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!

Thanks to Steve for this one. Bottle had been opened for some time so it poured a dark brown with no head what so ever. Has the smell of maple syrup and brown sugar. Has the taste of maple syrup, brown sugar, bourbon, and wood. I really enjoyed this one even without and carbination. I would love to try it again

Minibottle (handbottle) kindly shared by omhper on the bus back home from the Björntasting. Deep brown colour, no head. Big time raisin/plum as well as some caramel and alcohol in the aroma. Mild coffee and roasted malts as well. Flavour is rather much the same with liquorice being in a rather strong role. Some mild spicy burning notes as well. Cool enough the alcohol isn’t burning that much in this one.

(Hand-)bottled, thanks Cletus! Cloudy nut brown, no head. Massive raisin and caramel aroma. There’s pleny of raisiny madeira and licorice. Huge bodied with warming alcohol being evident. Feels mature and relaxed, fruity with notes of coffee, growing bitterness in a finish where peppery warming alcohol is prevalent.
