A smokey amber ale designed in collaboration with Chef John Gorham of Toro Bravo, this beer is intended to pair with his restaurant’s spicy, rich, and layered tapas menu. For additional resonance between the beer and John’s food, we used a touch of Espelette pepper in the brew kettle.

Pours clear deep golden with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, citrus and minerals, caramel, orange and hint of bread. Taste is medium sweet and light to medium bitter with a long caramel, citrus and chalky finish. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.

22 Oz bottle pour. Pours a thick copper color with a ton of head and lace. Spicy pepper and malt aroma. Really thick, creamy body with rich malt and hints of spicy peppers. Really good. Enjoyed this.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Amber color, clean, with compact head. It’s a very common Amber Ale, with some caramel and malt flavor, off-dry in the front and slightly mellower in the final; ordinary bitterness. The pepper provides a mild kick in the final but not the aromatic qualities of Espelette. There are better ideas for an Amber, this one is rather boring, I wouldn’t drink a full glass of it.
