The Saint Louis Brewery Schlafly Saison (85)

“While most saisons are made with one yeast strain, ours distinctly features two, which impart varying spicy notes. Balanced with a malt backbone, this beer is easy-drinking with a crisp, dry finish.”

Schlafly Beer/The Saint Louis Brewery Coffee Stout (85)

“A classic combination of a traditional stout and premium French roast coffee from St. Louis roaster, Kaldi’s Coffee. Roasted barley and coffee dominate the aroma, with the sweetness from the stout balancing the acidity of the coffee.”

Schlafly Beer/The Saint Louis Brewery, LLC Oatmeal Stout (85)

"This classic, British-style stout is dark, smooth and slightly sweet, with just enough bitterness and hops to balance out the richness of the roasted malt’s nutty character and the creaminess of the oatmeal flakes. Freshly roasted coffee beans, cocoa and touches of raisin and dried fruit dominate the aroma of this super dark ale."

Schlafly Beer Farmhouse IPA (90)

“The focus of this beer is twofold: the farmhouse ale characteristics imparted by the French saison yeast and the IPA hops profile founded in Mosaic’s characteristics and complemented by Centennial.”

"Pounds of experimental hops and pineapple refract off one another to create a juicy, golden brew."
