This copper-colored ale balances the sweet floral aroma and taste of Sitka spruce tips with the clean crisp finish of noble hops. Spruce tips have a long tradition in Southeast Alaska, being used in beer by explorer Captain James Cook to prevent vitamin C deficiency among his crew during his explorations in the 1700s and being used today to flavor teas, syrups, jellies and Alaskan Winter Ale. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/AKWINTER.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/AKWINTER Another yearly fav of mine. Dark brown in color, dark malt aromas along with chocolate and caramel. Flavors dominated by roasty malt, chocolate and bitter sweet tones. Very good, as usual. Early in the release the hops are bright and have a pine / juniper flavor. This mellows out as the season progresses. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/DESCHUTESJUBEL.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/DESCHUTESJUBEL Trade Winds Tripel is a Belgian-style Golden Ale with a Southeast Asian twist. Instead of using candi sugar (typical for such a beer), we use rice in the mash to lighten the body and increase the gravity, and spice with Thai Basil. The result is an aromatic, digestible and complex beer.

LSD is an American strong ale with big body, a touch of smoked malt and a generous hop profile.  With its big earthy, piney flavors it is a tasty brew most Portlanders know and love.(6.9% a/v) http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/898351002015.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/898351002015 Brewed with 17 lbs. of yams per barrel (in other words, a lot of yams!), this autumn seasonal is a different take on the “pumpkin” beer style. Brewed with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, vanilla, molasses, and maple syrup, and fermented with our traditional Belgian yeast strain, this bold and spicy beer is perfect on a cold autumn evening.

This dark but surprisingly light bodied beer is very drinkable while still having character and complexity. Chamomile is added for its floral aroma, while the coriander and citrus peel give the characteristics of a traditional witbier.

Brown with a big head is has a massive caramel and plum flavor and aroma. The finish has a substantial bitterness due to the 12 varieties of hops; this beer takes you on a smooth velvety ride with a drying bitter finish. Kind of a cross between English Old Ale and a Barley Wine; it will age superbly for years to come. 12%, 12 hops, and 12 malts, awesome!!! http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/HEBRWJEWBELATION.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/HEBRWJEWBELATION Vintage 2005 sour tiple. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/062067029608.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/062067029608 Norrebros Julebryg is a unique Danish style Christmas ale.

Deep garnet in color it pours with a rather thin head. The aroma is mainly of piney resinous hop with a little crystal malt. The flavor is lightly bready, caramel malt with plenty of piney hop bitterness (44 IBU). Every year I try and convince my kids that Santa is lactose intolerant and would much rather have a beer like this with his cookies than a pint of 2%. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/095301130976.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/095301130976 Blond with a fruity spicy flavor and a dry herbal finish.

It is a Limited Edition Vintage to celebrate the first brew from each year's harvest of barley and hops. Only the first delivery of the year's classic barley malt 'Maris Otter' and the classic hop variety 'Goldings' from East Kent is therefore used. Fermentation is induced by J.W.Lees 'distinctive three-strain top-fermenting yeast. J.W.Lees Vintage Harvest Ale reaches 11.5 % alc./vol. once completely attenuated with a natural fermentation in open copper lined fermenting vessels that were commissioned in 1876 when the brew house was refurbished [J.W.Lees has been brewing at Greengate Brewery in Middleton Junction for six generations since 1828]. Pale in color it has a warm, estery aroma, a good deal of malty flavors on the palate, and a lot of hoppy dryness in the finish. Here is some info about the casks it was aged in. Willoughby's Finest Reserve Port [to mature JW Lees Harvest Ale] Specially blended for Willoughby's by Peter Symington, head winemaker at the Symington Family Port Companies, owners of Dow's, Graham's, Warre's and other famous Port shipping houses. This is a "Reserve" quality Port, not of a single vintage but of a superior blend, aged for up to 5 years in wood as opposed to the 2 or 3 years usually allowed for Ruby. It is full bodied, sweet and luscious, reminiscent of the style known in the 19th century as "Blackstrap". http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/062067028502.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/062067028502 Folks, I think I just got a new favorite barley wine. This one is soooooo intense and malty. I would almost call this one an “Old Ale” instead of a “Barley Wine”. Totally malt driven. Malty, rich and smooth with some fruity tones and more alcohol that the flavor lets on. For More Info… http://www.midnightsunbrewing.com/beer_arcticDevil.php http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/707408002024.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/707408002024 Now to me, this is what winter beers are all about. Out of all the winter beers I look forward to this one the most. It has a big malty fruity flavor that just does it for me. Not too hoppy, a light bitterness to finish well but nothing overpowering. The 8% alcohol is smooth but will warm the cockles of your heart. Best served only slightly chilled so as to bring out the smooth malt and play that against the fruity character. I have to give props to Golden Valley for producing a winter beer like no other. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/GOLDENVALLEYTBOM.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/GOLDENVALLEYTBOM I just had to crack one open once it hit the floor. It is even better than I had hoped. Smooth fruity, roasty, complex and strong. All of it and more. Another A++ "This beer is all about the ingredients,” says Alaskan brewer Michael King. “A ridiculous amount of hand-peeled and seeded whole gourmet Madagascar vanilla beans were used along with nearly 500 pounds of dark black cherries and a variety of specialty malts to create a dynamic and smooth experience. Aging on toasted French oak and the addition of vanilla beans during fermentation really round out the flavor.” Alaskan’s Baltic Porter is full bodied and jet-black in color with garnet highlights and a dense tan head, characteristics similar to a Russian Imperial Stout. The smooth, deep maltiness is accentuated by raisin and licorice notes as well as chocolate and mild coffee characters. The oak brings hints of bourbon and hot toffee. The higher alcohol content contributes to the warmth of this richly flavorful beer. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/AKBLATIC.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/AKBLATIC Pannepot is a wonderfully spiced, 10% dark Belgian brew that is everything I expect out of an exceptional Belgian and more. Dark brown in color this beer pours with a massive meringue like head. Sweet fruity aromas that come across fig, pear with spicy notes of cinnamon and a whiff of licorice. The flavor is malty with a touch of sweetness; fig is a major flavor with brown sugar, and hints of chocolate and clove. Great creamy mouth feel and the 10% does not get in the way. A+ http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782668922.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782668922 The Earth Monk being an Oud Bruin that pours a brownish red with a medium size head that has some good staying power. The aroma is woody with fruity cherry and a good spicy clove. The flavor is very tart and fruity with hit of grape, oak, cherries, vanilla, and it has malt of caramel and nut. The finish is of light hop and a dry tart lactic. No minimums, no maximums, order away. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/DESTRUISEARTHMON.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/DESTRUISEARTHMON An opaque medium brown color that pours with a sticky tan foam. The aroma is hoppy with citrus rind and a bit of chocolate cookie dough from the malt. The flavor is hoppy with oily grapefruit with some restrained caramel and spice. A great Christmas beer that has more hop presence than most of its imported brethren. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782671236.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782671236 Ummmmm, now this is a winter / Christmas beer to savor and cherish. Dark brown in color with mahogany around the edges. The head is very persistent with some amazing lace. That aroma is of heavenly chocolate covered spiced cherries. The flavor, like the aroma, is chocolate along with some same dark fruit and star anise. Do not serve this too cold, as it would do it a great disservice. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782671229.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782671229 Solid brown in color with some red tints. This spiced bock beer is smooth and malty with the spicing not over the top. The aroma is malty sweet with a cake like quality. The flavor is of toasted bread, slight caramel and a bit of roasty chocolate. It does have a reserved hop finish but you are left with an overall soft malty character. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782671144.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782671144 This massivly carbonated Belgian pours amber with a slight haze. The aroma is of candied fruit with spice of anise, clove with a bit of molasses. The flavor is malty sweet with a doughy quality, allspice, cinnamon and a dark fruit ester. The mouthfeel is a bit warming from the alcohol and the overall flavor threshold is not as aggressive as my descriptors may sound. A good example of the fruity Belgian Christmas style. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782671335.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782671335 Named for the three wise men.

