About
Oxbow is a small farmhouse brewery located in rural Newcastle, Maine. The brewery is nestled in an enchanted forest amongst rolling farmlands and winding tidal rivers, of which the ebb and flow provide a constant reminder that the coast is near.
The name Oxbow is inspired by the bends in these rivers, the Dyer in particular, which features stunning horseshoe-shaped oxbows where the river covers tremendous ground to travel what could otherwise be a very short linear distance. We employ a similar approach when crafting our beers, taking months or years to create a beverage that is commonly produced in a matter of days.

York River Landing draught, 11/24/23. Dark. Probably clear. Dark beige head to ring. Belgian esters and phenols with good acidity and good malt. Raisin, prune, treacle. No booze, but a bit timid. Spice, nutty rye, licorice, vanilla, like Gatherwell, it's very dry and thin from high attenuation and not being an actual imperial stout. Lingering licorice, pepper, bourbon spice. Stop calling Belgian strong ales imperial stouts, please.

Canned 10/18/23, drunk 11/23/23. Clear, dark. Lighter tan head steadily to spotty cover. Big mineral, chocolate, light caramel and a hint of roast. Clean, not heavy on the specialty malt. Soft, malty clean, light roast. Good attenuation and base malt, mixing with the tastefully done dark malt to give a caramel and light smoke/char. Big flavors for 4.5%.

On tap at Churchkey. Pours a deep brown with an earthy brown head that lasts throughout the beer and laces. Aroma has light roast and Belgian yeast with a touch of date and dark grains backing. Flavor has slightly chalky dark grains and dates with a hint of roast and Belgian yeast supporting.

Frothy, dull pale gold @The Grand Delancy. Dusty, raw wheat, steel, mellow pepper. Minerally, chalky, starchy, some acidity, black pepper, chewy crust, itchy bitterness. Meh to okay. First dud I've had from them.
