Description
In 2015, Hubbard’s Cave was developed as an alternative to our Belgian Style Ales. Producing American Style ales, primarily imperial stouts and Hubbard’s Cave signature Fresh IIPAs, Hubbard’s Cave is a refreshing addition to the Une Anneé Family. Named after the Chicago Hubbard Street traffic tunnel on Interstate 90/94, next to where the brewery was born, Hubbard’s Cave has quickly grown to produce some of our most popular offerings.

Can shared at Brewver Belgian Winter Gathering. Opaque dark brown color, average sized light brown colored head. Aroma is malts, hazelnut, light tonka notes. Flavor is malts, huge hazelnut, again tonka (or maybe pecan?) notes, harsh coffee, alcoholic finish. Hmm not a big fan, over the top imo. 8-6,5-6-6-6
