Anderson Valley Gatlin Damnosus at the Independent Bar Tampa

A sour ale produced by aging barleywine in bourbon barrels for extended periods of time (as long as 2 years in some cases!) Gatlin Damnosus aroma is reminiscent of earthy red wines with a background of caramel and honey, with just a hint of wood and sourness. The flavor is intensely sour with a touch of acetic acid and notes of brown malt toast and ripe red fruit. The bourbon character really adds a savory, woody component that yields subtle notes of coconut and vanilla.

Oskar Blues Deviant Dales IPA at the Independent Bar Tampa

As the name implies the 8% ABV Pale Ale Deviant Dale's isn't a subtle beer. But it's a very good beer. 

From Oskar Blues:

"Deviant Dale’s IPA (8% ABV, 85 IBUs) was born at the crossroads, in a juke joint, as if Dale’s Pale Ale sold its soul to balance Deviant’s foreboding aromas of citrus, grapefruit rind and piney resins with a copper ball-of-fire color and inscrutable finish. The 2011 GABF Silver Medal Winner (American IPA Category) is the Devil incarnate with untold amounts of malt and hedonistic Columbus dry-hopping. Oskar Blues’ southern spirit caught a northbound blues bus to ColoRADo to deliver the boundary bustin’ brewery’s first 16 oz. tallboy can."

Cigar City Humidor Jai Alai IPA at the Independent Bar Tampa

Each beer in the Humidor Series is aged on Spanish cedar (cedrela), the same wood used to make cigar boxes. The Spanish cedar imparts notes of white pepper, sandalwood and other spices. 

From Cigar City: "Our flagship beer in the Humidor Series is Humidor Series India Pale Ale. We start with Jai Alai IPA as a base beer and add the cedar during secondary fermentation. The cedar provides a perfect balance with the assertive hops of Jai Alai to create an entirely new experience."

ABV 7.5%
