What the brewers say

“Imperial stout aged in ex-tequila barrels, then blended with freshly roasted coffee and cinnamon.”

What our panel thought

“Cinnamon dominates the nose, continues into the sip, and on through the finish. Coffee is noticeable but plays second chair with chocolate, caramel, vanilla notes. A green-pepper note on the finish. Boozy heat is restrained and enhances the cinnamon spiciness.”

What our editors thought

“Big coffee and cinnamon in the aroma, with just a touch of pepper. Spice drives the sip with a drying tannic quality, highlighting the woodiness with light body and low sweetness.”

Good Land Brewing Co. 120 Shilling

“Big red-apple and toffee aroma with notes of oak. Pastry malt and caramel flavors. Medium spicy alcohol, dates, figs. Low banana and pear esters. Rich toffee and caramel malt.”

Living Waters Brewing Company Euphrates

Bold aromatics of milk chocolate, caramel, and coffee in the nose are complimented by a healthy suggestion of a boozy melange of spirits. Dark chocolate coffee bean in combination with boozy raisiny oak. The sip hits first with a nice sweet chocolate note that fades into a lightly bitter roasted coffee flavor like a nice mocha. As that bittersweet flavor fades, the oaky booze notes emerge, with hints of vanilla, rum, and whiskey, and that boozy heat lingers into the finish. Very low carbonation, remains warm without being hot.

Creature Comforts Brewing Co. BA Awaken, My Love

“Aroma of espresso, red fruits, dark chocolate, vanilla, red hots. Surprisingly intense pepper, cinnamon character with coffee, honey, espresso, cassis. Big and sweet, but not cloying. Nobody is missing the alcohol.”

New Belgium Dominga Grapefruit

New Belgium wood cellar blender Lauren Limbach was gifted a new foeder that she aptly named Dominga—a play on the Spanish word for Sunday. She first created a mimosa-inspired golden sour called “Dominga: Goddess of Brunch.” Now we are excited to introduce the cocktail-inspired version, Dominga Grapefruit Paloma. Inspired by the classic cocktail of Mexico, Dominga packs a refreshing combo of bright grapefruit and lime flavors, along with agave and a pinch of salt.

Firestone Walker Oaktoberfest

Oaktoberfest is our oak-inspired homage to the great German tradition of Oktoberfest. We go the extra mile of maturing this beer in French oak barrels to create an amazingly smooth mouthfeel. The result is a classic German festbier with a hint of West Coast hoppiness. Grab your stein, don your lederhosen, and enjoy!

Firestone Walker Parabola ’24

Parabola is always a beast of a beer, with intense flavors of black cherry, dark chocolate, vanilla, and roast coffee—yet each annual release also bears its own subtle imprint. For this latest edition, we aged the beer for a year in 12-year Elijah Craig barrels. These coveted bourbon barrels imparted signature notes of charred oak, caramel, and cinnamon, taking the Parabola experience to new heights. Pour some out in your favorite snifter; behold the impossibly opaque color as you allow it to warm up a bit; and then let the dark magic of Parabola stun your palate with its unrivaled flavor and complexity.