Willoughby's Rayoso Cream Sherry [to mature JW Lees Harvest Ale] From Emilio Hidalgo in Jerez, this wine is drawn from their 8 year old Oloroso solera, and blended with PX and Moscatel to give the wine a rich, full bodied, sweet character without being cloying. Compared with the UK's leading brand of Cream, Harvey's Bristol Cream, Rayoso is darker, sweeter, fuller and deeper, with a long raisin finish. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/062067028519.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/062067028519 Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Urbock is unpasteurized. Fuller and richer in body than the Maerzen, it uses more malt and is matured at least one month longer (1,805 lbs. of smoked malt is swalled up in one batch [one batch= 340 cases].) It is only brewed once a year for the Urbock-celebration at the Schlenkerla tavern in Bamberg in early October http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/AECHTUR.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/AECHTUR Brown/amber in color, this winter ale pours with a small off white head.

Everything you love in a beer and more. Malty rich and caramely, this seasonal brew is not to be missed. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/STONEDOUBLEBASTA.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/STONEDOUBLEBASTA I have Goose Island’s “Bourbon County Stout” coming in very soon (written 11-3-2008). The distributor was able to get me pricing on it but was unable to get me the exact amount I would receive as my allotment. As such we are setting this up as a pre-sell with a first come first serve. I hope to get enough to keep everyone happy but at this point I really do not know what we will receive. This is the first time we have seen it up here in my area so I’m pretty jazzed :-) This imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels is big strong and tasty. This inky black stout pours with a dense brown head. The aroma and flavor are huge and maybe a little overwhelming. Notes of sweet chocolate bourbon, figs, prunes, roasted malts with a bit of an alcohol kick. But don’t just take my word for it, see what the guys at Beer Advocate have to say… http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1146/43034 http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/GOOSEBOURBONCOUN.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/GOOSEBOURBONCOUN It's back, get while the getting is good!!! Hair of the Dog “Blue Dot Double India Pale Ale”. It pours a golden orange color, the head and carbonation are low but as this was just bottled I’m sure both will increase very soon. The nose is citrusy with tangerine and grapefruit with a touch of caramel. The flavor is HUGE and hoppy without being too bitter. The drinkability is great and it should age well given that it has plenty of malt to make things interesting as the hops mellow with age. I plan to put a few down and see where it goes. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/799282022014.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/799282022014 Deep amber in color with a big rocky head that laces well. The aroma is resiny and citrusy with a whiff of grass. It has a full mouth feel and the malt comes through as caramel but it is the hop flavor that is what works. Not big on the bitter but the pine and grapefruit hops are well placed and the minor floral and spice hop tones peek though time and again. When chilled the finish is rather dry but as it warms up the caramel malt shows up more and more at the end. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/083783628128.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/083783628128 This one is one of the best offerings from Allagash. This quadruple is big and tasty. It pour a mahogany color and has a big sticky head. Spicy in the nose with hints of clove, pepper, and bread. The flavor is toasty with plum and apricot fruitiness. It finishes dry with a hit of coriander. Nice and warming at 10% this Belgian style ale will not disappoint. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/603675107953.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/603675107953 Golden amber in color this pale pours with a lacy white head. The aroma is of biscuit malt and floral hop with a touch of citrus. The flavor is bready with a hint of caramel. The hops are jasmine and grapefruit with a light but crisp bitter in the finish. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/602755002126.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/602755002126 Billed as an Imperial Oktoberfest, I was initially skeptical about it. I figured they would just get the alcohol higher and over hop it but that was just not the case. They did a fine job of pulling off an 9.3% Oktoberfest. A copper beauty that poured with a big head. The malt was big up front with a touch of fruitiness and the flavor moved on to an ample but not over done spicy noble hop character. The body was a little big for an Okt. but its not that surprising considering the amount of malt it takes to get to 9%. The finish is very clean as any good lager should be. A+ http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/796363001203.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/796363001203 Start with a big 8% IPA hopped with all New Zeeland hops and you have a base for an exceptional and unique (at least in the U.S.) brew that stands tall on its own. But brew that IPA and age it in top notch Islay Scotch casks and you end up with a weird, satisfying, combination of hop flavor, peaty Scotch goodness and a bitter finish that can stand up to all that peat. Although this brew might not be for everyone, it is for those of you who are into big IPAs or have a propensity for peated Scotch. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/BREWDOGSTORM.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/BREWDOGSTORM This 10% Belgian IPA pours a deep gold color with a large rocky head. The aroma is big in the pine – resin hops from the dry hopped Amarillos. The flavor is grassy and citrusy from the Goldings, and Cascade hops as well as the lemon balm. The valerian they have added gives it a dusty earth quality at the finish that makes it like nothing you have had before. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/062067030390.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/062067030390 This Belgian spiced amber pours with an ample bright white head. It is made with Pilsner Malt, Caramel malt, Hallertauer, East Kent Goldings, Dark & white candi sugar, vanilla & coriander. This gives it a smooth mellow smokey character with a light body and crisp cirtusy hit from the coriander. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/062067030215.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/062067030215 This Norwegian sour ale has been aged in oak barrels. The color is a cloudy brown with a thin white head. The aroma is tart with oak and a touch of dark fruit. The flavor is very tart with a woody earthy quality and a candy finish. The mouth feel is light and spritzy from the carbonation but the finish is not as dry as one would expect. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782669387.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782669387 This imperial stout has been aged in 1966 Port Dundas Scotch whisky casks. Not only does has it retained all of its gloriously roasted and chocolate flavors from the stout; it also has brought on the wonderful vanilla, floral, whisky flavors from the cask. It is subtle, mellow and complex. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/5060154910186.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/5060154910186 This oatmeal stout is breakfast in a bottle. Coffee and oats predominate the flavor along with some chocolate and mild hop bitterness. It is a strait forward stout that provides a few well-defended flavors and a high degree of drinkability with a full (but not thick) body. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/BIGSKTSLOWELK.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/BIGSKTSLOWELK Dark copper in color this imperial IPA / Fresh Hop has a big earthy and floral hop aroma with a hint of smoke and a thin but dense head. The flavor has that “Fresh from the vine” quality and a bit of sweet toffee malt. The finish is all hop with a lemon and grass character with a bitterness to match. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/BPHOPHARVES.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/BPHOPHARVES This is one hell of a barley wine. This beer pours a tawny brown with a good head. It has a malt and fruitiness like a Full Sail Old Broardhead but more hop presence than a Rogue Old Crustacean. You get a malty caramel hit up front with a light fruitiness then a powerfully bitter hop finish. It states a 90 IBU rating but this beer has more apparent bitterness than most 100 IBU beers I’ve tasted. The big hops and the 10% alcohol will allow this barley wine to age beautifully for 10 years plus. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/727916000336.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/727916000336 Tart crisp and appley. Fizzy and refreshing. This is a dry English cider that is quite thirst quenching and tasty. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/766895910007.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/766895910007 Ola Dubh (or ‘Black Oil’) is a collaboration between Harviestoun Brewery and Highland Park. It is based on Harviestoun’s award-winning Old Engine Oil. With more than a stylistic nod to the classic Imperial Porters (and Stouts) of the nineteenth century, this deliciously rich, dark, 8% a.b.v. beer is the first ale to be aged in malt whisky casks from a named distillery and, with traceable casks and numbered bottles with genuine provenance. This one being aged in Highland Park “12 Year Old” casks. Retaining the appearance of used motor oil from which the beer gets its name, it is deep dark brown, dense and oily. On the nose there are notes of true oil and cocoa as well as faint smoke and heathery peat from the whisky casks.

