New Stuff….

Janes Beer Store Presents:

Mad River, Brewer’s Secret. How do you possibly improve the excellence of Steelhead Porter? Age it in Heaven Hill Bourbon barrels, with fresh vanilla beans added of course! This limited edition Porter has complex malt characteristics balanced with a mild hop profile, taken to a whole new level by forward notes of bourbon, oak and vanilla. Smoked and peated malts lend added complexity and a mild smokey flavor that melds perfectly with the southern charms of decadent bourbon flavors. 9% Abv

Mad River, Kick Start. Deep, dark mahogany in color with a luscious tan head, this imperial porter boasts aromas of decadent chocolate and fresh coffee. An astoundingly rich malt explosion fused with sweet and nutty coffee flavor lays into the palate, leaving the taste buds clamorous for another sip. 8.2% Abv

Mad River, Humboldt Brownie. Deep brown in color with rich aromas and flavors of fresh brownies, this Double Brown ale is food for the malt lover’s soul. Brewed with cocoa nibs, coming in at 9% Abv

Eel River, Triple Exultation. An English-Style Old Ale, this beer is dark, rich,with hints of soft currant fruit and molasses. 9.7% Abv

Deschutes, Chasin’ Freshies. Like fresh powder, it’s a seize-the-moment thing. This year Deschutes highlights the Lemondrop hops from Yakima Valley in Washington. At harvest, they rush the hops from the vine to their kettles to ensure they capture the purest, juiciest essence of the hop flower in every beer. Enjoy the bright, bold aroma and flavor that comes but once a year. 7.4% Abv

Flat Tail, Mustached Rye’d Red. Crafted using Scottish floor malted barley, rich caramel malts, and a hint of spicy German rye for a solid malt backbone. Hopped with West Coast, New Zealand, and Australian hops for a pungent, tropical hop aroma. 8% Abv

Big Al Brewing, Time Capsule March ’15. This is a 4-grain Petit Saison, a classic table beer originating in the farmhouses of Belgium. Citrusy, tropical fruit funk and bready malt aromas with an explosion of fruity melon-like flavors finishing lightly tart and dry with spicy hops late in the finish. 3.5% Abv

Shady Oak, Sonamatastic. This is a Rustic Farmhouse ale made with a good portion of raw rye malts. This one spent six months aging in French Oak Puncheon barrels, with different bettanyomyces yeast strains, including one that was captured in the wild in Sonoma County. The end result produces a beer that is floral, peppery, and dry, with an earthy wild yeast character, that will increase with aging. 7.1% Abv

Shady Oak, Groovalistic. This is a Belgian style ale, heavily hopped with late kettle additions of mosaic hops. Its then dry hopped to levels of lunacy with more of the same hops, and finally, it receives a dose of brettanoymyces before bottling. 5.2% Abv

Cheers!!!
