Bent River bases this holiday brew on their delicious coffee stout known as Uncommon Stout, but it's "enhanced with vanilla, pecan, cinnamon, caramel and rum" to create something entirely new and festive. Pouring an opaque, deep, dark brown with a tan-colored head of foam, Jingle Java offers up plenty of roasty coffee notes along with an array of chocolate and cocoa powder, deep caramel, cinnamon, and a touch of sweet vanilla. On the palate...

Stormchaser pours a lightly hazy, golden-orange color capped by a crop of just off-white foam. Brewed with four hops known for producing citrus notes, among others, it's no surprise that bright citrus notes lead the way in the aroma department. Zesty orange and grapefruit notes burst forth along with a gently perfumed floral quality and touches of mild spice. Hints of caramel and a bit of tangy wheat lurk below, as well. Look for the malt...

Daytrotter Pale Horse Pale Ale pours a hazy golden hue capped by a robust and persistent crop of off-white foam. In the inviting aroma, look for prominent fruity notes displaying some floral citric character as well as touches of honeydew and berry, mild tropical notes, and a bit of spice. These aroma notes carry through nicely onto the flavor, too, which also boasts a solid backbone of lightly bready and wheaty pale malts. Hop bitterness comes...

Ad Astra Amber Ale was the very first beer Free State brewed when they opened in 1989, becoming the first beer (legally) made in the state since the 19th century. Pouring a deep, ruddy amber hue with good clarity and a cap of beige foam, this brew wastes no time offering up its intriguing aroma. Look for a nice balance between caramel maltiness and fruity overtones, a theme which will play throughout this beer. We picked up touches of dried...

Named in honor of Yakima Valley, WA, the undisputed hop capital of North America, Yakimaniac is a worthy love letter to the region. Pouring a bright golden hue with a crisp, almost white head of foam, this unfiltered IPA presents a very bold and resinous hop aroma that jumps out from the glass. Look for very bright notes of citrus rind/zest including grapefruit and lemon, tropical flora, melon, cannabis, and touches of tropical...

The term "coupage" is used in the wine world to refer to the blending of wines to make a finished product. Hijos de Rivera uses the term here to refer to the mixture of four traditionally floor-malted Czech barley malts which they use to brew this excellent lager. Pouring very dark brown – approaching black – with reddish flashes, 1906 Black Coupage offers up a wonderful aroma. Look for richly bready notes with toast, touches of licorice...

The 1906 Red Vintage is actually a blast from the past – a recipe that was almost lost to time. Long ago the brewery produced a beer named Especial Extra, though it was better known as "La Colorada" (The Red). The Hijos de Rivera brewmasters managed to recover the recipe and began brewing the beer again recently, and we're thankful they did! Red Vintage, which is brewed in the style of a German doppelbock, presents an attractive...

- Style: Imperial Stout w/ Vietnamese Cinnamon, Vanilla & Chocolate
- ABV: 13%
- Serving Temperature: 52–59° F
- Suggested Glassware: Snifter, Tulip or Pinot Glass

Vietnam’s Pasteur Street Brewing just recently landed on our radar, and their massive Cyclo Stout seemed a perfect final flourish for this special offer. Pasteur Street focuses on bringing U.S. craft-brewing techniques (and hops!) together with European malts and special additions like (in this case) cinnamon, vanilla, and Marou Chocolate cacao pods—all sourced in Vietnam.
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
- Style: Wine-inspired Belgian-style Tripel (w/ wine yeasts, flaked rye, & Hallertau Blanc hops)
- ABV: 10.4%
- Serving Temperature: 42–48° F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Chalice, or Chardonnay Glass
- Country: Denmark
Chateau Øl from To Øl was created in the spirit of a Belgian-style tripel, using various wine yeasts to ultimately ferment the beer and provide a nicely dry, peppery core to things. This was brewed at De Proef Brouwerij in Lochristi-Hijfte, Belgium, which members may recall as being a frequent brewer of Mikkeller’s out-there (but dialed-in) creations. This beer uses Hallertau Blanc hops both for a kettle addition and dry-hopping—“to produce...
