COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
In early July, 2006 in commemoration of our 10th Anniversary, and the brewing of the 100th Batch of beer brewed at our new Pinnacle Peak brewery, Brewmaster Scott Yarosh wanted to do something different. The “Sonoran 100” is a naturally fermented Malt liqueur flavored with Honey and a hint of Maple. After the 9 week fermentation, we aged our “100” for several months before running the whole batch through our custom filter of toasted Maple and Oak wood chips. The result was a Bourbon-like brew that is best served in a small snifter or as a shot on the rocks for those that prefer it chilled. This 19.5 % ABV is the first brew in a continuing series of “Extreme Brews” the Sonoran Brewing Company has planed. Every 100 batches we will brew something wild! Keep an Eye out for It!

UPDATED: FEB 6, 2008 This beer can be best descriped as a beast of a beer. Very powerful smokey alcoholic after taste. When it first hits your tounge it is very smooth, but hard to handle after drinking. Not my fav. beer, but I can see why others like it. The whiskey hint hidden in the smokey flavoring makes this beer unique.

Murky dark caramel with no head or lacing. Aroma and flavor of overly ripe fruits, alcohol, caramel, brown suger and whisky with a big alcohol warming rush! One of these is all you need to be feeling good and tight! Thanks Bockyhorsey.

Bottle… O-Town Throwdown Part Tres... This beer rocks!… Murky burnt orange ale with no head. The nose is an intoxicating whirlwind of woodsy, smoky notes with a big whiskey blast. I’m picking up both Scotch and bourbon with a touch of diacetyl. The complex flavor is a swirl of essences; sweet whisky, wood, caramel, plum and molasses. Boozy and surprisingly well-bittered… despite all its malts and sugars, this brew actually leans toward the bitter side of balance. Full-bodied with a coarse, watery mouthfeel and no carbonation. Finishes alcoholic and dry. I’m going against the grain here, but I absolutely loved my sample. Thanks boboski!

Courtesy boboski. Murky dead dark brown color with zero head. Heavy smoke and spicy alcohol on the nose. Some oak also. Thick uncarbonated palate. Dark tropical fruit tastes with a smoky woody finish. The interesting tastes are interesting since they fight their way through the alcohol and thick palate. It doesn’t look very inviting, but is quite unique.

UPDATED: DEC 23, 2008 Courtesy boboski. Great looking bottle, like tequila. Pours like watery syrup. Burnt maple syrup aroma. Over the top syrupy alcohol taste. I am glad I got to try it, but I just did not like it. 12~21 rerate courtesy Redlight. Murky pond water color. Very smoky, sweet burnt maple syrup. Taste is very sweet charred maple syrup and brown sugar. A little better this time around.
