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.

Unibroue 16
Unibroue 16 750ml:
This Belgian style Canadian brew pours orange/amber in color with a big fluffy head. The aroma is big and estery, yeasty bread, bananas and spice. The flavor is caramel and cake, figs, and currents with some peppery spice and a sweet creamy finish.

Koningshoeven Quadrupel
Koningshoeven Quadrupel 750ml:
Without going into too much mind numbing detail, this brewery from the Netherlands once brewed the “La Trappe” label and was an official “Trappist” ale. They then changed the brewery around and lost their “Trappist” status. The “La Trappe” label has since disappeared and the brewery is now brewing under the “Koningshoeven” label and has regained it official “Trappist” designation.
