Aroma Thyme Beer menu, May 2010


Welcome to our beer menu at Aroma Thyme Bistro. You will find full pages selection of Dogfish Head, Ommegang, Unibroue and Stone plus over 100 other beer selections. We also offer rotating taps, click here for our current taps.

Located in Milton, Delaware, the Dogfish Head Brewery was founded in 1995 by Sam Calagione. The brewery’s “extreme” beers have quickly become a favorite of Aroma Thyme Bistro’s owner/chef Marcus Guiliano.
Dogfish Head's signature product is its line of India Pale Ales (IPAs), which are offered in three varieties: 60 Minute, 90 Minute, and 120 Minute IPA. Their names refer to the length of the boil time of the wort in which the hops are continuously added. The longer hops are boiled, the more bitterness is imparted to the beer.


(6) Dogfish Head Raison D’Etre 12 oz. 8 8 ABV
A deep, mahogany ale brewed with beet sugar, green raisins, and Belgian-style yeast. As complex as a fine, red wine.

(1100) Dogfish Head Raison D’Extre 12 oz. 18 18 ABV
A bigger, bolder version of our Raison D'Etre.
This is a bulbous, brown ale brewed with a bunch of malt, brown sugar and raisins.

(6) Dogfish Head 60 Minute 12 oz. 5 6 ABV
60 Minute IPA is continuously hopped - more than 60 hop additions over a 60 minute boil (getting a vibe yet of where the name came from?). 60 Minute is a session India Pale Ale brewed with a slew of great NorthWest hops. A powerful, but balanced East Coast I.P.A. with a lot of citrusy hop character.

(6) Dogfish Head 90 Minute 12 oz. 7 9 ABV
Esquire Magazine calls our 90 Minute IPA., "perhaps the best I.P.A. in America." An Imperial I.P.A. brewed to be savored from a snifter. A big beer with a great malt backbone that stands up to the extreme hopping rate.

(5) Dogfish Head 120 Minute 12 oz. 18 18 ABV
Too extreme to be called beer? Brewed to a colossal 45-degree plato, boiled for a full 2 hours while being continuously hopped with high-alpha American hops, then dry-hopped daily in the fermenter for a month & aged for another month on whole-leaf hops!!

(1100) Dogfish Head Olde School Barley Wine 12 oz. 9 15 ABV
Bold, yet smooth! Fermented with dates and figs, this bone-crusher has a completely unique flavor.

(1100) Dogfish Head Immort Ale 12 oz. 7 11 ABV
Vast in character, luscious & complex. Brewed with peat-smoked barley, Immort is brewed with organic juniper berries, vanilla & maple syrup. It's aged on oak and fermented with a blend of English & Belgian yeasts.

(1100) Dogfish Head Burton Baton Ale 12 oz. 7 10 ABV
A blend of oak-aged English strong ale and our 90 Minute I.P.A.. Citrus notes from Northwestern hops meld with vanilla notes from the oak.

(5) Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale 12 oz. 6 7.2 ABV
Indian Brown Ale is well-hopped and malty at the same time.

(1100) Dogfish Head Red and White 25.4 oz. 25 10 ABV
A big, belgian-style Wit brewed with coriander and orange peel and fermented with Pinot Noir juice. After fermentation a fraction of the batch is aged in Oregon Pinot Noir barrels, and another fraction is aged on oak staves. The beer is blended together before packaging.

(1100) Dogfish Head Pangea 25.4 oz. 25 7 ABV
Brewed with ingredients from every continent (crystallized ginger from Australia, water from Antarctica, basmati rice from Asia, etc...), this is slightly spicy ale, with a mouthful of rich flavors

(5) Dogfish Head World Wide Stout 12 oz. 18 18 ABV
This is the beer you've heard so much about. Dark, rich, roasty and complex, World Wide Stout has more in common with a fine port than a can of cheap, mass-marketed beer. Brewed with a ridiculous amount of barley. Have one with (or as!) dessert tonight!

