Club/Brewer Notes:
Reserve Series 2014. Like your favorite cup of Cafe Mocha, Moo-HooChiato “Chocolate Espresso Milk Stout” put you in the right state of mind. take in the aroma of expertly roasted espresso from Jittery Joe’s and let your taste buds melt into the flavor of Olive & Sinclair’s award winning chocolate. Brewed with lactose sugar for a creamy mouth feel and a touch of sweetness, this is a Barista’s wish come true.

Mother Earth Brew Company

Hop Diggity

Imperial/Double IPA | 8% ABV | 100 IBU
Offered By: SANTA
Club/Brewer Notes:
This DIPA is a bad ass. Straight up. It’s hopiness isn’t just limited to the floral nose or lingering bitterness but a full hop flavor all the way through your palate. We bitter with a Super Alpha, and follow it up with a few flavoring additions throughout the boil. A massive dry hop of Simcoe and Amarillo create a huge aroma profile that really comes through in a big way.

Real Ale Brewing Company

Red King

Imperial Red Ale | 8.6% ABV | 75 IBU
Offered By: CHEETO
Club/Brewer Notes:
When the siren calls you go, and when the people speak the brewers answer. After much fanfare our Imperial Red has been crowned the Red King, the first of its kind to move from humble Brewers’ Cut beginnings to Real Ale’s year round royalty. This unflinching ale is deep crimson in appearance, demanding fealty to both its English malt heritage and a surfeit of American hops. Pay tribute to your king, and run with the wolf!

Drakes Brewing Company

DENOGGINIZER

Imperial or Double India Pale Ale (IPA) | 9.75% ABV | 90 IBU
Offered By: KAY JAY
Club/Brewer Notes:
In January of 2004, Drake’s brewers sought to create a beer to turn some heads. They crafted a massive Imperial IPA with a full body, smooth malt backbone, and an utterly irresponsible amount of pungent, dank, American hops. After three weeks in the tanks and one minor incident involving a pressure relief valve jettisoning across the cellar and nearly decapitating a brewer, a beer, and its name, were born. Citizens be warned, even without a tank valve careening at high speeds, Denogginizer has been know to blow a few minds.

Real Ale Brewing Company

Commissar

Russian Imperial Stout | 9.8% ABV | 75 IBU
Offered By: FATBOY
Club/Brewer Notes:
This noble brew evolved from its common cousins, porter and stout, by necessity to endure the long voyage to the Russian royal court. Colossal additions of American hops are used to balance the robust malt character and infuse this ale with their distinctly citrus-like qualities. The Commissar can be consumed now or laid down for further enjoyment. Take some home to share with friends and family at your court.
