COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
While celebrating our win of three Gold medals, two Silver medals and “Large Brewpub of the Year” on the festival floor at the Great American Beer Festival, Ralph Woodall of HopUnion said, “Three golds and two silvers… that’s a full house!” Full House is rich, dark red-brown in color, with an aroma of caramel, toasted, and cocoa-like chocolate malt with a pronounced floral Northwest hop aroma. The sweetness of the chocolate and crystal malts blend beautifully with the assertive flavors of Cascade and Mt. Hood hops. Full House finishes clean, balanced, warming and satisfying.

Dark brown with a good, rocky head. Huge roasted aroma with plenty of hop character in there too. Buzzt and full of chocolate in the mouth, hints of coffee, plenty of bitterness though they keep it in check. Seems like it may have a high ABV but I can’t tell from the bottle but it drinks well through a hint of acetone. A good drop.

double/imperial brown ale: here we go again. sticky toffee, toasted oat bran / granola and heavy caramel malt sweetness with a crunchy and crusty texture and moderate american hop bitterness. chewy, sticky and syrupy texture with buzzing acid and rough malt edges. blaaaaaaargh.

Dark amber reddish color clear with a thin head. Lots of dark malt and spice in the flavor. There is a strong hops nose. Loved the flavor it is well balanced. Light with the chocolate malt and a smidge of caramel in the flavor also. Finishes smooth with a clean taste. Pelican is awesome again.

Dark chestnut, creamy pale tan head, tight small bubbles, great retention. Big west coast hoppy nose mixed with creamy caramel, seemed to have a metallic edge but that left quickly. A bit light in body for what the specs suggest and it seems like there’s too much crystal malt. Or not enough chocolate. I enjoyed the full mouthfeel in the finish as the earthy hops came through.

BückDich (5468) - McCall, Idaho, USA - NOV 13, 2010
Bottle: Pours a dark brown color with a nice fluffy head and some lacing. The nose is malty with lots of caramel and light chocolate; ample roast and sweet melanoidin notes swimming amongst the clean light noble hops. The flavor has a heavy mouthfeel, but it’s not too sweet or bitter; very balanced. Plenty more chewy molasses and caramel notes in the finish with a very refreshing impact. Big flavors but easy drinking; dangerous.

Bottle... Poured a dark brown with a beige head. Aroma was toasty, fruity, dark, sweet malty. Nutty, full, malty with a hint of hops. Dark fruits, slight smoke, good tannins, and a little soapy character. Caramel sweetness.

Pours a clear brown with not much head. Smells of caramel, biscuit and toast. Nearly no noticeable hop aroma. Taste is rich in caramel, heavy maltyness. Surprisingly there is not much linger or alcohol burn.
