Trinity Brewhouse, situated in Providence, Rhode Island has a sign on the side of their place that reads “The best beer is here”. I found out that they were not lying at all!

I had their Redrum, an Imperial Red that weighed in at a wopping 10%! This puppy was big, bold and BOLD! It had a nice hoppy aroma with a great, full bodied malt flavor. It hid the ABV well and after a few of these, you needed to have assistance on leaving the brewhouse.

You can see in the background there, what looks like a wood tank is actually their copper and stainless kettle. It used to be a very nice, shiny copper color until they hired a new company to clean them. They used the wrong chemical on them and scratched them up with the steel wool they were using and completely ruined them. Even I know all you need to use is a citrus  cleaner or even a lemon or orange will work! Nubs! Well I hope they got their money out of them but I have a feeling they didn’t, considering they are still in this condition.

I moved past the Redrum and into their Imperial Brown, which again was a 10% brew! At this point I was ready to move in and setup camp right at the brewhouse.

This was a smooth brown ale that hid its 10% secret very well. I was thoroughly impressed. I also had a chance to have their Baltic Porter but it was a blast of black licorice and didn’t seem to style at all. I also sampled the Belgian style Saison and it was very plain with a wet bandage smell to it.  Maybe others like these two but I’ll stick to the Redrum and their Imperial Brown next time I am in town!
