Sasquatch’s Choice! With 5lbs of hops per barrel brewed, our Imperial CDA is one of the biggest & boldest of it’s kind. A massive beer, it’s full body, midnight black color & elusive complex flavors, symbolize the Lost Giants who wander the PNW.
Dank floral, citrus-pine aromas are offset by subtle, roasted toffee-chocolate flavors and traces of dark fruit-like dates, plums & dried cherries; culminating in complex tastiness and a smooth, well-rounded, lingering bitterness. You’ll notice the luscious, tan head of foam hangs along for the ride (cheers – to natural carbonation!) Try pairing it with rich foods & desserts. Enjoy this hearty brew & try not to get Lost among the Giants!
And there will be plenty more to come…stay tuned! Cheers

On tap at Bayou on the Bay, pours black with a small beige head. Nose is full of piney hops and roasted malt. Flavour is very pungent, with loads of piney hops, tons of roast, and buttery notes. ABV is very well-hidden, with a great balance between hops and malt. Excellent. --- Beer merged from original tick of Lost Giants CDA on 11 Feb 2018 at 07:46 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7. Original review text: On cask at Boundary Bay, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma brings out dark fruits, toasted malt and somewhat bitter hops. Flavour is very fruity, full of dark dried fruits, with subdued resinous hops, and toasted biscuity malt. Very fruity, with lots of dark fruits on the finish. Good stuff.