The (flavor) is exceptional; burnt and bitter notes with an interplay of late hop characters, orange oil, fruity tartness and then delicate, fragrant smoke. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/600519000739.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/600519000739 Ola Dubh (or ‘Black Oil’) is a collaboration between Harviestoun Brewery and Highland Park. It is based on Harviestoun’s award-winning Old Engine Oil. With more than a stylistic nod to the classic Imperial Porters (and Stouts) of the nineteenth century, this deliciously rich, dark, 8% a.b.v. beer is the first ale to be aged in malt whisky casks from a named distillery and, with traceable casks and numbered bottles with genuine provenance. This one being aged in Highland Park “16 Year Old” casks. Retaining the appearance of used motor oil from which the beer gets its name, it is deep dark brown, dense and oily. On the nose there are notes of true oil and cocoa as well as faint smoke and heathery peat from the whisky casks.

Why, you may ask??? Because it tastes like pumpkin, that’s why. Many pumpkin ales that are out taste of nothing but cinnamon and clove. Brewed with both the pumpkin flesh and the seeds it is easily THE best pumpkin ales I have tried. This, the best pumpkin ale in existence, pours a rich copper with a tint of brown. It has an easy spice aroma of cinnamon and allspice. The flavor is wonderfully rich and smooth. Pale, and caramel malt flavors with a deep pumpkin fruit. The spices of ginger and nutmeg comes through and a clove that is small and very well placed.

The aroma is all out hops with enormous lemon, pine and tangy fruit. The flavor is bitter up front with a big pine and lemon flavor with some apricot, bergamot, and grapefruit thrown in. The finish is big, lingering hop bitter.

The flavor has an oily, fruity hop note that is nectarine and pine with a tickle of caramel and nut in the malt. The finish has a good lingering bitterness but the main focus of this beer is the hop flavor. Not as bitter as many double IPAs but more flavorful than most. This is one of the heist rated double IPAs out there. I whish I had more of these to offer you so please bare with the inevitable “Out Of Stock”s we will see. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/892543000278.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/892543000278 Glowing orange amber color, it pours with two fingers of head.

