Description
Griffin Claw Brewing Company’s official opening day may be July 18th, 2013 but it all started when Dan Rogers began working his magic at Big Rock Chophouse in Birmingham, MI. Dan had been brewing since 1991 and eventually found his way to Big Rock in 2004, this is the unofficial start of Griffin Claw. Dan continued hammering out amazing beers in the small confines of Big Rock and the Michigan beer community started taking notice. It wasn’t until 2010 that his name and beers received a lot more attention. 2010 was a big year, winning two World Beer Cup medals for Norm’s Raggedy Ass and Bonnie’s Raggedy Ass.

Griffin Claw’s culture is that of growth. Our path to get where we are has been a quick one but it’s because of our people. We are centered around young, hungry, active beer enthusiasts – with a foundation of grizzled vets. Our love for this Great Beer State is increased as the days go on and we love the industry that we’re in.

Can shared at tasting. Brown to black color, no head. Smell and taste malts, coffee, liquor, bourbon, boozy but nice. Heavy though, very heavy. A bit too much for me.

Can shared at tasting, hik! Almost opaque black color, small off-white head. Smell and taste malts, coffee, appears to have bourbon as well and vanilla as well as maple notes. Quite pleasant, heavy but good but you've got to be able to stand the booze.

Blik gedeeld door Keukeman, geprobeerd met Benzai en Inoven. Het is een diep donkerbruin bier met een aroma van chocolade en kokos.

Can at home. Opaque black color, virtually no head. Aroma is malts, brown malts, heavy bourbon and it seems to me that they've thrown in some kind of (Dutch) "peperkoek" (kind of dinger bread-ish I think). Flavor is malts, bourbon prominently, brown malts, brown malts alcohol bitters. Quite pleasant. Maybe a little bit "rough" but still quite nice.
