COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
For the sixth year we have faithfully produced the next edition in our impressive series of annual limited beers. Copious amounts of Pale, Chocolate, and Munich malts gives the mouthfeel to this brew. Additionally, twenty pounds of East African Cocoa combines with subtle raspberry flavors to accentuate the beer's creative backbone. Though not laden with hop bitterness, we chose the Perle hop's mild spice and sweetness to complement the chocolate in this ale. Unusual care and a year of aging, as well as hand corking and a never to be used again recipe give this beer a signature flavor which should only improve with time. It is extremely limited, extremely strong, and extremely original, because as we like to say around here "It's All About Extremes!" 11.7% Alcohol by Volume.

Bottle shared by cbkschubert at Hellbilly’s Shootout in Sosco Tasting. Thanks Craig! Pours clear brown with minimal head. The nose is caramel and brown sugar. The taste is caramel, molasses and some oxidation added due to the age but still a tasty brew. Flat mouthfeel. Thanks for the opportunity to try this Craig!

UPDATED: APR 4, 2010 Bottle shared by cbkschubert @ Hellbilly’s...thanks Craig!!! After drain pouring the ’07, I was reluctant to try this but glad I did. Cedar colored pour with limited carbonation (but not flat). Flavor and aroma show caramel, toffee, vanilla, and roasted malt. Not a bad one.