The aroma is of tart berry and citrus fruit with a mélange of spices. The flavor is herbal and spicy up front then moves into pale malt and maple. It does have a tart hit in the finish but is still quite smooth. This non-hopped spice brew is unique and tasty. Here is an excerpt from the Shelton Brothers Import site. ------------------- Nørrebro Bryghus Launches Old Odense Ale – A Unique Beer Created in a Unique Way! It is with great pride and pleasure that Nørrebro Bryghus hereby announces that Old Odense Ale – a truly unique, challenging and charming beer, created as a joint brewing project between Sam Calagione of Dogfish Head and Nørrebro Bryghus – is now available through selected outlets in the US. The Beer Old Odense Ale is a 7.5 ABV beer that defies any known beer style or category. On the label we describe it as “Ale brewed with maple syrup and herbs”. But this says precious little about this bright and copper coloured beer with a very sparse and fragile head. The aroma is extremely complex and spicy, with notes of anis, tobacco, brettanomyces, leather and dried fruits. The body is rich and with a delicate sweetness that balances the sour tartness, making it far more accessible than a Belgian lambic, which would be the only well known style to which one could possibly compare Old Odense Ale. The Creation Following an initial contact between Sam Calagione and us at Nørrebro Bryghus, we agreed that Sam would visit Nørrebro Bryghus and do a guest brew in June 2007, and when we started discussing which beer to brew, Sam was quite adamant that it be an old, traditional Danish beer style. We therefore unearthed the obscure ‘Odense Old Style Ale’ web page with a translation of a 15th century pre-hop era gruit ale recipe from the town of Odense, and the process of converting this into something that might be brewed on a modern brewing system commenced. Not an easy task, which this list of ingredients might illustrate: Pale and dark barley malt, oats, fine syrup (in our translation: maple syrup form Sam’s dad’s farm in Massachusetts), smoked dark syrup, fir branches and fir bark, wood sage, hyssop, blackthorn berries, woodruff and star spice. The actual brewing of this beer was as fun as it was crazy and nerve-racking – stuff for an entire article (that actually has been written, but is yet to be published). Suffice to say here, that the amazing souring of the beer, that happened within 48 hours of fermentation, must be due to the potent ‘herbal juice’ hand squeezed by our honoured guest brewer from the herbs in the 7 huge gauze bags, and added to the wort kettle during the boil. How do I get hold of ‘Old Odense Ale’? Old Odense Ale is available in the US through our importer, Shelton Brothers of Belchertown, MA (www.sheltonbrothers.com). And don’t worry – the FDA has received samples for analysis for toxic substances (!) and has given us the green light to sell the beer in the US. Who and what is Nørrebro Bryghus? In September 2003 Nørrebro Bryghus opened its combined brewery, restaurant and bar in a former metal workshop close to downtown Copenhagen. The mission from day one was to contribute to a new evolution and expansion of the Danish beer culture. The Nørrebro Bryghus concept is based on creating the total experience – great beers, modern beer cuisine, excellent service in a unique ambience surrounded by award winning design and contemporary architecture. As it is the vision of Nørrebro Bryghus to supply quality beer to any venue where the customers expect the very best in craft beer, we launched our beers on bottles and kegs in 2006. Export began in 2007 with Sweden, Finland and the USA as the first markets importing Nørrebro Bryghus beers. As the first Danish craft brewery, Nørrebro Bryghus won two bronze medals at the 2008 World Beer Cup® in San Diego. Anders Kissmeyer, August 2008 http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/810434019178.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/810434019178 Clear copper with a thick white head with good retention.

At 9.6% this Imperial IPA is mainly for the hopheads http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/810434011516.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/810434011516 Nice black color with a light tan head. Big coffee licorice aroma with an earthy hop. The flavor is roasty, nutty, caramel, and honey. The hop bitterness is pronounced. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/810434014128.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/810434014128 This Danish barley wine style ale pours a rich brown with a tint of red. The head is thin but that is to be expected from the low carbonation. The aromas are of dark fruit (fig, plum) chocolate and sweet malt. The flavor comes across as toffee and caramel with ripe fruit and toasty malt. The full and heavy mouth feel makes for a fine creamy sipping brew and that is backed up by it being 12.5%. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/810434011509.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/810434011509 This Belgian Pale pours a bright yellow with an enormous head that falls very slowly. The aroma is bread/cake in malt with a fruity banana ester. The flavor comes across a bit doughy up front with plenty of fruity pear, spicy pepper, with a light, bright tart hop finish. A very tasty, easy to drink Belgian style. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/892543000025.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/892543000025 Hazy orange in color, this bottle conditioned pale pours with a dense off white head. The aroma wafts up hoppy with orange and flowers. A petite bready caramel malt flavor swims along side of a torrent of fruity hops that are tangerine, cumquat and a yeast ether of cherry. This is both unique and intriguing it is not your typical pale. A+ http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782671618.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782671618 [From the Importer] With joy, and a little bit of mischief, Fantôme brewer Dany Prignon dedicates this very bitter beer to all of the many varieties of brise-bonbons - literally, ball-breakers - in the world. Specifically, this beer is meant for wise-guys, braggarts, pains-in-the-ass, muck-rakers, trouble-makers, know-it-alls, stuffed-shirts, blow-hards, and bores, as well as nut-cracking, wind-bag, prattling-on, self-appointed experts on every-thing, and nose-in-the-air snobs, convinced they can do anything better than you. Dany intended to make a beer too bitter for a normal person to enjoy. The problem is, everyone loves it! Guess we're all just a bunch of brises-bonbons sometimes. [From Me] Ok this is one BITTER Belgian. Sure it is bitter for a Belgian beer but MY GOD it is bitter even for a NW beer. Over the top IPA style this baby has a bitterness that does not compare to anything else. I’m not too sure I can honestly say that it was enjoyable but it was one of those beers that you just keep sipping at and sipping at because it is so different and fascinating. One that keeps your attention and will not let you pull away. One that at least for me required sip after sip in order to analyze it as to what they did, what they put into it and where they were trying to go. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782668069.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782668069 This Belgian Pale pours a peachy orange color with a massive foamy head. The aroma is candy sugar sweet with a massive, complex fruity character that is plum, ginger, peach, banana, and clove. The flavor is also fruity and spicy as above along with some caramel, cardamom, grapefruit hops and a rummy fruity finish. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/689076598354.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/689076598354 This aromatic saison style brew pours a honey gold with a good head. The aroma is fruity pear with candy sugar, jasmine and spice. The flavor is of sweet ripe apple, dry earthiness and a peppery cinnamon finish. A very well put together saison. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/689076598255.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/689076598255 This beer is an American take on the Belgian Wit style. Golden in color with a fizzy head this beer has the orange coriander spiciness but without the free floating yeast (read filtered) or the cloudy unmalted wheat. What Kristal Weisse is to a Hefe Weisse; White Lighting is to a Wit. That is, all of the flavors are there and with it being filtered it makes the body light and the finish crisper and more refreshing. Not a classic Wit but it is even more refreshing on these warm summer days. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/690926000712.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/690926000712 Deep brown / mahogany in color with a thin tan head. This 9.5% Rauch Doppelbock comes with whiffs of fruit and a light roasted malt that is hidden behind the large rolling smoke aroma. The flavor has a grape plum hit up front with a chocolate and smoke finish. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/652482110113.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/652482110113 This smoked lager pours an amber yellow color with a thin but creamy head. The aroma is predominately smokey with an underlying pale malt. The flavor is lightly malt sweet with that great rauch malt smoke and a spicy herbal hop. The body is on the light side (which is nice) and the carbonation gives it a pillowy texture. So cook up some snitzel or a nice weissewurst and nock it back with this quite authentic German style Rauch. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/652482110052.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/652482110052 This Weizen Bock is cloudy brown with a medium bubbly head. The aroma is chocolaty malt with yeasty banana and clove notes. The flavor is of roasty caramel, cherries, and wheat graininess. The lower carbonation gives it a smooth medium body. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/652482110069.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/652482110069 This beer has a deep brown with red highlights and a sticky, lacey head. The aroms is malty sweet with dried fruit and floral hops. The flavor is roasty with creamy chocolate and a tart fruity hop finish. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782671649.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782671649 Pours a very dark brown with three finger of rocky head. Huge roasted coffee, nuts and a trace of smoke in aroma Coffee and chocolate are in the flavor with an easy hop hit at the end. The body is smooth a touch slick. A great porter. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782671878.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782671878 Its very dark amber color makes for a tan brownish head that is creamy and long lasting. The aroma is sweet with a fruity component along with a spicy citrus hop. The flavor is fruity with dark crystal and biscuit malts.