(5) Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron 12 oz. 8 12 ABV
An unfiltered, unfettered, unprecedented brown ale aged in handmade wooden brewing vessels. The caramel and vanilla complexity unique to this beer comes from the exotic Paraguayan Palo Santo wood from which these tanks were crafted.

(5) Dogfish Head Chateau Jiahu 25.4 oz. 25 8 ABV
Preserved pottery jars found in the Neolithic villiage of Jiahu, in Henan province,Northern China, has revealed that a mixed fermented beverage of rice, honey and fruit was being produced that long ago - right around the same time that barley beer and grape wine were beinginning tobe made in the Middle East!

(1100) Dogfish Head Theobrama 25.4 oz. 25 9 ABV
This beer is based on chemical analysis of pottery fragments found in Honduras which revealed the earliest known alcoholic chocolate drink used by early civilizations to toast special occasions. The discovery of this beverage pushed back the earliest use of cocoa for human consumption more than 500 years to 1200 BC. As per the analysis, Dogfish Head’s Theobroma (translated into 'food of the gods') is brewed with Aztec cocoa powder and cocoa nibs, honey, chilies, and annatto (fragrant tree seeds). It's light in color - not what you expect with your typical chocolate beer. Not that you'd be surpised that we'd do something unexpected with this beer!




The Ales of Brewery Ommegang, Cooperstown New York.
Welcome to the Ales of Brewery Ommegang, where the beer isn't overhopped or overhyped. These Belgian-style ales are functional art, crafted to make your dining and drinking experience something to behold.

(700) Ommegang Hennepin Saison 25.4 oz. 16
Bright and lively in your mouth with a warming mix of spicy gingersnap and citrusy hops.

(1100) Ommegang Belgium Style Pale 25.4 oz. 16

(800) Ommegang Abbey Ale 25.4 oz. 16
(WC) Ommegang Abbey Ale 3 liters 65
Honey, toffee, chocolate and dark dried fruit delight your senses

(1) Ommegang Rare Vos 12 oz. 6
Amber ale of medium color and strength. It sports aromas and flavors of caramel, orange, hops, plus an elusive fruity-yeasty flavor

(1) Ommegang Three Philosophers 2008 12 oz. 6
(900) Ommegang Three Philosophers 2005 25.4 oz. 32
(900) Ommegang Three Philosophers 2007 25.4 oz. 27
Luscious blend of rich malty ale and cherry lambic so delightful. It might be the flavor of dark chocolate and cherry cordials; it could be the way it acquires wisdom and grace in the cellar.

(700) Ommegang Biere De Mars 25.4 oz. 24
Ommegang Bière de Mars is a Belgian-style amber ale with a bit of magical space dust woven in - Brettanomyces bruxellensis, a wild-yeast used in the secondary fermentation. The Brett imparts added tartness, a bit of zing and some farmhouse funkiness. Also dry-hopped, this new ale continues our exploration of using Brett for secondary fermentation in limited-release beers.

(700) Ommegang Ommegeddon 25.4 oz. 24
Strong blonde ale with a sharp citrus flavor that, like the other Ommegang ales, has a dry finish.

(700) Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence 25.4 oz. 20
Belgian dark chocolate gliding across the tongue; starting sweet up front but giving way to rich cocoa flavors at the back. Through it all, a subtle fruitiness from our special Belgian yeast gives the beer brightness

CAVE AGED Ommegang Abbey Ale 25.4 oz. 39
CAVE AGED Ommegang Hennepin Saison 25.4 oz. 39
On a freezing day each mid-winter, 280 cases of Ommegang ale are transported forty five minutes east of Cooperstown to the heart of "cave country." The beer is lowered 156 feet into the celebrated Howe Caverns. This is the only cave-aging of beer on American soil in recent memory. Forty meters below ground, at a constant temperature of 52 degrees F.
Cave-aging (and cellar-aging) were traditional aging methods before modern refrigeration, and today are still used in the Champagne region of France. Remarkably, similar conditions are at hand in Schoharie County in New York. In the section of the Allegheny Plateau north of Cobleskill, which is capped by early to middle Devonian Helderberg and Onondaga limestones, conditions are ideal for cave formation. The most celebrated of these formations is Howe Caverns.


