Is this a dark bourbon aged in a stout barrel? No, it's the other way around. Big whiskey vapors waft from the glass, backed by nuances of blueberry, blackberry, roasted malts, light espresso, dark cherries, vanilla and allspice. Don't even try to see through this black, opaque ale that's topped... Read More

Welcome as a cup of sweet coffee and cream by a campfire, this jetblack brew throws aromas of espresso, heavy cream, sweet chocolate, roasted malts and a hint of smoke. Soft esters and hops are deep in the background, and the beer pours with a creamy, tan head that produces impressive lacing. On... Read More

This is a thick, luxurious, opaque, deep black stout with a moderately dark head. Mild fruity esters of cherries and blackberries mingle with the dominant fragrances of roasted malt and brown sugar, while rich, sweet flavors of dark malts, creamy espresso and milk chocolate follow up on the...

Pouring with an orange/red hue and slight cloudiness, this potent IPA offers a moderate head that dissipates rather quickly. Earthy aromas and flavors of pine resin, grapefruit, pineapple, apricot and melon mingle with heady crystal malt and toffee character, giving way to a finish that offers a... Read More
