As our anniversary falls in the middle of winter, the darkest, coldest days in the Mid Atlantic, we have brewed a strong, dark ale to warm us against the cold.
Our Second Anniversary Ale is a very limited
Smoked Imperial Porter, called TWO.
This Porter is a stronger, smoked version of our flagship Porter. It is dark brown, almost black in color, and has a smoky, roasted aroma and smooth, rich, complex smoke and chocolate flavors.
Our Brewers and the Tasting Room crew teamed up to mill in by hand 5000 pounds of German beech wood smoked malt and 600 pounds of roasted malt. This was all done bag by bag over the course of an afternoon, truly a labor of love!
Enjoy TWO with smoked meats and cheeses in front of a fire.

Draft at the brewery. Pitch black pour, I had a small tan head but my friends did not have a head to speak of. aroma is sweet, touch boozy on nose. Flavor is touch smoke, dark malts. Some alcohol warmth at the back of the throat. That was February 1st’s rating. After 6 months, they put it back on tap at the brewery. Rich, creamy notes. Some smoke, mostly a nice array of roasted malts. Would love to try this one in a few more months... again.
