A few times a year we cut Dan loose to brew whatever he chooses. Always handcrafted, the bottle you hold is brewed for the adventurous soul. This is a very limited edition and we make no promises to ever brew this style again.
This boss Cow rules with 9% ABV and an Original Gravity of 18.4 degrees Plato. Fine Wisconsin and Czech malts step out with hand chosen Willamette and Yakima Valley hops joined up with French and German varieties. Fresh coriander and sweet orange peel kick up Dan’s special Farmhouse Ale. Bottle fermented and hazy as an early meadow morning, expect Spotted Cow Grand Cru to be an assertively quaffable Imperial edition of Wisconsin’s favorite local brew.

Bottle from a gas station. Pours clear golden-amber with a large foamy beige head, faint berry-like aroma, low carbonation, medium bitter with Belgian yeast flavors and dried fruits, thin smooth body, long finish. A great triple!

Bottle from Woodman's in Waukesha. Pours a clear deep gold with a full 3 fingers of foam that lingers. Coriander, clove and citrus on the nose with some light banana bread aromas. More of the same on the palate with warming alcohol on the finish with more citrus zest. Wonderful big saison!

Many thanks to Drake for this bottle. Hazy dirty gold with an off-white head. Grasses, gum, yeast nose. Flavor is very similar: grasses, yeast, gum, light spice, dried floral hops, light caramel, hint of black tea. Tasty.

Hazy golden-amber color with a medium white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Partial rings of lace. Aroma of citrus, spice, caramel and yeast. Medium body with flavors of Belgian yeast, citrus, spice and malt. The finish is fruity yeast and spice. Above average overall.