(1100) Stone Ruination 12 oz. 6 7.7 ABV
So called because of the immediate ruinous effect on your palate. 100+ IBUs. Bracingly bitter. Thick, pungent hop aroma. We would say that no hops were injured in the brewing of this beer, but that would be a massive lie. In fact, the words "Stone Ruination IPA" are what older hop vines use to cause little hop vines to quiver with fright and lose sleep at night . We at Stone honor the brutal massacre of countless hops with this "Liquid poem to the glory of the hop!" Paganism at its best!

(6) Stone Smoked Porter 22 oz. 8 5.9 ABV
A rich, dark and delicious porter with chocolate and coffee overtones accented by a subtle smokiness from just the right amount of peat smoked malt. Unlike a rauchbier, the "smoke" in Stone Smoked Porter is an ELEMENT of the character rather than being THE character. -- Greg Koch, Stone Brewing Co.

(1100) Stone Arrogant Bastard 22 oz. 18
This is an aggressive beer. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth.

(6) Stone Old Guardian 22 oz. 5
A beautiful bold barley wine. Massive malt and hop notes. Silver Medal winner at the 2000 Great American Beer Festival in the Barley Wine category. Gold Medal winner at the 2002 World Beer Championships in the Barley Wine Category. Look for it in the first quarter of each new year. Can be cellared or enjoyed upon its release.

(6) Stone Imperial Russian Stout 22 oz. 7
"There's no question that Stone Imperial Stout is revered among enthusiasts," states Stone CEO Greg Koch. "I know, because I'm one of 'em and I can hardly wait for it to come out each year!" Some may think that a late Spring release for a special brew of this sort is an odd time for it to come out onto the market. Koch justifies this with the rationalization "What better than a warm time of year to come out with a brew that tastes great as it warms up!" That's because "ice cold" is certainly not the appropriate way to serve the beer. Nearly without exception, the darker, richer and more alcoholic a brew is, the warmer the serving temperature should be. The Stone Imperial Stout label describes the brew as being "intensely aromatic (notes of anise, black currants, coffee, roastiness and alcohol) and heavy on the palate...expect this mysterious brew to pour like used motor oil and taste even heavier! Serve at 55 degrees."

(5) Stone Cali-Belgique 22 oz. 18
When reading the name “Stone Cali-Belgique IPA”, “Cali” hints that it is a California style IPA, and this brew has an undeniable Belgian influence, indicated by the word “Belgique” (which is how Belgium’s French-speaking population says the word “Belgian”; the Dutch speaking Belgians say “Belgie”). We carefully selected a Belgian yeast strain that illuminates a fascinating new aspect of the beer that is otherwise quite simply Stone IPA.

(1100) Stone Vertical Epic 2007 22 oz. 9
In this year's edition we took our inspiration from two Belgian styles: Saisons and Golden Triples. As such, the Stone 07.07.07 Vertical Epic has a deep, deep golden hue and the flavor is spicy, fruity, complex and refreshing. We used four different malts, and a subtle, yet distinct, blend of Glacier and Crystal hops to get just the right balance. Then, for the complexity, we added in some exotic spices --- including ginger, cardamom, grapefruit peel, lemon peel and orange peel (the latter three acknowledging our Southern California home) --- and a special Belgian yeast strain. All in all this is yet another case of us drawing from classic Belgian influences and cavalierly making it our own...San Diego style!

