Judging by the lively Sunday afternoon crowd, we found a place in Aurora that's well-established and known to locals. These guys obviously know what they are doing. They had a large selection including seasonals such as 3 Wee Heavy (sweet and with a barley wine flavor), Enterprise IPA, just plain delicious, and HMS Bounty, more of an English old style dark. Loved the Victory Amber as well. This place is really fun, a great place to hang out with friends.--Bob We had known about Dry Dock for awhile and had tried their very seductive Apricot Blonde, with it's lovely fruit aftertaste. They had so many great picks, it was hard to settle on just 6 beers for a sampler, so we focused on the sure winners. HMS Victory Amber, which was soft with a honey overtone, a slight crisp touch of hops, and an indefinable essence of something herbal at the end. A gold medal winner, and deservedly so. Their U-Boat hefenweisen has a bright, refreshing note of marshmallow that sets it apart from other wheat beers. It's a marvel. The Black Saison is a seamless, complex, melding of malts, caramel, and spice - and is my favorite among Dry Dock's great offerings. Our friends Maury and Mary who accompanied us are regulars, and big fans of the Breakwater Pale Ale.-Rose
