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.

On tap at Trail's End. Pours black, with a small, bubbly, brown head. The aroma is chocolate pudding, maple, a touch of berries, mild coffee, vanilla, and cinnamon. Very sweet and sugary, with a hint of fruity tartness, and no bitterness. Very heavy body, with a thick, creamy, and malty palate. This is a decadent and delicious stout.

16 oz can from tavr. Slick Rich and poor almost black, thin beige head rolls out like syrup. Boozy, chocolatey aroma, definitely some Barrel notes. Taste brings the chocolate up front with some smooth sweetness, kind of like a German chocolate cake. Alcohol not as prominent in The Taste like it is in the aroma, but you can tell it's there. This is a desert beer by all measures.

Taste at Trail's End. They didn't specify which 2019 variant they had, but given the ludicrous purple color and big, pink head, it must be this one. Immense berry aromas, with sharp lime, cloves, and vanilla. Sweet and fruity, with a sharp, brilliant sour flavor. Excellent!

Can from Tavour. Hazy lemon yellow with a hint of oxidative browning and a thin bubbly white head that dissipates quickly. Fruity juicy bready and grassy with a hint of alcohol. Not too bad.

This is grapefruit sculpin, with more grapefruit and stronger. Life happens fast.