(1) Stone Vertical Epic 2009 22 oz. 6
This is quite a complex and layered beer. Bold and smooth chocolate malt flavors combine with a Belgian yeast lending tropical fruit/banana flavors and hints of spiciness, all complemented by citrus notes from an addition of tangerine peel. Rich vanilla beans add a nice counter to the chocolate malt - actually enhancing the chocolatiness. The finish is smooth, with additional traces of vanilla and toasted characters from French Oak. The goal for this edition of the Stone Vertical Epic Ale series is to be reminiscent of artisanal chocolates accentuated with orange.

The brewing methods used by Unibroue, Canada, have been inspired by the great European brewing traditions and, in this respect, are one of a kind in North America. The methods used stand out, in particular, from the brewing methods of the mass-producing breweries and even from the other North American craft brewers because the beer is refermented in bottles and partly-clarified only. Through these methods, specialty beers with an evolutive taste and a long shelf life are produced. The manufacturing of the beer at Unibroue is done in five phases: brewing, fermentation, clarification, bottling and kegging and, finally, refermentation in bottles in the holding room.
(500) Unibroue Blanc de Chambly 25.4 oz. 19
(blahsnh-deh-shahm-blee) White Ale 5% ABV
Blanche de Chambly has an alluring pale golden color, effervescent foam and a subtle bouquet of spice and citrus notes. It is a mildly malty, sightly sweet and refreshingly thirst-quenching.

(500) Unibroue Maudite Dark Ale 25.4 oz. 18
(moe-dzit) Strong amber-red ale 8% ABV
Maudite has a deep amber-red color with a rocky foam head and an appealing aroma of wild spices and floral hop notes. It is spicy, vinous, and deliciously complex with a crisp hop finish.

(700) Unibroue La Fin du Monde Triple 25.4 oz. 18
(la-faeh-doo-mohnd)Strong triple-style 9% ABV
La Fin du Monde has a brilliant golden color with vigorously effervescent foam. It is midly yeasty with a complex palate of malt, fruit and spice notes followed by a smooth, dry finish.

(1000) Unibroue Trois Pistoles Strong Dark Ale 25.4 oz. 18
(trwa-pee-stole) Strong dark ale 9% ABV
Trois Pistoles has a dark brown color topped with a rich foam mousse. Its slightly sweet taste is enhanced by accents of roasted malt, cocoa, ripe fruit and dark spices with a smooth finish like an old port.

(700) Unibroue Don de Dieu 25.4 oz. 18
(dohn-deh-dyeuh) Triple wheat ale 9% ABV
Don de Dieu displays an appealing orange-golden hue with a stable, creamy head of foam. Its fruity, malty and yeasty flavor is quickly succeeded by a palate-warming finish of roasted nuts and spices.

(1000) Unibroue Ephemere (brewed with apple) 25.4 oz. 18
(eff-eh-mehr) White ale 5.5% ABV
Éphémère apple has an alluring pale golden color, effervescent foam, and a mouth-watering bouquet of Granny Smith apples and spices. It is slightly sweet, slightly tart and refreshingly thirst-quenching.

(1000) Unibroue Seigneuriale Strong Pale Ale 25.4 oz. 18
(seen-yur-ree-al) Strong amber ale 7.5% ABV
Seigneuriale has an opaque amber color and spirited effervescence. Its floral, spicy and yeasty bouquet reveals a complex flavor of citrus, malt and ripe fruit undertones with a dry, hoppy finale.

(700) Unibroue Chambly Noire 25.4 oz. 18
(Shahm-blee-nwar) Black ale 6.2% ABV
Chambly Noire has an opaque black color with beige-colored foam. Its roasted malt character is complemented by spicy, mildly smoky notes and a surprisingly clean, dry finish.

Sour ALEs
Sour Ales have a strong fruit flavor similar to the aroma, but more intense. Plum, prune, raisin and black cherry are the most common flavors, followed by orange and some spiciness. Sour Ales have an obvious sour or acidic taste, but this characteristic can range from moderate to strong. There is no hop bitterness, but tannins are common. Subsequently, Sour Ales are often described as the most "wine-like" of all beers. Sours are an acquired taste.
