Imperial Brown Ale with Chestnuts. We did this for no reason. So under no circumstances are you to expect anything. Except a rich, chocolaty and nutty, barrel aged brown ale. Jorge pours dark and roasty, so don’t be alarmed when you ask for another. It’s not you, it’s Jorge.

Can. Brown pour. Aroma of sweet bourbon, cherry vanilla, caramel fudge, figs, dates, molasses and lots of caramel. Taste of bitter caramel fudge, vanilla, oak, figs, dates, raisin, bitter caramel, malt, nuttiness and a bitter boozy nutty finish. Strange, but nice.
