Sierra Nevada Glissade Golden bock Spring
As winter begins its slide toward the sunny days of spring, we bring you Glissade Golden Bock to help you enjoy the ride. Glissade is a remarkably mellow take on the traditional spring bock. With restrained sweetness, we emphasize subtle malt flavor, balanced against delicate aromas of spicy and floral European hops. This complex balance helps Glissade slide across the palate—bracing us against the last cold nights of winter, while its bright golden color turns our thoughts toward spring.
North Coast Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout
A rich, intense brew with a robust palate, a fruity nose and a warming finish. Very complex. This is a very dark brown/black, opaque beer. Dense, foamy 3-fingered tan head with good retention and all sorts of neat lacing on the glass. In a word, the aroma is strong. The most dominant thing on the notes are roasted chocolate malts ...and it's got a ton of them. Under that is a pretty potent coffee note, some fruity smells, and a bit of molasses.
Its rich, dark chocolate malt taste immediately hits you. Lots of coffee and a bit of milky sweetness in there too. The fruits that were present in the aroma are also present here to a lesser degree. Hops were much more present on the palate, and balanced out the flavor of this beer absolutely perfectly. A small, yet noticeable alcoholic aftertaste. One of the most balanced beers. The mouth feel is creamy and heavy yet smooth as silk. Fairly low in carbonation. About like drinking slightly carbonated milk. It's a filling beer, but very easy drinking.
Captain Lawrence Smoked Porter
A complex beer, with layers of flavors unfolding as this beer slides down your throat. Before the introduction of indirect-fired malt kilns, all beers had a smoky flavor. Today only a handful of brewers produce beer reminiscent of those of the past. We use imported German smoked malt to add depth and complexity to our Smoked Porter. Sensory Profile: Aromas of smoked wood, licorice, and dark fruit. The flavor is a balance of smokiness, roasted malt, coffee, and malty sweetness. Food Pairing: A natural match for any smoked or grilled meats. The smoky flavor of the meat and the unique smoky flavor of the beer blend beautifully to elevate the enjoyment of them both.
Empire Cream Ale
Our Cream Ale is carbonated with nitrogen so it cascades as it pours. This gives the beer an extremely smooth mouth feel. It is golden in color with a crisp hop flavor and aroma. After the standard nitro-waterfall effect that comes from the pour, the body Empire Cream Ale settles into a clear yellow color with a creamy white head. The lacing is of course very good. The aroma is bready and sweet, dominated by pilsner malt. The flavor, like the aroma, is dominated by the malt. A wave of sweet malt is followed by the bready pilsner malt. One thing the flavor has that the aroma lacks is a pretty good kick from the hops, which I enjoy. Mouth feel is big and smooth from the nitrogen. Empire made pretty good cream ale with this one; it certainly did not take long to get through.
Flying Dog Classic Pale Ale
Dry Hopped with a load of Cascade hops grown in the Pacific Northwest. Doggie Style has enough hop character to satisfy hop-heads, but isn’t overpoweringly hoppy. It’s brilliant amber-copper color and pleasant malt flavor comes from the addition of Carastan malts.
Victory Hop Devil India Pale Ale
An Austrian recreation of the famous IPA from Victory Brewing.
