COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Sunset Imperial Amber is finally on the shelves! This Imperial beauty has been a work in progress since November, 2014 and features Cascade Hops from The Hop Garden’s hop yard. It pours with an amber color, a slight haze and mocha head. This unfiltered and unpasteurized Imperial will have a fruity aroma and taste with just a bit of malty sweetness.

Fiery amber with a big frothy off-white head, mostly diminishing. Aroma is barley wine like, no booze, caramel, toffee, delicate fruitiness. Medium body. Alcohol is well hidden. Flavor approaches a lite barley wine. A bit of tang. Medium bittersweet. Surprisingly balanced. Quite juicy. This was a nice surprise.

Sweet, musky barleywine like aroma. Strong many character throughout. Definitely a fruitiness in the taste. Lots of malt, hops on the finish.

Drinkable good malt bill. Bottle from Woodman’s-Madison East. Lots of foamy head.

This was an impressive and satisfying beer. Big amber color and aroma with a strong mocha chocolate aroma and deep dark fruit. This was tastey, the hips , Cascade, are there but are earthy, succulent. There is solid malt and hop flavors here, finishes well with hints of rum and fruit but a great hop presence through out. At times it is not unlike a barleywine. Full body
