Description
Odd Side Ales is a family of gifted individuals, focused on the shared goal of crafting unique products, while maintaining the utmost quality.

Our story began in 2010, as a micro-brewery producing craft beer from our pub located inside the historic piano factory in Grand Haven, Michigan. We quickly outgrew the pub’s brewing capacity and now, after three different expansions, brew from our own 44,000 sq. ft. facility.

Our main focus is to creatively stay on the leading edge of craft beer styling. While maintaining a large core of year round and seasonal favorites, we strive to introduce new recipes that push the boundaries of flavor combinations and craft beer categories. Everyone at Odd Side Ales is here because they have a true love of craft beer, the industry as a whole, and the people who drink and enjoy what we are able to do each day!

Beyond Michigan, we now distribute to Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. We hope to continue our growth, expanding our reach even further, and share our craft as far as possible!

The label describes it as a “beer refresher” which is an apt description. No hoppiness. No tartness or sweetness from the berry, likely due to the basil.

Pours a black, with medium small, tanned, fairly stable head. Scent is very roasty, age starts to show, midlly. Taste is still pretty bright and full, rye comes forth real good, maple follows (never really high, but most certainly recongizable) . bacon isn't noticable (neither was it fresh, to me) . A great roasty, chocolaty, coffee backbone lifts this up to more than just good additives. Never really thick, the way modern pasties sometimes are, but certainly fullbodied. Lower carbo. a good amount of alcohol warmth in the finish. Lovely, lovely beer. Sadly this was my last bottle, which I kept around for when I felt like rating it. It's not off yet, but scent certainly took a hit - if you have any left, now will be the time....

Can. Pour is a deep brown (thick looking for a beer with 7% ABV written on the can) and a dense tan head that dies back slowly to leave some lovely lacing on the sides of the glass. Aromas are a punch to the face of coffee grounds, charcoal, and a touch of vanilla and chocolate. Flavor is lovely... chocolate and coffee. Mouthfeel is a bit thin for my likes, but I like a big and bruising imperial stout, so maybe I'm hoping for too much here. It's a good beer... well balanced and executed. I just want to try its big brother version.
