- Malts: 2-Row, Crystal 40, Munich, Crystal 120, Chocolate
- Country: United States
This Scotch Ale presents an attractive deep ruby-amber color in the glass, capped by a modest head of beige foam. Per the style, this brew offers up a richly malty aroma with deeply toasted notes, bold caramel, touches of dried fruit, and hints of woodiness, earth, and hay. Scotch Ale, also known as Wee Heavy, is the most robust form of Scottish ale and is produced with large amounts of malt, which naturally leads to elevated alcohol levels and...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz

- Serving Temperature: 50-55º F
- Suggested Glassware: Snifter or Tulip
- Hops: Mt. Hood, Columbus
- Malts: 2-Row, Munich, Crystal 75, Black Barley
- Country: United States
It's our pleasure to bring you one of Dick's limited-production beers, their delicious Barely Wine. This nearly 10% ABV brew pours a deep red color with a head of khaki foam, and offers up a big and bold aroma profile that's both malty and hoppy. Look for rich caramels, a hint of molasses or brown sugar, an impression of spice cake, gorgeous fruitiness conjuring dried fig and raisin, touches of aromatic wood, and a mild citric impression...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz

- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 28
- Serving Temperature: 50-55º F
- Suggested Glassware: Thistle Glass, Tulip, Snifter
- Hops: Bravo
- Malts: 2-Row, Pale Chocolate, Crystal 77, Barley, Carafa 3
- Country: United States
Reformation Scottish Stout pours a very dark brown, almost black, with mahogany flashes and a robust head of tight, light brown foam that retains well before dropping to a persistent collar. On the nose, look for notes of deeply toasted bread crust with touches of roasty char, along with dark chocolate, cocoa powder, impressions of brown sugar and scorched caramel, and a bit of earthy, spicy hops. As we take a sip, this brew opens with plenty...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz

- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 20
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
- Hops: Mt. Hood
- Malts: 2-Row, Aromatic, Wheat Malt, Crystal 75
- Country: United States
Richly amber in color as it sits in our glass, and topped with a lasting head of beige foam, Dick's Mountain Amber Ale offers up a classic amber ale aroma. There's definitely a malty undercurrent here, with noticeable caramel and a toasty edge. Look for a clean, mildly herbal hop note to add an extra dimension. Amber ales can be a bit of a catch-all category, but most are brewed with an emphasis on the malts, and that's true here as well, though...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: Double IPA
- ABV: 8.6%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 75
- Serving Temperature: 47-52º F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Snifter, IPA Glass
- Hops: Bravo, Centennial, Columbus, Simcoe, Citra
- Malts: 2-Row, Crystal 120, Cara Malt
- Country: United States
This big double IPA from Wooden Cask pours a clear golden-amber hue capped by a sticky head of off-white foam that persists nicely before dropping down and lacing the glass on its way. As one might expect from the name, this brew presents plenty of citrus and Citra hop character on the nose, with bright citric aromas tending towards orange, grapefruit, and tangerine. Look for some secondary pine and herbal character plus a floral overtone, while...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: American IPA
- ABV: 6.0%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 60
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass, Pint Glass, Mug
- Hops: Simcoe, Cascade, Citra, Amarillo
- Malts: 2-Row, Crystal 60, Carapils
- Country: United States
Sometimes naming a beer is hard and it's best to just keep it simple. That's what happened here. This IPA started off as a test batch the Dick's team called, well, Test Batch, and after they decided to make it a more regular offering, they simply decided to name it Batch 202, which we think has a good ring to it. This IPA pours a hazy golden-orange hue with a robust head of persistent foam. Look for the nose on this one to come through quite...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: American IPA
- ABV: 6.5%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 50
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass, Pint Glass, Mug
- Hops: Bravo, Columbus, Centennial
- Malts: 2-Row, Wheat Malt, Crystal 40
- Country: United States
Wooden Cask's Pacific Time IPA presents a gorgeous crystal clear copper-amber color in the glass, topped by a fluffy cap of off-white foam. On the nose, look for a Pacific NW hop profile offering candied citrus with a resinous edge plus herbal and floral touches, atop an undercurrent of caramelized malt. On the palate, a solid central malt backbone offers a nice dose of caramel alongside mild toastiness. The hop aromas are well-realized in the...
- Bottle Size: 330-ml
- Style: Maibock
- ABV: 7.5%
- Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
- Suggested Glassware: Flute, Pilsner Glass, Stange
- Country: Czech Republic
“What’s a maibock?” you ask. Also commonly known as a Helles Bock, it’s a variant of bock that’s lighter in color, brighter in flavor, and generally a bit more assertive in the hop department. On the pour, Primátor Maibock presents a rich golden color with a sizeable off-white head that leaves some foam clinging to the glass as you drain it. We found the malty aromas to be pretty big on this one, topped by some spicy noble hops; expect a...
- Bottle Size: 330-ml
- Style: Hefeweizen
- ABV: 5.0%
- Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
- Suggested Glassware: Weizen Glass
- Country: Czech Republic
Pouring a very hazy golden color topped by a voluminous head of bright foam, this hefeweizen, or weizenbier, certainly looks the part as it sits in our tall weizen glass. Despite not being a particularly common style among Czech brewers, this brew delivers all the classic Bavarian yeast-driven notes we look for in the style: banana esters, clove and coriander spice, and bubblegum impressions. A wheaty, bready note underlies it all, while...
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
- Style: Whiskey-Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout
- ABV: 12.5%
- Serving Temperature: 52–59° F
- Suggested Glassware: Small Nonic, Tulip, or Snifter
- Country: United States
As one of our two featured Rare Beer Club selections this month, we’re pleased to be able to include an exclusive release from Bank Brewing Co. in Hendricks, Minnesota. Bankruptcy is the brewery’s hefty imperial stout aged inside Wyoming Whiskey barrels, and it’s one of the best barrel-aged beers we’ve found in recent months. Aside from through the club, the only other spot that this will be available is at the brewery’s tasting room in Hendricks.
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
- Style: Strong Belgian Blonde Ale
- ABV: 10%
- Serving Temperature: 45–52° F
- Suggested Glassware: Chalice, Tulip or Goblet
- Country: Belgium
De Proef’s K-O is one of our favorite beers to date from this Belgian brewery—and we’ve had a ton of them over the years. Bright, explosive fruitiness matches with peppery phenols and sweet candied notes, resulting in a potent Belgian blonde ale that still stays super nimble. Spritzy carbonation and a precise fermentation profile keep everything on point. K-O has seen very limited U.S. distribution, with only about 25 cases being sold here...
