100 fm the pike. Sonic Beer Blog #36: Timberyard Brewing Co. Wolftree Stout. This stout from East Brookfield's Timberyard Brewing Company poured a deep, ebony with a thick tan head and was wicked dark. The first whiff was smokey and sweet with dark chocolate. It had a great balance of roasted malt, hints of chocolate and coffee which gave it a sweet smoothness. There is a little bitterness that adds to the mix by creating a great contrast.The mouth feel seemed a little thin but the layers of flavor kept it intertesting. The finish had a sweet malty bitterness with more chocolate. It was the overall smoothness that made this a real pleasure to drink. The Sonic Pairing: Smooth, smokey and sweet lead me to the live document from Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood, "Live From Madison Square Garden". These former Blind Faith band mates pull from both of their extensive catalogs with nuggets from their various musical projects. The sweetness of Derek And The Dominos(Clapton) "Tell The Truth" to the smokiness of the Traffic instrumental "Glad"(Winwood) to the smoothness of the solo Clapton hit "Forever Man" and Winwood's "Split Decision" make this a well balanced brew that flows like a delicious stout pouring into a glass.

100 fm the pike. Sonic Beer Blog #35: Bissell Brothers Precept German-Style Pilsner. Once again Bissell Brothers have taken a traditional style of beer and put their own twist on it. From the moment the golden elixir graced my glass, I knew I was in for a treat. The lively effervescence produced a frothy head and the first whiff was that of lemon and grain.Taking my first sip, I was immediately struck by the crisp and clean pilsner profile with a malt foundation and a subtle sweetness that swirled with a floral essence. This was perfectly balanced with a hop bitterness, and bready notes. The lemon was also present but not overpowering. The mouthfeel was light and the crispness made it extra refreshing. If you are not a fan of the omnipresent holiday spiced beers this time of year or burned out on the myriad of IPA's available this is a refreshing break! The Sonic Pairing: Crisp with floral notes immediately made me think of Smashing Pumpkins 1993 release, "Siamese Dream". This was the album that launched them into the stratosphere with hits like "Cherub Rock", "Disarm" and "Today". There are layers of crisp distorted guitars that form a wall of sound that oozes points of melody with Billy Corgan's vocals swirling anger and vulnerability throughout. From the anthemic build of "Soma" to the tender sweetness of "Spaceboy" all of the emotions are wrung out of a soul who's heart has been broken and is looking for solace anywhere they can find it.

100 FM The Pike. Sonic Beer Blog #34: Bay State Brewing Co. Blood Orange Lager. While Bay State Brewing calls this a Blood Orange Lager it actually has a full spectrum of citrus punch. The pour into Das Boot revealed a pink grapefruit color with a thick pink head and aromas of not just the sweet blood orange but also tangerine, mandarin and grapefruit rind. First sip brings the sweetness again of blood orange and grapefruit with cardamom. It has a crisp feel and is easily crushable. I was enjoying mine with a pile of Graveyard Wings from The District Wood Fired Kitchen and it was perfect for cutting through the spicy greasiness. The finish had more citrus and an almost creamscicle taste. This is a thirst quenching brew with a cornucopia of citrus flavors that makes it an easy drinking delight! The Sonic Pairing: The citrusy punch and swirl of flavors are a perfect a accompaniment for The Cult's Sonic Temple. An album that definitely has a complex layering of sounds from Billy Duffy's guitar that revolve around the big beats of drummer Mickey Curry. This makes a great canvas for singer Ian Astbury's wail and howl on songs like the hit "Fire Woman" and "Automatic Blues". There are also sweet moments like "Edie(Ciao baby)" with an undulant string section and gigantic guitar licks. It's balls out rock with a zesty kick.

100 fm the pike. Sonic Beer Blog #33: Foam Brewers #1 Hit Jam Imperial Fruited Sour Ale. This very berry sour from Vermont's Foam Brewers is smooth and fruity but beware, it does pack a (fruit)punch. I'm a huge fan of all berries and this ale does not disappoint in that department. A heavy whiff of earthy raspberry and blackberry with a light floral swirl on the pour. It had a beautiful light plum color with a healthy pink foam that dissipated quickly. The first sip was all the berries they say it is; blackberry, raspberry and black currant. More tart than sour and a bit of grain. It was on the finish that the 10% ABV slapped the back of my head! Very boozy on the finish with a sour bite and more raspberry. This is the only problem I have with this one: It's too delicious and has a great mouthfeel which makes it hard not to crush. At 10%, this could get you into trouble. Take it slow and savor this bacciferous(yes, that's a word) liquid. The Sonic Pairing: A great example of smooth and sweet with a sneaky punch is The Posies 1993 power pop gem, Frosting On The Beater. At that time the trend was down-tuned and dark. But The Posies released a radiant and candied set of songs crafted with caramel, nougat and nuts with a real distorted crunch. After the intro tracks "Dream All Day" and "Solar Sister" you can't help but finish the whole cherry cobbler of an album. After "Flavor Of The Month" and "Definite Door" you'll be hearing Wilford Brimley yelling "DIABEETUS" along with the sweet crisp hooks.