The aroma is fig/prune with hints of wood and vanilla. The flavor is lightly roasty with chocolate, dark fruit, vanilla and a small earthy wood. I could see this beer aging well into the 5 to 10 year range. There are not many beers out there that I can say that about but this has the power, complexity and the aggressive malt profile that will stand the test of time. If you have the fortitude, wax dip a few of these and forget about them for 5 or 6 years, and see if I’m right. I know that’s what I plan to do. Below is the description from Dogfish Head….. An unfiltered, unfettered, unprecedented brown ale aged in handmade wooden brewing vessels. The caramel and vanilla complexity unique to this beer comes from the exotic Paraguayan Palo Santo wood from which these tanks were crafted. Palo Santo means "holy tree" and it's wood has been used in South American wine-making communities. This beer is a 12% abv, highly roasty, and malty brown ale aged on the Palo Santo wood. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/638489000879.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/638489000879 Whoa Mamma!!!

Enjoy!! Hazzzah!! This classic strong double bock is everything one expects out of this world-renowned brew. Sweet and rummy in aroma with burly dark fruity character. Thick body with a smooth slick mouth feel. Big caramel flavors with raisin and prune flavors to boot. The 14% has a strong presence making this beer only for the stout of heart. Sweet and complex it is a fine desert beer that will only improve for a number of years. I think it is at it best after about five years of aging. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782502202.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782502202 This brilliant yellow gold lager pours with a two finger sudsy head that leaves some lacing. Lightly grainy sweet with a herbal hop flavor and a light grassy bitter finish. (Sold by the case only.) http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/088009050554.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/088009050554 Yellow / orange in color with a one inch bubbly head, this beers aroma exudes orange and honey while you pour and an additional pale malt comes though when you smell it up close. The flavor is honey and malt up front with a bit of orange peel and a touch of hops at the finish. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/BUFFALOBILLORANG.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/BUFFALOBILLORANG Bright yellow golden in color with a big foamy head. The aroma is of orange peel and coriander. The beer is almost spot on wit style with great wheat character and plenty of the accompanying spices including just a suggestion of grains of paradise. The fact that this wit is so fresh and so lively it out shines some of most classic examples such as Hoegaarden and Des Roc Blanch Double. The only thing I can say on the down side is it does not seem like they used any unmalted wheat (which is indicative of the style) to make it more tart and a touch cloudy. Then again, in their defense a cloudy tart beer may take many people aback, present company excluded. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/DESCHUTESBONDWIT.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/DESCHUTESBONDWIT If you are into the wild Belgian style Brett ales then this beer is for you. It pours a deep golden color with about an inch or so frothy head. The smell is funk tart with grape skin and dark fruit. Not so much on the barnyard side but it does have a nice leathery component. The flavor has a fruity apricot tartness along with some peppery nutmeg spice. A bit of the dark fruit aroma does carry into the flavor (fig??), which is a bit surprising for its golden hue. Not as crazy as many of its Belgian cousins but fun and more drinkable than some. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/AVERYANNIVERSARY.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/AVERYANNIVERSARY Heavy amber/red in color it pours with a creamy beige head. With a hop prominent nose the aroma comes across fruity (berry) and earthy. The flavor is malty up front with brown malt and caramel flavors. It has the tell tale Jolly P. tartness along with a bit of pepper and citrus zest; with an earthy hop bitter finish. The lively carbonation gives it a light fluffy body. The flavors are well match and the drinkability is high. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/897435000343.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/897435000343 We are now taking order for the Stone 12th Anniversary Ale. We should have it in shop on the 9th. Here is what the brewery has to say about it. “Our Anniversary Ale this year stems from 2 pilot beers that were brewed by members of Team Stone. The first was Jeremy Moynier’s incredibly delicious Oatmeal Stout, and the second was Jake Ratzke’s amazing homebrewed Imperial Stout that had authentic Oaxacan chocolate added to the boil. We loved both beers so much that we decided to combine the recipes to make this year’s Anniversary offering: Stone 12th Anniversary Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout. This beer pours deep black with a rich brown head of foam. The aroma is dominated by roast malt and cocoa. Upon tasting, the cocoa (we used unsweetened, unprocessed cacao sourced through our friends at Chuao Chocolatier) really comes through with a deep chocolate flavor and a long lasting bitter finish. The roasted grains used add coffee and licorice accents. It is a thick beer, but not sweet, with the addition of oatmeal in the mash providing a rich, silky mouthfeel that adds to the creamy texture.” http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/STONE12TH.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/STONE12TH Brilliant copper orange color with a frothy head. Plenty of toasty malt in the aroma along with a bit of orange fruitiness. The flavor is malty/bready with grassy hops. The bitterness is mild and there is some nuttiness as well. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/5060154910223.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/5060154910223 This Scottish IPA pours a perfect gold with a sudsy head that settles quickly. The aroma is lightly of grassy/citrus hops and pale malt sweetness. The flavor is very dry (not sweet) with a crisp gassy hop bitterness and only a small showing from the malt (very unusual from a Scottish brew) along with a bit a fruitiness from the yeast in the way of peach/pear. Light in body and lower in carbonation and dry finish make this one of the most refreshing IPAs I’ve had in a long time. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/5060154910216.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/5060154910216 I totally dig this beer. If you think about what you would expect from a Scottish Imperial IPA this beer hits the mark. Ok, when I think of Scottish beer I think of a beer that is malty. This beer is that, it has plenty of sweet pale malt to go along with its respectable hop quantity that is required for an IPA. The hops present themselves in an orange and grassy aroma and flavor. With higher gravity Scottish beers you tend to find some amount of diacetyl. This is a yeast product that imparts a buttery/butterscotch flavor. Now this is not normally found in IPAs but it does make for an enjoyable, unique flavor profile. The other thing I expect out of a Scottish beer is fairly low hop bitterness. That is not to say that Hard Core has low hop bitterness because it would not be an imperial IPA if it had. What I am saying is that the 65 to 75 IBUs balances well with the malt but is not the tongue scrapingly 90+ you find in most American Imperial IPAs. Even if you are a total hophead I think if you honestly evaluate the sensory experience that Hard Core provides, you will come to enjoy it as much as I have. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/5060154910247.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/5060154910247 These beers are highly limited runs of Brew Dog’s Imperial Stout that they have aged in some phenomenal Scotch casks but this one is from a sherry cask.

