Hazelnut and milk chocolate are the star players in this dark beer. Sip this slowly while you sit by the fire and watch the rain out the window.

The citrusy flavor is quite faint, as it rates 77 IBUs on the bitterness scale. Order a warm pretzel to even out the hoppiness.

Boundary has long been one of Washington’s staple breweries, and their beers can be found in bars throughout the state. At 6.4%, the full-bodied Scotch Ale does not disappoint.

10. Hellbent‘s Funky Red Patina


Just like the late 80s hip hop song, this ale is the secret to having a good night. Order a few and see what happens.
