An Outing to The Old Toad

Rochester has a wonderful British pub called The Old Toad. It has cask ales, an impressive list of beers from around the world (namely the UK) and a regularly rotating draft line of about 15 different beers. Last night they had a special event with Custom Brewcrafters, who brought two different beers that they brew for Genesee Country Village & Museum: 1803 Fat Ox Ale and Intrepid Ale. In light of the event, a group of friends and I decided to take in some of Britain in Rochester and some great beer too.
The Old Toad website is here, they regularly update what they have on draft and it's a place worth checking out! They even have darts for free. Where else can you play darts for free?
Custom Brewcrafters, from Honeyoye Falls, NY, has their website here. They run an awesome operation, contract brewing for a ton of places all over western NY as well as producing their own brews.

Here's what I tried, one from the cask and the others on draft:
(1) Custom Brewcrafters Genesee Country Village & Museum 1803 Fat Ox Ale (American Brown Ale) - this is a beer produced from an American colonial recipe/notes from the 1800s. It has serious molasses notes with some alcohol too, really robust and smoky with pork/bacon flavors. I only tried a sample of this and not a whole glass. 5% ABV. More about this and the below brew here.
(2) Custom Brewcrafters Genesee Country Village & Museum Intrepid Ale (American Pale Wheat Ale) - This uses a ton of lemon and fresh ginger and has a great citrus and ginger spice. There is a definite wheat and lemon zest without much aroma. 4% ABV.
(3) Abita Coffee Dog - This I had from the cask, and apparently Abita put coffee beans in the cask and let it soak in the flavor. It has a burnt coffee aroma, smooth creamy and somewhat light in the mouth, but dark like coffee, some vanilla, black in color and sort of grainy in the mouth too like there is some coffee residue or grounds or something. I really enjoyed it, but I guess you can only drink iced coffee so long, so it isn't super drinkable but it was delicious. 5.6% ABV Not listed on their website.
(4) Ellicotville Brewing Catt County Cuvee (Strong Blonde Ale) - This is aged in American oak for 6 (their website says 3) months, which adds beautiful candied, banana and vanilla flavors. It is on the sweet side and has a honey aroma, wood, full bodied, malty with notes of coconut like creaminess and spicy finish. 8.5% ABV. More on this page.

Brew of the night: Intrepid Ale, for a summer evening and refreshing drink I'd turn to this anytime, the Coffee Dog is more of a wake up beer and Catt County Cuvee is more of a sipper.