Imperial Stout aged in 1970 Glen Grant casks. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/PARADOX003.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/PARADOX003 AKA "Brew Dawg" This excellent brown/orange brew has it all going on; more than it fair share of hops with plenty of malt to go with it and a respectable alcohol content that is well masked by the high flavor profile. It’s sort of an “Arrogant Bastard” on steroids. This 9%er pours with a small tight head. It has plenty of Melanoidin and high lovabond crystal malts along with Simco and Centennial hops. The aroma is a mix of orange, cake and caramel. The flavor has a sweet malty base but it’s the 106 IBU hops that dominate the profile. With grassy orange flavor notes and a powerful bitterness at the end, the finish is quite dry http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/095301130563.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/095301130563 I have always loved this exquisite offering from Chateau Lorane and this years bottling has top all pervious vintages. This traditional mead pours a deep gold / orange color. By far one of the darkest I have seen available. The aroma is bright and lively up front with a sweet mead character and woody earthy tones from the buckwheat honey. The flavor starts off honey sweet then the acidity comes in to balance it out it moves to those wonderful subtle buckwheat tones and finishes with just a hint of mint. This mead has a unique flavors profile. It is sweet but well balanced and has a nice body without ending sticky. A+ http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/012967029031.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/012967029031 Golden with a medium sudsy head that falls quickly. Up front the flavors are biscuit and pale malt with a finish of lightly spicy grassy hops. The bitterness it not big but is enough to cover for the up from malt. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/748862060052.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/748862060052 This lightly amber lager has a nice head that sits well on the top.

The mouth feel is a tad slick after the bitter start while the flavor is of lightly toasted malt and grassy and orange hops. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/602691000088.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/602691000088 This NW IPA pours orange with a big creamy head. The aroma is of citrus hop with a malty underpinning. The flavor has grapefruit and resinous hops and a pale and crystal malt to go along with it. One rock solid IPA. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/602691000040.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/602691000040 Light brown in color with amber around the edges its heads starts well but falls to a skinny layer. The aroma and flavor are match in that they both have qualities of nut, cake, smoke and a touch of raisin. Sweet but not sticky, tasty and easy to drink. Not the powerhouse like an Ayaniger but more tasty than a Paulaner. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/748862060755.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/748862060755 This beautiful beer pours a clear red-orange with a ting of brown. The head starts big but does thin out. The aroma is bready with cloves and a hint of caramel. The flavor is sweet and fruity with doughy malt, aforementioned caramel and a tough of banana ester. The hops are there but not prominent, they give a nice bitter to wipe off the sweet but the banana comes back at the end and lingers just a while. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/748862060557.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/748862060557 Leave it to Dogfish Head to make an 18% fruit beer. This HUGE on the raspberries. Start to finish it is all about the fruit with a spicy kick at the end. It could use a little aging to clamp down the heat at the end but it should smooth out nicely. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/638489000718.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/638489000718 This 10% brew is made with black Raspberries and blueberries. It pouts red with a small head. The aroma is berry sweet. The flavor is sweet and fruity with wine tones and a spicy alcohol hit.

The aroma is all of sweet Jasmine. The flavor is lightly floral bitter hop with sweet golden malt and grassy jasmine notes. Not as bitter and hoppy as most NW IPAs but the Jasmine aroma and flavor makes this one of the best flower beers there is. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/ELYSIANAVATAR.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/ELYSIANAVATAR This oak aged Geuze pours a honey golden color. The head is small and fizzy. The aroma is pleasantly funky with tart acidity, cheesy, barnyard hay, with grainy malt.

Golden in color with a big head that falls quickly. The flavor is lightly sweet with a gingery spice and a medium hop bitterness. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/673562000018.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/673562000018 Barleywine Dutch style.

