Stone Imperial Russian Stout
Stone Imperial Russian Stout 22oz:
Hello comrades! Stones 2007 Imperial Russian is as good as ever. Inky black and as thick and rich as ever. This strong (10.8%) massive beer has a plum, licorice and coffee aroma. Its flavor is roasty with a black current fruity character. In other words it is everything you want out of an Imperial Stout. I was allotted 10 cases so get while the getting’s good.

Moylans Hopsickle Imperial Ale
Moylans Hopsickle Imperial Ale 22oz:
Back In Stock!!
If you ARE looking for a hop monster, this is it. This 9.2% behemoth is so loaded with hops that it makes your saliva glands kick into high gear. This gives the beer a weird (but very pleasant) juiciness you don’t usually find in a beer. It pours a deep copper with a large head. Its aroma is piney with a hint of grapefruit. The flavor is of tart fruity hops with the pine backing it up. There is malt in there someplace but for the life of me I can’t really pin it down due to the overwhelming assault from the hops.

Avery Maharaja Imperial IPA
Avery Maharaja Imperial IPA 22oz:
Back In Stock!!!
Uuuummmmmm deep hop goodness. This red / copper colored beer pours with plenty of head. The aroma is of big citrus and fruity pineapple hop character. It has a toasty sweet malt to balance the huge spicy floral hop bitterness. At 102 IBUs and 9.72% it is an imperial in every sense of the word. Although Imperial IPAs are all about the hops I would be interested to see what this beer is like in 3 or 4 years. It is excellent now and has some awesome aging potential due to the forthright malt offering.

Fiddlers Green IPA
Fiddlers Green IPA 12oz:
Deep golden with a flash of orange and a good size head that falls quickly. The aroma is of a citrusy orange character (not grapefruit). The flavor is of light crystal malts then a big orange hop flavor and a more bitter citrus rind finish.

North Coast Old Stock Ale 2007
North Coast Old Stock Ale 2007 12oz:
This 11.7% powerhouse is a brew to be reckoned with. It is great now and will be awesome one to three years from now so do not be afraid to put some up (I know I will).
Pours hazy brown with a tint of copper. The aroma is of toasty malt, a whiff of smoke and dark dried fruit. Malty and a touch sweet up front with a fruity mid-pallet and at this point it has a dry hop bitterness at the end which should mellow out nicely with age. This is definitely a grade A beer that should be part of anyone’s beer cellar.

Midnight Sun Artic Rhino
Midnight Sun Artic Rhino 22oz:
This dark brown coffee porter pours with a nice tan head. The aromas are of roasted barley, chocolate and a ton of coffee. The malt aromas carry over into the flavor along with light hop bitterness and once again a ton of coffee. For those of you who love coffee or just want to have a beer with breakfast, this is the one.
