COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
For 14 wonderful years, we have been creating libations for ourselves in the hope that some others out there would share our eccentric palates and support us. Many thanks to all of you who do! Here is yet another quirky brew: a very dark and different, dry-hopped ale. Style? hard to say, you decide. Just expect massive molasses maltiness, limitless fruits on the nose and an imposing floral & zesty dry-hop finish. Peace to all and follow your dreams!
1.090 OG, 60 IBUs.

Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry, his bottle. Very dark brown, huge thick foamy brown head - looks great. Smokey, peaty, some yeast in interesting aroma. Taste is also very interesting - smoky, sweet, hoppy, chewy, campfire like. Complex. Very original and hard to describe. I liked it a lot.

Thanks gunhaver for the share. Pours cola brown with an off-white head. Nose is brown sugar, raisins, malt, vanilla, dark malt, and some chocolate. Flavor is dark chocolate, caramel, and wicked amounts of some dark fruits. Complex beer that had aged quite nicely.

cbkschubert (2685) - Cochise Co., Arizona, USA - AUG 29, 2007
22 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a dark brown color with a large, two finger thick light tan head that slowly dissipates. Lots of thick lacing. Aroma is toasted malt, esters, and floral hops. Flavor has lots of malt. Light roasted malt with a touch of chocolate and some light esters. It also has a touch of PNW hops in the flavor. Medium body. Smooth palate. Alcohol is slightly noticeable. I like beers. Throw a bunch of shit in there and see what you come up with. Good job Avery. Much better than the last couple anniversary beers.

Storm (2685) - Amager, DENMARK - OCT 27, 2007
65 cl. bottle. Dark brown colour with a nice light brown head. Aroma of yeast, bread-like, hops, roastedness and sweet malt. Tasty flavour of maltness, alcohol, roastedness, very smooth and with a nice bitter finish.

Gusler (2655) - Tucson, Arizona, USA - OCT 19, 2007
The beer after its pour from the 22 ounce bottle appears with a slight bit of haze in the mahogany body, ruby highlights at the edges, the head a creamy tan crown that towers above the body, as it surrenders to the forces of nature, the lacing seals the glass with a fine coating. Nose is sweet with malt, hints of hops and alcohol, caramel, black walnuts, and a citrus like crispness, bodes well for what’s to come. Front has a nice malt rich flavor with the hops providing a flowery bitterness, top is rich and full to the palate. The end time brings on a hop spicy freshness with the acidity providing the crispness, somewhat dry aftertaste continues the sweetness and the hops providing the tart twang, a consummate example of the brewer’s art.

Bockyhorsey (2590) - Mesa, Arizona, USA - JUL 3, 2007
22 oz bomber. Aroma reminds me of walking into an old smoke shop with the aromas of candy, sweet pipe tobbacco, wooden floors. Dark body with red tynt to color with tan head and lacing covering the glass. Sweet candy with some spice to add some bite to flavor. Good fruity candy aftertaste on plate with an alcohol body warming. Good Brew.
