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!

Cool looking 390ml bottle acquire in trade with cbkschubert. Bottle # 169/1000. Poured a medum brownish color with no head. Aromas of nuts, maple, vanilla, smoke, and caramel. Tastes of maple, caramel, nuts, and brown sugary sweetness. Some alcohol in the finish. Not what I expected, in a good way (but I’m not sure what I really expected!).

Bottle… <b>O-Town Throwdown Part Tres</b>... <b>This beer rocks!</b>… 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. <b>Thanks boboski!</b>

Bottle 621/1000. Still pour, no carbonation, as expected, of course. Color of dark maple/plum/brown. Some amount of booziness in the nose, some heavy maple, wood and sweetened bourbon notes, some nuts, toast, more maple… smells really good, actually. Silky, oily and moderately thick (just below heavy), with a strong note of dry wood, very strong flavor of maple-flavored bourbon, some nuts, breads, etc. Warming but not boozy or hot. Nice stuff, drinks like a dessert liqueur.

Thanks for bringing this to a tasting, General Gao. The body was dark brown with no head. The aroma was rich and leathery with some caramel. This had an aged cellar type smell that made me think of oxidation. The taste had some smoky malts with a little bit of apples. There was also some dank cellar, but it dominated and detracted from the beer. You gotta love the bottle which made me think of maple syrup.
