. Pretty sweet, definitely a dessert beer, but the coffee balances it nicely. I guess this could also be a breakfast beer. I had the version w/ vanilla first, and didn't realize how much the vanilla really made this better, but this is obviously still great: it's a stout made by Tree House.

Tree House Snow
Imperial IPA - 7.8% ABV

     Crisp lemony IPA that finishes a touch creamy. Extremely approachable despite the high(ish) alcohol. Dangerous because of that, though chances are you aren't crushing 10 Tree House beers in one night.

Tree House Spring
Imperial New England IPA - 7.9% ABV

     This literally tastes like spring smells. There's some citrus flavor you expect from TH, but it's more in the background to dry floral flavors that are really nice. I could drink a lot of these.

     This is unreal. A syrupy toffee flavor without the sweetness being overwhelming. It's definitely a sipper. Fortunately, it comes in a 12oz bottle.

Imperial New England IPA - 8.1% ABV

Tree House Super Treat w/Peach
Imperial New England IPA - 8.3% ABV

     Super fruity and peachy. It's like drinking peach nectar. The peach definitely overwhelmed the other flavors of this one and made it a bit sweeter than the original. Great for summer.

Tree House Super Typhoon
Imperial IPA - 7.7% ABV

     Perfection. Smell and taste a good amount of passion fruit, then it finishes creamy orange almost like a creamsicle and leaves you with a tiny hint of bitterness to balance it.

Tree House Super Typhoon w/Guava
Imperial New England IPA - 7.7% ABV
Pete
     Pictured on the right. Take a beer that tastes like passion fruit and orange creamsicle and add guava to it - hard to argue that logic. Guava and passion fruit are awesome together. The tiny hint of bitterness is still there, but it takes some time after putting it down for it to come through the guava.

Tree House Super Typhoon w/Peach
Imperial New England IPA - 7.7% ABV
Pete
     Pictured on the left. Tons of peach and a slightly dry bitter finish. The extra peach overwhelms the passion fruit flavor a bit more than I expected, since peach is generally subtle. It basically took it from a perfect beer to an almost perfect beer. Maybe half the amount of peach would have been better.

Tree House Surrealism
Imperial Porter - 7.5% ABV

Tree House Sweet Ride Fluffernutter
Imperial Milk Stout - 11% ABV

     Smells like fluff, like you might expect from the name. The flavor is strongly chocolate and vanilla, with a hint of peanut butter. It's very sweet, but it's so good. Definitely split this with someone as you might be overwhelmed with 16 ounces with the sweetness.

Tree House Sweet Ride Peanut Butter + Hazelnut Coffee
Imperial Milk Stout - 10.5% ABV

Tree House Sweet Ride Raspberry + Vanilla
Imperial Milk Stout - 10.5% ABV

Tree House Tangerine Scream
New England IPA - 6.8% ABV

Tree House Tart: Dragonfruit and Hibiscus
Sour - 4.3% ABV

     Extremely refreshing. Definitely taste the hibiscus, almost making this like an herbal iced tea. It's mildly sour (I always want more of that), but the way it is just screams 'drink me at the pool'. Fortunately, I did that.

Tree House That's What She Said
Milk Stout - 5.6% ABV
Pete
     Pretty sweet stout going down, but a touch of bitterness in the finish balances it well. Relatively easy drinking for a stout. It reminds me of a chocolate milkshake with a little bit of caramel and coffee. Also, the bottom of the can said '"It squeaks when you bang it." - Michael Scott'. It's hard to argue that.

Tree House The King
Stout - 8.2% ABV

Tree House The Universe Is Indifferent
Imperial Milk Stout - 10.8% ABV

Smoked Imperial Porter - 8.2% ABV
Pete
     This is a great beer. It's got a dark roastiness of a robust porter, some spiciness you'd expect from a holiday beer, and a subtle hint of smokiness. I wish it was smokier, but I'm probably in the minority there. Still amazing.

Tree House Tree of Life Blended Batch 2
Barleywine - 11.8% ABV
Pete
​     This is 36% bourbon barrel aged, and 64% fresh. It has a sticky toffee flavor and feel due to its extreme richness. It's pretty similar to the original, so it's great. I was hoping for more bourbon flavors, but the flavors in this are so strong it's hard to notice any additions.

     So so dark. Even the head is darker than normal. Rich but not impossible to drink. Outrageous amounts of dark chocolate and coffee with a tiny bit of sweetness at the end. It's pretty bitter, and the amount of dark chocolate and coffee might be a bit too much honestly, but it's still damn good. I'd recommend splitting the bottle with someone.

Tree House Very Gggreennn
Imperial New England IPA - 8.3% ABV
Pete
     The expectations are going to be outrageously high when TH puts out a variant with extra repeated letters. Usually they're just amped up versions of the originals. In this case, it actually has a noticeable amount of extra creaminess and a slight hint of dank to go along with the freshness of VG. Really really excellent beer. Nitpicking, but the creaminess did become a bit much by the end.

Tree House Very Hazy
Imperial New England IPA - 8.6% ABV

     I had this right after Doubleganger. At the time, that was my favorite IPA in the world. This was significantly better. Smells like ripe peaches and tastes pretty similar with some other citrus in there. It's sweet going down, but finishes dry. I could definitely see this beer quickly losing its flavor if not had very fresh, much like the single version does. The bar has been raised.
