Description
Hey! Welcome to Urban Roots.
We’re here because we love people and beer.
We wanted to make beer and create a space to show that love to the world. Our place has plenty of room for people to hang out and enjoy one another, some super fresh beer and some really tasty food.
Urban Roots started when Rob and Peter decided it was time to open the brewery they’d been dreaming of for a long long time. They wanted a place where they could express their love for the industry they’ve been a part of for so long. With Urban Roots they hope to pay homage to all of the wonderful people they have met on their journey. People that showed them amazing beer and maybe more importantly showed them a good time.

Waxed, capped 375 from Corti Bros. Pours dark brn/blk with a dark tan smear. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, vanilla, bourbon and arguably nuts. More than full bodied. Flavor is very chocolate with vanilla, bourbon and some coffee notes. Nuts are present, but somewhat hidden for me. Heat is present, but not a problem. It is far from dry. Malt finally shows as toasted/burnt and seems to provide a little bitterness. This is clearly dessert.

Capped 750 from Corti Bros. Pours translucent gold with a transient, bubbly white head. Aroma is a rather clean light funk. Clean? Med body. Flavor is lightly funky with fruit and wheat notes. Pretty dry. Funk and bitter running together. Bitterness is moderate. Funk acquires an earth note. Clean and good flavor.

Capped 375 from Corti Bros. Pours dark brown black with a moderate creamy tan head. Aroma of chocolate with a touch of cherry. Full bodied. Flavor is chocolate, vanilla and some cherry - floating over a rather dark but not excessively toasty dark malt. I think there's pistachio - but like a light thing I'm licking from my lips. Fun ale. Heat is barely intrusive.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours clear bright, but not light, gold with a creamy white head that didn't last very long. Aroma of grass/spice and pale fruits. Med body at least. Fairly dry. Moderately bitter or nearly. Flavor is some bready malt with a decent amount of Noble hop and something providing pale stone fruit notes. Good bock.
