TRIPLE CROWN WINNER! GOLD MEDALS at World Beer Cup 2004, AND TAP NY 2004, AND 2003 Great American Beer Festival!!! This traditional bavarian style lager is brewed in early winter and aged until our annual release in mid-spring. Its dark mahogany hue is visually enticing & represents this bold heavily bodied complex bier. Flavors are intense & chewy, with molasses, caramel, & lingering dark sugars that are incredibly smooth & creamy yet humbly complex. This special brew towers with alcohol that is enhanced by modest carbonation.