The flavor has a light toffee sweet malt along with some bread. The hop flavor is low but the yeast fruitiness comes though in the way of orange, apple and a light coriander. Although not the darker brown style of barleywine we all might be used to, this fruity strong import is quite a treat. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782669936.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782669936 The peaches are added during fermentation when the activity of the yeasts reaches the maximum vigor. The peaches are heated to 200° Celsius in an oven before being added in order to increase the flavor intensity of the wild peaches and eliminate the wild yeasts. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/062067029264.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/062067029264 This oak aged brew has an aroma that is big with peach, floral, orange, vanilla, lemon and a grassy herbal hop. The flavor fruity with apple, pear and a peppery spiciness with clove and cardamom. More hops than I expected and big dry finish with high carbonation that has a fluffy pillowy mouth feel. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/541397014039.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/541397014039 I’m not sure how long “Blue Moon” has been making the “Honey Moon” summer seasonal but this is the first time I have seen it. It is a Belgian wit style made with honey. The funny thing is that their honey version of “Blue Moon” is in fact drier than the regular version. Wheaty with a nice hit or orange peel and the dry finish smacks of a spicy honey. Refreshing, flavorful and well put together. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/071990095314.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/071990095314 Light straw in color with a with a tight creamy head. The aroma is mostly of pale malt. Lightly sweet with a fresh noble hop showing. This is a great Helles and what makes a great Helles is the perfect balance of very subtle flavors of malt and hops. No matter what any brewer / marketing dolt does there will never be an imperial Helles it is a contradiction in term and style. The Helles style by definition has a low flavor threshold so it should not be marked down for not being bold or assertive but rather it should be judged for its light, clean lager body and subtle interplay between flavors. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/748862060151.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/748862060151 This Weise bier pours a cloudy yellow with an appropriately massive head. The aroma and flavor is crisp with wheaty lemon and ester banana. Yeasty with a smooth mouth feel just a mention of spice. I really like this one and go back to it time and again. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/748862060359.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/748862060359 Deep mahogany red in color pours with two fingers of head. The aroma is grassy and earthy with dark crystal malts. Nice hop bitterness in the front flavor with a light caramel and plum fruitiness. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/898141001020.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/898141001020 Another oak aged Belgian it is dark dark brown in color with a creamy tan head. Its aroma has a sherry quality with a fruity vinous tone, vanilla and a touch of oak. The flavor has a coffee, cherries, apricot and earthy wood tones. Big prickly carbonation with 12%. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/541397015005.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/541397015005 Old knucklehead number 12 is aged in American Oak Bourbon barrels with big vanilla, toffee and sherry notes on top of the malty, fruity, well hopped barleywine. At this early stage the hops are very prominent with a stiff bitterness at the finish. Great for all of you hop heads but I for one am going to lay it down for 8 to 12 month and wait for the hop to die back a tad and let the fruitiness and barrel tones come forward. This beer is all kinds of good. Tasty and aggressive now with the excellent potential to be smooth and rich with some aging. It has been five years since the last knucklehead, Fred Eckhardt (well known Portland author) with the new knucklehead being John DeBenedetti who is the owner of the oldest beer supply company in the country right here in Portland OR (http://www.fhsteinbart.com/).

