Mother Earth Silent Night ’11 Release Deets

181 days ago

The 2011 release of Mother Earth Brewing’s Silent Night Imperial Stout is 12/1/11. Night is a bourbon barrel aged imperial stout that just might rival others you may have had before. This years edition has a bit of a twist – coffee. Specifically Counter Culture Coffee.

Counter Culture Coffee tweaked their classic 1922 Mocha & Java blend just for us to give Silent Night an even more pronounced note of rich dark chocolate. For added body, richness, and complexity, we also mixed in Counter Culture’s sweet, heirloom Jagong coffee from northern Sumatra. Four pounds of savory beans went in each 20bbl batch.… Read the rest

Adam From The Wood, Doggy Claws, Bourbon Fred, 11/12

197 days ago

Per Alan Sprints of Hair Of The Dog Brewing (Portland, OR) will have a few releases hit on 11/12/11.

Doggie Claws – Barleywine, 11.5%. Doggie Claws is lush and tasty, nice carbonation and a firm bitterness. It will be $5 a bottle, $95 a case.

Bourbon Fred from the Wood – American Strong Ale 11.5%. A bit of a disappointment because of the carbonation level, which is low, even by my standards. The Beer is still delicious, smooth and rich with a great bourbon flavor. It may self carbonate in the future, or maybe not. It will be $7 a bottle, $140 a case.… Read the rest
