This imperial Red Ale takes the intense hop profile found in a traditional double IPA and turns up the malt. It has big aromatic hop notes of grapefruit, peach, and melon balanced by a smooth and surprisingly robust malt body.

Brewed in the authentic historical style of an Imperial Russian Stout, this beer is massive. Intensely aromatic (notes of anise, black currants, coffee, roastiness and alcohol) and heavy on the palate, this brew goes where few can - and fewer dare even try. The style originated from Czarist Russia's demand for ever thicker English stouts. Expect our version of this mysterious brew to pour like Siberian crude and taste even heavier!

Imperial Rye Porter is a dark ale with lots of character, brewed by Spike and Kjetil. The best of both worlds!

Our first of the Brewers Playground Series is a stylistic oddity, reminiscent of a Saison mixed with a Trippel, with a dash of Belgian Strong Golden Ale. Notes of clove, bread, and large malt backbone hide a very high ABV making this a slow sipping beer mascaraing as a session saison.

This is a high-gravity interpretation of the classic German style black lager. Generous amounts of dehusked German barley were used to give the beer its dark color without adding the roasted or burnt flavors that are associated with typical dark beers. This coupled with lower hopping rates lends to a smooth flavor with medium body and mildly warming finish.

This Imperial Smoked Porter starts with a rich, dark ale brewed with Cherrywood smoked malt which has been aged in Bourbon Barrels for 8 months. Then we blended it with a young, dark ale and added vanilla; creating a velvety smooth ale with layers of dark malt, light smoke, and vanilla.

Blacker than night, stouter than stout is our Imperial Stout. Brewed with a lot of malt & a touch of honey, Imperial Stout is rich & robust with deep, deep notes of dark chocolate & espresso.

A dark-as-night Imperial stout dominated up front by a bold roasted malt flavor, which reveals hints of caramel, coffee and chocolate, while a subtle hop bitterness works in concert to reveal a dry, warming finish. On the nose, an earthy, peat smoke aroma accompanies the rich malt profile We've teamed up with Vermont artist Tom Cullins, whose bold, beautiful work adorns the bottle label. Cullins' dynamic use of color and space provides a warming visual that echoes the structured chaos of the malts and hops that create this dynamic brew. Available November 2014 - February 2015