The aroma is vinous and tart. The body is light and the flavor is tart and fruity kind of cherry raspberry mix. The honey provides a sweet cinnamon spiciness to the mix. The finish is light with a bit of drying tannins. The chokeberries give it a wonderfully unique flavor and the light body is unlike all of the other Polish meads I have tried. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/729815081256.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/729815081256 This blackcurrant melomel pours amber with a pink hue. The aroma is lightly tart with currant and the honey comes through with a minty quality. The flavors start honey smooth but the current comes on quickly and leaves a nice tart finish. Definitely a sweet mead but the currants do their part to try and balance it out. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/5901346121754.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/5901346121754 Amber in color with slender off white head. Carmel malt nose with a pine hop. The flavor follows the aroma with a good bitter finish. Billed as a “India Style Red Ale” and that describes it quite well. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/095301026910.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/095301026910 Dark amber / brown color with a bubbly medium head. Roasty malts in the aroma with a light fruitiness and a bit of earthiness. The flavor is nutty with an easy malt sweetness. The finish as that light fruitiness (grape??), with a drying bitterness. This beer is an effortlessly enjoyable brew. Not too sweet, good complexity, not overly bitter with a great finish. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/810071000003.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/810071000003 This unfiltered sake pours very opaque milk-like white. The aroma is earthy and creamy with a slight tartness. The texture has a fine granular about it. The flavor starts with a light tartness. The creamy/smooth/grainy flavors come forward but die back leaving the tartness. The tartness does dissapear after about 5 seconds leaving a very clean finish. The tart, creamy, tart flavor profile is fun and tasty. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/084391057638.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/084391057638 This “Special Brown Ale” comes in a 7.5% and is made with cacao nibs and spices. Being a sour Belgian style it may not be for everyone. But for those of us who do enjoy a tart crisp brew this is pretty neat. The aroma is tart with fruity cinnamon notes. It does have a medium body to it but the tartness quickly overcomes it and lifts it off your tongue. There is a sweetness in there along with a “very ripe fruit” flavor, banana, spices and light chocolate. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/897435000053.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/897435000053 Orange gold in color this beer pours with a huge rocky head. The character is of lemon zest, orange, grass, and floral hop. The malt is bready and a little sweet. Spicy and resinous with the nicely funky brettanomyces. Great 8.5% Belgian. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/857283000346.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/857283000346 This dwojniak style metheglin (mead with herbs) is one part honey to one part water and aged five years in oak. Golden amber in color the aroma has a slightly woody herbaceous quality as well as an almost tropical (mango / pineapple) aroma from the honey. Big sweet up from that moves into a light candied lemon tartness and a spicy herbal finish. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/7298150830834.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/7298150830834 This amber is led by its malting with a nutty / crystal malt flavor and aroma with a spicy earthy hop. This organic amber has more flavor than most and is worth checking out. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/619917000265.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/619917000265 Deep amber in color, PGA pours with a thin head. The aroma is easy with grassy leafy hop and bready malt. The flavor is hoppy up front with a light bitterness and leafy herbal flavor. The brew finishes with a bready nutty malting that I quite enjoy. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/831524003082.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/831524003082 Spring Fever is a great Northwest rendition of a Belgian Grand Cru. It appropriately pours with a huge sticky head. The aroma is spicy with coriander (or is it ginger??) along with an orange hop and vague fruity yeast ester. Its body is in the medium range and the texture is creamy and smooth. The flavor is coriander with citrus rind that moves into a peppery spice and that underlying fruity yeast. Definitely more bitter that a classic Belgian would be but great in its own special way. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/831524003075.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/831524003075 It very very dark brown, almost black. The head is small but creamy head with tight bubbles. The aroma is of dark chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, with a touch of leafy hop and yeastiness. The flavor flows the aromas along with some additional current, anise and earth hops. An excellent example of the robust porter style. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/831524003044.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/831524003044 Orange in color with a large rocky head. The aroma start off with the grapefruit hops but also has a floral and herbal quality. The flavor has a great nutty biscuit malting and quite a stiff bitterness along with the leafy and grapefruit / orange hop flavors. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/831524003020.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/831524003020 Light golden in color it pours with a large frothy head. The aroma is of citrus and pine with a smidgen of malt. The flavor is good balance of malt toasty sweetness and hop bitter with citrus rind and pine. A standup APA with an exceptional fresh hop showing. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/611524900020.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/611524900020 This 9% "Imperial Pale Ale" is copper in color with little head. The aroma is big on tangerine / orange maybe with a little bread in the way of malt. The flavor sweet fruit hops at the start, mid-pallet changed to an aggressive grassy hop and the finish spicy with a medium bitterness and a light body. An outstanding brew that is both tasty and refreshing. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/611524900051.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/611524900051 This caraway infused mead is sweet, strong (21.8%) and is a force to be reckoned with. The deep herbal quality of the caraway is bold enough to stand side by side with the massive honey character. I thoroughly enjoyed this 750ml bottle of bliss but I’ll admit that I did it 3oz at a time. This big boy needs to be enjoyed like a port wine. That is sipped slowed, savored, and lingered with. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/062067029462.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/062067029462 With a SMV rating of zero, this sake wedges itself right in between sweet and dry. Admittedly this one is sweeter than most other Junmai Gingos I have tried. Sweeter tropical flavors dominate with melon and guava. For me this one can stand-alone or be paired with milder foods like chicken and pork. Junmai Ginjo milled to 60% and 15.5% alcohol. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/747846137209.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/747846137209 The Silver is drier than the Momokawa Diamond with the Silver being a SMV +7. his sake has a big nose that is crisp with pear, tart apple and steely mineral notes. It is an exquisite pairing with lighter fair and will enhance the flavor of many fish, vegetables and some shellfish without overpowering. It is a Junmai Ginjo milled to 60% and an alcohol of 14.8% and made fresh right here in Oregon. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/747846127200.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/747846127200 Semi dry (for a sake) with fruity melon tones as well as an earthy mineral quality. This quality Junmai Ginjo is milled to 60%, 14.8% and made fresh right here in Oregon. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/747846237503.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/747846237503 This brew is billed as an “Extra Pale Ale” and is somewhere between a standard pale and a golden. It pours a deep gold color with a medium head. The aroma is of grassy hops and a slight fruity ester. The flavor has a light cereal grain and a big floral and grassy hop. It has a medium body and bitter finish that lingers a while. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/095374970080.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/095374970080 Ok I’ll admit it, this is the kind of stuff I still get really excited about. Get ready for this, it is mead fortified with scotch. A wonderfully semi sweet mead mixed with a plumy, low (no) peat scotch. The aroma is rather perfumey, kind of lavender / baby powder along with the big honey and fruity smells. The flavor is honey up front with plum and apricot next and then moves into woody tones and has a slightly tannic finish. It may be 20% alcohol but you would never know it. I served it chilled and it had NO heat to it at all. Only rich honey fruit tones and went down all too easy. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/062067028465.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/062067028465 Highly carbonated and pale golden in color. Fruity brandy soaked fruit aromas with apples, vanilla, and pear. The flavor is intense, grainy and honey. The mouthfeel is big and smooth and 14% and tasty and one big ass beer that will age well and it is nice to see this beer back into the Samichlaus lineup http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782502240.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782502240 This beer is one of my all time favorites. This rich smooth sweet brown Belgian rankes up there with Rochfort 10, Chimay Grand Reserve, and a fresh Zatte Bie. Dark brown in color this beers aroma is caramel, figs with a lightly tart fruit. The flavor is prune, caramel, raisin, figs, and cinnamon. Smooth, rich and sweet and at 11% it is kind of like the port wine of beers. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782500710.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782500710 Light copper in color with a light grassy hop aroma. Pale malt flavor up front with slight bitter finish. If you are looking for something that is easy to drink and want to get away from the big hopped ales one usually finds on the shelves today, this is the one. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/342011.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/342011 This is a cherry infused Belgian brown. Brown bread, caramel and big cherry. Sweet fruity and delicious. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782500642.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/608782500642 This massive grand cru pours orange / amber with low carbonation and head. The aroma is very perfumey with honey, orange and spice. The flavor is malty and fruity with notes of toffee, apricots, baked apple, ginger, cake, and a whiff of banana. At 10% this beer is all a grand cru should be and that is strong and malty with tons of esters. Being in a 1 liter flip top bottle I can not ship this in a three bottle box. That will cause it to be ship on it side and the flip top will leak. These bottles MUST be shipped in a 6 or 12 bottle box. If you do order this in a 3 bottle box you WILL BE CHARGED FOR A 6 BOTTLE BOX, no matter what the website calculates. Sorry for the inconvenience but it is the only way I can ship this one. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/NIEUWLIGHTNIJMEG.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/NIEUWLIGHTNIJMEG This is an IPA that is copper and gold in color. The aroma is grass and orange fruity. The malt is a touch bready and low lovibond crystal. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/HENRYIPA.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/HENRYIPA This pack includes four each of six different beers from the worlds oldest brewery. With a 5% discount. [KIT] http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/LS000189.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/LS000189 IMHO this is the best Dunkel Weiss there is. The style is a fine balancing act that has the tart wheat on one side and the brown darker malts on the other. You want to add complexity and richer flavors with the brown malts but you do not want them to come across as sweet or to overpower the wheat. This beer does all that. It is a fine mix with a strong showing from the wheat, brown bread and toffee from the brown malts and the ever presence of the banana ester. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/752245113501.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/752245113501 If you want smooth and mellow this baby tops it. Nitrogen charged with a malty, caramel, graininess with just a ting of fruitiness. For all of you Carffrey fans out there, this is as close as you are going to get here in the US. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/084662006006.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/084662006006 This Bavarian lager comes from the oldest brewery in the world, they have been at it for a long time and it shows. The aroma is kind of lemony, and malty. It has a great head that forms a delicate white lace on the glass. The flavor is the perfect complement of malty/biscuit to lemony hop bitterness. A true classic. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/752245114508.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/752245114508 Much like its Hefe brother this German wheat beer has the perfect mix of tart wheat character, fruity banana ester and just a slight hint of spiciness. As with any good wheat beer it pours with a voluminous pillowy head. Since this is a Kristall Weiss (filtered wheat beer) the finish is crisper and the body a little lighter than the Hefe version. http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/752245112504.htm http://www.liquidsolutions.biz/product/752245112504
