COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The '03 adds a new twist to the annual limited edition beer that we brew. The past three versions ('00, '01 and '02) all used ale yeast strains in their creation. This year, a lager yeast provides the next unique flavor in this series of strong beers. With this new yeast, we, again, selected an original combination of ingredients to round out the never-to-be-used-again recipe. Hints of roasted malt are balanced with the mildly floral bitterness of '03's three hops to produce our next one of a kind brew. In addition, the nearly full pound of malt that has been used to make each bottle of '03 is the key to it's complexity and tremendous strength. It is extremely limited, extremely strong and extremely original, because as we like to say around here: "It's All About Extremes!"

A doppelbock, or a barleywine. Either way a tasty beer. The aroma has some fruit and molasses. Flavor is very sweet, sugary sweet, and thick. The beer is very smooth and well balanced and seems to have aged well. The 2nd best of the 03-06.

1FastSTi (2990) - Glendale, Wisconsin, USA - JUN 28, 2007
RBSG 2007. The beer pours to a dark brown body with chestnut hues. A creamy tan head. The aroma is alcoholic tobacco, sweet barley, maduro cigars, aged tobacco, and aged malt. Complex and nice. The flavor is sweet malts, light chalkiness, tobacco, and tart cherry juice. The palate is creamy and tart, rich, and earthy. A delight.
