Cuddeback Session Ale is a classic SMASH (Single Malt, Single Hop) beer that celebrates the origins of American Pale Ale. Instead of the traditional Cascade hop, we've used the bold and aromatic Simcoe, adding a modern twist to this timeless style. The result is a balanced, sessionable ale with a refreshing piney and citrusy flavor. Cuddeback Session Ale has a low gravity with light and refreshing taste.
Dorothy and the Dragon is a formidable imperial stout that defies expectations. Its dark, rich color hints at the depth of flavor within, while its aroma, a complex tapestry of chocolate, oak, and caramel, draws you in. Despite its powerful first sip, the stout's smoothness is surprising, a velvet-like texture that coats the mouth and leaves a lingering warmth. The bourbon barrel aging adds layers of complexity, imparting notes of sweet chocolate, oak, and a touch of spice. This mythical brew is a testament to the balance between power and subtlety, rewarding exploration with each sip.
Born from the crisp embrace of a winter brew day here in Dorrington, our Falling Leaf Winter Vienna Lager embodies the season's quiet beauty. We've layered rich Vienna and Munich malts to create a deep amber hue and a comforting malt profile brimming with notes of freshly baked bread and a whisper of toffee. A thoughtful selection of Saaz and Hallertau Mittelfrüh hops imparts a delicate floral bouquet and a subtle earthy spice, their gentle bitterness providing a clean and satisfying finish. Fermented slow and cold, this lager achieves a remarkable smoothness and clarity, mirroring the pristine winter landscape. Falling Leaf is an invitation to slow down, savor the moment, and find warmth in a truly classic style.
Elephant Rock is a formidable Imperial Stout, an extra-large brew built upon a colossal foundation of nearly 18 pounds of grain. This robust stout features a complex malt bill of Crystal, contributing dark fruit and caramel notes, alongside layers of rich cocoa and intense espresso from Chocolate and Roasted Barley malts, finished with a touch of roasty dryness from Black Patent. Crafted for contemplative sipping, especially by a crackling fire, Elephant Rock's substantial character promises a warming experience and the potential to develop intriguing port-like flavors with extended aging. Prepare for a truly monumental and deeply satisfying stout.
Historically, Doppelbock was high in alcohol and sweetness. The story is told that it served as "liquid bread" for the Friars during times of fasting when solid food was not permitted. The Highlands Doppelbock is a strong bready beer with a clean finish.
As twilight drapes the forest in hushed tones, you emerge from the woods and settle by a murmuring stream. A lonely cowbell drifts through the air. Then, with a rustle in the undergrowth, a creature of legend steps into the clearing. A Chocolate Milk Cow, its coat the color of dusk, lowers its head to offer you a frothy elixir, the smoothest Stout you've ever encountered.
Scotland boasts a heavyweight champion: Wee Heavy. This complex, strong ale isn't shy about its malt-forward flavors. While it's traditionally served in smaller pours ("wee"), don't mistake it for frugality. The high alcohol content is the real reason behind the pint-sized portions. Still, its bold taste has earned Wee Heavy a loyal following, not just in Scotland, but around the globe.
Hunter Hefeweizen is a traditional German beer with a medium-bodied, effervescent ale practically exploding with yeast and wheat malt character, kind of like a liquid multi-grain bread. This brew is an alternative for those who may not enjoy heavy Stouts and Ales.
