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, 0.473 l, thanks VastActiv, 20190215) The beer poured dirty orange and cloudy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had ripe banana, fruitiness and pine. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, ripe fruits, sweetness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A pleasant hoppy brew with the notes of ripe fruits.

Draught @ Beat Brew Hall, Cambridge, MA. Heavy, sticky and syrupy with loads of maple syrup, cinnamon, some roastiness, oak, vanilla and coffee. Quite over the top pastry stout.

Pepper af. In both ways. Dry, hint of smokey peppers, hint of habanero sweetness. Not sure which batch they poured at GABF but this one seems ultra dry. Love the spice though. Chocolatey cinnamony chili beer, vanilla all over the nose.

16 oz can from Tavour. Pale yellow pour with thin, spotty head. Aroma is citrus, grapefruits, lemons, pineapple. Taste brings light citrus, big hops and finishes with a burn. Seems light at first, but the bitterness sticks around, accompanied by the smoldering heat. Give it a minute to wake your palate .

The Aromas are strong old coffee, black patent with a little dark malt and molasses. Having this one fresh out of the refrigerator so it's a little too cold to treat it correctly but it's definitely on the sweet side low bitterness with touch soft carbonation but very balanced and drinkable with good coffee flavor match nicely with the other qualities. Nice body with perhaps just a hint of alcohol at the end of the Finish. Good stuff.
