Avery’s The Beast Rises Again August 1st
Avery’s The Beast returns on August 1st. The best is a Belgian strong dark ale, that typically clocks in around 16%. The Beast is a part of the brewery’s “Demons of Ale” series, and is brewed with dates, molasses, dark candi sugar, honey, raisins and turbinado sugar.

With a deep burgundy color and aromas of honey, nutmeg, mandarin orange and pineapple, this massive and challenging brew has flavors akin to a beautiful Carribean rum. Dates, plums, raisins and molasses are dominant in a rich vinous texture. Cellarable for 10+ years.

Innis & Gunn’s First Oak Aged Porter: Winter Treacle 2012
Innis & Gunn looks to be switching it up a bit for their Winter Beer 2012. Last year’s edition featured the strong ale, aged in American bourbon oak. Exclusively available in the three bottle gift pack. 2012 looks to bring you a porter aged in oak with molasses. This is the first time the brewery has created a beer like this.
This is the first time we have brewed and oak matured a Porter, which has been imparted with great depth of flavor thanks to the addition of some roasted wheat, crystal malt and molasses (rich, dark treacle.) These flavor packed ingredients, along with our long, slow signature approach to maturation, have created a sublime beer that is perfect for cold, dark winter nights.
Style: Porter (w/ Molasses, Oak Aged)
Availability: 11.2 oz bottles
Arrival: Winter, 2012
