COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our maltiest beer with the most body showcases the specialty grains and restricts the hops. American 2-row Barley sets the stage for two kinds of Dark crystal, Biscuit malt and Munich to round everything out. Galena provides a gentle bitterness and Palisade gives it enough hop aroma and flavor to balance. Try it with BBQ ribs, chicken or a hot bowl of chili. 6.4% ABV and 28 IBU and great when the weather gets cold as the body and alcohol in the beer “warms you up.”

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear amber with a near white head that lasts throughout the beer and laces. Aroma has a good amount of earthy grains with a bit of woodiness underlying. Flavor has a bit of bread with a light sweetness and a bit of woodiness.

Tap at the taproom. Clear reddish amber with a smaller foamy head. Caramel and fruity sweetness. Some mineral character, which I heard from the bartender is likely due to the water supply in Waconia.

3 or 4 oz. pour (the bartender said 3, but it appears to be a 4 oz. glass), on tap at the brewery’s taproom. Consumed on 10-18-14. Pours a clear copper / bronze. Floral and quite fruity aroma features scent of bubblegum-flavored toothpaste. Fruity esters in the flavor. Juicy taste with a bubblegum flavor. Some booze noticeable in the taste. Almost meaty flavor, especially in the finish. Smells and tastes like a miniature barley wine. Fruitier than I anticipated, perhaps more like a bitter than a typical amber ale. Light to medium body. Lively in the palate. The barley wine or American strong ale qualities make sense given the high ABV relative to the amber ale style, something I didn’t notice while making my original notes on this beer.
