Village Idiot Oud Dublin
Tap at VI, served on nitro. Black pour with a dense beige head and good lace. Beautiful roast and astringent chocolate nose, similar in the mouth with light sourness and bitterness, low sweetness, some red fruit, light-medium body very slightly flabby but very repeatable. [2019.10.12: 3.6] A little running tradition of adding a shot of coffee/chocolate-flavored syrup (not rated on this site) might be an interesting little change-up for those of you with a sweet tooth.

Village Idiot Monkey's Breath Banana Bread Ale
Tap at VI. Medium-brown, hazy but not quite opaque, great and dense bright white head, glass rimmed with cinnamon-sugar. Healthy banana, chocolate, beautiful Dunkelweizen-like malt with plenty of banana esters and some chocolate and bubblegum. Medium body, smooth and half-crisp, really good! I’m not normally a sweet tooth but wow! [2019.10.12: 4.3]

Tap at VI. Hazy yellow golden with a bright white head and great lace. Classic HW, medium-sweet but accumulating, no bitterness or tang, beautifully subtle citrus bonus, vanilla, lemon, not grainy, not phenolic, medium banana, pretty textbook all around! I was told this was accidentally dry-hopped after a tank mix-up; wouldn’t have guessed that otherwise, but the product is really good. [2019.10.12: 3.9]

Pours amber red in color, ok, enough about beer, let's talk about evolution, although traditionally it's a slow process, during times times of rapid change, such as the Cambrian period, it can occur quite rapidly, aroma of mild malts, light taste upfront, with a bite at the end, tap at brewery.

Village Idiot Monkey's Breath Banana Bread Ale
They try to cover up how honestly good the beer is by rimming the glass with sugar and cinnamon. I smell only apple crisp and Thanksgiving pie, but the rim job probably screwed up the real smell. Nice deep brown orange appearance. Taste is banana, yeasts, bread, and because of the cinnamon rim.... cinnamon. Tap at brewery
