Boulder Beer Company - Flashback Anniversary Ale

ABV: 6.80%
Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 60
Serving Temperature: 45-52° F
Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass, Mug or Stein
Hops: Cascade
Malts: Belgian Biscuit, Chocolate, Pale, Gambrinus Honey
Country: United States

Bring on the birthday brew! On the nose, expect big biscuity and toasty notes amidst citrusy cascade hop aromas and seeds (think wild bird feed). Look for fruity notes to emerge as it warms, with a roasty, nutty profile and hints of milk chocolate and caramel. This beer is on the bigger side—a so-called “India brown ale”—yet it maintains balance amidst its complexities and girth. Notes of caramel, roastiness, toffee, grapefruit zest, crackers and...

ABV: 7.20%
Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 70
Serving Temperature: 43-50° F
Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass
Hops: Amarillo, Centennial
Malts: Pale, Wheat, Caramel
Country: United States

‘The Mojo’ brings it with an explosion of citrusy, piney hop aromatics and big time fruit notes. Oh sweet & hoppy goodness! The pine character is huge; sappy and resinous, with grapefruit flesh and rind also prominent on the nose. Flavor begins big & citrusy, almost juicy, with grapefruit and tangerine flavors. These are washed to the background by a sticking bitterness that develops, grows, and hangs on and on. A lightly sweet malt backbone does...

Pivovar Herold - Bohemian Black lager

ABV: 5.20%
Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass, Pilsner Glass, Mug or Stein
Country: Czech Republic

Our second featured international beer is an example of a Black Lager. German varieties of this style are often referred to as Schwarzbier (Schwarze means black in German). However, the brewers have intentionally distinguished the brew from German examples by including the term 'Bohemian' in the title. Expect a deep, nearly black color adorned with a wonderfully creamy, chocolaty-brown head. The aroma is particularly pleasant on the nose, full of...

Cerveceria Artesanal BarbaRoja - Barrel-Aged Red Ale

Style: Barrel-Aged Imperial Red Ale
ABV: 9.00%
Serving Temperature: 50-55° F
Suggested Glassware: Snifter
Country: Argentina

This big red ale pours a deep amber color with ruby highlights when held to the light, with a big beige head fading to a solid covering and collar. On the nose, expect deep rich caramel notes, blanketed by an aromatic tingle from the hops. Look for notes of pears, over ripened apples, and the faintest possible impression of peat. Sweet molasses, maple syrup and floral notes mingle with wafts of alcohol and dark-skinned fruit, with minor notes of ...

Flying Dog Brewery - Kerberos Tripel

ABV: 8.60%
Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 27
Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
Suggested Glassware: Goblet or Snifter
Hops: German Perle, Strisserspalt, Saaz
Malts: Weyerman Pils, Briess Aromatic
Country: United States

Kerberos, the multi-headed guard dog of Hades prevents those who have crossed the River Styx from leaving. Unlike the typical concept of a guard dog who keeps people out, Kerberos seeks to keep folks in one place. You too may find yourself unable to break away from the bottle as Kerberos confines you to your barstool. Look for notes of custard and butterscotch on the nose. There are some semi-sharp European hop aromas, but mainly sweeter notes do...

Flying Dog Brewery - Tire Bite Golden Ale

ABV: 4.70%
Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 20
Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
Suggested Glassware: Stange or Pint Glass
Hops: German Perle, Hallertau
Malts: 2-Row, White Wheat, Munich
Country: United States

Tire Bite is brewed in the Kölsch style, a unique style of beer found only in Cologne, Germany (outside of which it’s not legal to call it Kölsch). It’s a light-bodied style that has the clean and crisp nature of a lager, with some of the fruitier notes found in an ale. It is a unique style of beer that leaves no room for error in the brewing process, as even small flaws in flavor will announce themselves like your neighbors’ yappy dog. Pours a c...

Herold Brewery (Pivovar Herold) - Bohemian Granát Lager

ABV: 5.80%
Serving Temperature: 42-48° F
Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass, Pilsner Glass, Mug (clear) or Stein
Country: Czech Republic

Herold Brewery's Bohemian Granát Lager debuted in the 19th century, but was discontinued in favor of other, lighter beers. Expect a deep garnet color topped by a creamy tan head. Swirling the beer in the glass rouses malty, chocolate-laden notes that are offset by the spry aromatics of a traditionally hoppy, almost grassy, Czech Saaz hop character and notes of Red Delicious apples rolled in caramel. The flavor is rich and robust, with caramel, to...

De Proef Brouwerij & Bell’s Brewery - Van Twee

Style: Belgian Strong Dark Ale brewed with Michigan Dark Cherry Juice
ABV: 7.50%
Serving Temperature: 50-60° F
Suggested Glassware: Tulip or Snifter
Country: Belgium

This unique collaboration beer pours a very deep, hazy, burgundy brown color and is topped by a massive, intensely sticky, tan colored head that laces nicely and remains indefinitely. Smells of spicy Belgian yeast greet the nose, falling in line with expectations for a Belgian strong dark ale. But then it takes on a unique twist, with prominent notes of chocolate and some coffee, fudge, and a ‘stemmy’ woodiness. When swirled, look for faint impre...
