Produced in 2010: This is a celebration of our fifteenth year making craft beer and it stands as an example of the bold flavorful beers that we have come to make. This is not a timid ale; it’s an intense, full-bodied smoke experience. Fifteen has a rich flavor profile balancing notes of dark roast, burnt toast, and spicy rye with a deep earthy aroma of smoke and wood. This beer should age nicely and be a smoky treasure for many years. Recipe by Chris Wilson, Head Brewer and Dan Hitchcock, Brewer.

Bottle from whenever, stored properly and allowed to breathe for an hour. Smooth palate, slightly 3, modest fine carbonation. Malts are creamy sweet with a nice light and well integrated smoke. Little tangy dark chocolate. Some dark fruits and a mild spicy alcohol finish. Not showing its age to any degree and a good smoke ale.

It’s a hair of the dog kind of day, thanks a lot Matt ;) This one has been flying under the radar in my cellar, but today could not stay unseen, so we drink. Pours a solid color of darkness with a stingy tan head that quickly dissipates to a ring on top. The aroma as advertised is quite smokey, with bits of roast and chocolate rounding it out quite nicely. The taste is what you expect based on the aroma. You get a bit of chocolate caramel and roast up front then some heavy smokey phenolics come in and then fade. A bit of earthy bitterness with a hint of alcohol rear up for a second before a long lingering smoke and ash lay down a pretty heavy finish. Medium to thick body with a light level of carbonation and a thick sweet roasty chocolate syrup kind of mouthfeel. I really enjoyed this one, I wish I had popped this open a lot sooner, or squirreled some more of these away.

Very dark brown but w/o much head. The aroma has light smokiness, along with some lightly roasty, rich imperial stout malts. The body is a little viscous, but the taste is neither sugary nor particularly dry either. It’s a little flabby, actually. There is some light smokey character but unfortunately it odes not integrate well with the malts.

Black with a small tan head. Aroma of caramel, toffee and licorice, with a faint hint of raisin and smoke. Sweet roasted and bacon smoked malt flavour with a bit of wood complexity. Despite the sweetness and alcohol, it doesn’t feel heavy and sticky, and grows with each sip
