Description
We focus our attention on brewing rustic, unfiltered, aromatic beers that are approachable and unique. We pull from our home brewing background to build beers that pay homage to tradition, but break new ground in American brewing techniques and flavors by blurring the line between beer and wine. We are brewers of big ideas in very small batches.

Top 50 for the style. 16 ounce can from Tavour. Barely translucent dark brown color. Frothy tan head. Subtle roasted malt aroma is kissed by a generous dose of vanilla and a hint of coffee. Flavors are more subdued. Notes of dark roast malt, coffee and vanilla. Some dryness in middle. Finishes with mild notes of chocolate, vanilla and coffee. Bitter finish and aftertaste.

Aromas are very slightly harsh resin, citrus and malt. Flavors are similar to nose. Okay bulody and great carbonation. A bit oxidized.

Definitely a full notch richer than the regular Appreciation. Richer berries, and less heavy on the grapefruit bretta, though there is still plenty of that to balance things out. Pours ruby red with decent pink head. Tart finish, great body. Tap at The Sovereign.

Grapefruit bretta and some red wine grapes. A little light oak. Pours slightly hazy golden with OK head. Light tart finish. Nice, but the Thousand Summers is still in my brain and much superior. Tap at Sovereign.

Light florals and a bit of clove. Pours golden with nice head retention. Light sweet finish. Nice balance, but flavour isn't as big as best of style. Tap at Sovereign.

Grapefruit and a little lemon. Pours clear golden with pretty good head. Some cloying mash malt in the finish--not really bitter. Tap at Sovereign.
