Sprecher Brewing Company - Special Amber

Sprecher Brewing Company - Special Amber

Sprecher Brewing Company - Special Amber

  • ABV: 5.00%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 22
  • Serving Temperature: 45-52°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Cascade, Mt. Hood
  • Malts: Caramel, Caravienna, Munich, Pale
  • Country: United States
This Vienna lager does indeed pour a clear, medium amber color. We found the aroma to be very well balanced with bready malts accompanied by a lightly spicy hop aroma. Notes of caramel and a hint of toffee come through as well. We found the flavors a bit more forceful than the aroma with a complex and sweet maltiness, notes of caramel, mild toastiness, and some apple-like notes increasing with warmth. The American hops come through with a bit mor...

  • ABV: 5.70%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 48

  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Perle, Willamette
  • Malts: Pale, Crystal, Chocolate, Caramunich 2, Wheat
  • Country: United States
Riverdriver is brewed with an infusion of natural hazelnut flavor to complement the roasty flavors endemic to the porter style – a pairing that makes sense given the popularity of hazelnut coffee. We found that this interesting approach to a porter does indeed work out quite well. An attractive brew, it offers up a deep, dark brown color with garnet hues at the edge of the glass when held to the light. The hazelnut aroma is most certainly appa...

Sea Dog Brewing Company - Old East India Pale Ale

  • ABV: 6.10%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 48
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Cascade, Willamette
  • Malts: Pale, Crystal, Chocolate, Wheat
  • Country: United States
If the allusion to the East India Company in the name of this brew gives you the impression that this is an English-style IPA, you’d be right. Look for a clear, deep amber copper color on the pour, with a plentiful, creamy head. A pleasant aroma of caramel malt is apparent, with a lightly toasty quality, some mild toffee hints, and a nicely spicy hop note. On the palate, the malt sweetness is moderate, with some toasty notes hitting upfront acco...

The Lion Brewery Ceylon - Lion Imperial Lager

  • ABV: 8.80%
  • Serving Temperature: 40-45°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass or Flute
  • Country: Sri Lanka
This amped-up lager pours a clear golden color with a bright white head that’s surprisingly robust and persistent for a lager of this strength (high alcohol levels are often bad for head retention). The nose is quite vibrant with aromas of sweet biscuity malts, a mild cellar-like mustiness, hay, Scotch whisky, some fruitiness akin to grape juice, and an herbal, grassy, leafy hop note. On the palate this beer is quite sweet, with grain notes amids...

Brasserie de Jandrain-Jandrenouille - V Cense

  • Bottle Size: 12-oz
  • Style: Amber Belgian Saison
  • ABV: 7.50%
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip or Oversized Wine Glass
  • Country: Belgium
Non-filtered, non-Pasteurized, and refermented in the bottle (plus a cool, monumental label to boot), V Cense pours a very attractive brassy amber color which starts quite clear and gains cloudiness as you approach the bottom of the bottle and pick up some of the sedimented yeast. This beer is dressed by a tight-bubbled eggshell head that dissipates to a thin covering surrounded by a nice thick collar. On the nose, expect notes of mulled citrus (...

The Lion Brewery Ceylon - Lion Stout

  • ABV: 8.80%
  • Serving Temperature: 50-55°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Snifter
  • Country: Sri Lanka
Lion Stout is an impressive beer from the moment you begin pouring. This is a super dark, rich-looking brew, with a gorgeous chocolaty head – don’t even think of drinking this one from the bottle; you need to enjoy its appearance while slowing sipping away and pondering this stout. Big, rich, dark chocolate aromas are immediately apparent, which combined with notes of creamy sweetness offer a chocolate cake impression. Molasses and an underlyi...

Sprecher Brewing Company - Black Bavarian

  • ABV: 5.86%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 32
  • Serving Temperature: 47-55°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Cascade, Chinook, Mt. Hood, Tettnanger
  • Malts: 2-Row Pale, Black Patent, Caramel, Chocolate
  • Country: United States
Sprecher’s Black Bavarian is brewed in the German Schwarzbier, or “Black Beer,” style, and is one of the more robust and hearty versions we’ve seen. On the pour, expect a very, very dark brown color with reddish flashes and a fluffy head. In the aroma department, notes of brown bread and chocolate come to the fore, with some nice toasty notes and an impression of moderate sweetness. We also were intrigued by a certain subtle underlying dimension...

  • Style: Strong Specialty Ale
  • ABV: 8.20%
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass, Tulip, or Oversized Wine Glass
  • Country: United States
Ah, another mysterious “Cuvée”… What does it mean? The term comes from the French word “cuve”, meaning vat or tank. In general, these are wines that have been blended from several batches to achieve a particular flavor. When applied to beer, the term is more nebulous. In some cases it simply implies that this is a wine-like (vinous) brew. It may be a blend of different batches, and perhaps even some or all of those batches were aged in wood. It i...
