Great Divide Hercules Double IPA $6.99/22 ounce bottle

Origin: Colorado.

Style: American Double.

Alcohol Content: 9.1%.

Beer Advocate Rating: A-.

Brewery notes: "Hoppier, maltier and with more alcohol than a standard IPA, Hercules Double IPA definitely is not for the faint of heart. Hercules Double IPA is, however, an elixir fit for the gods. A brash but creamy wonder, Hercules pours a deep orange-coppery color, forming substantial lace in the glass. Hercules Double IPA delivers a huge amount of piney, floral, and citrusy hop aroma and flavor from start to finish. A hefty backbone of nutty, toffee-like malt character balances Hercules’ aggressive, punchy hop profile. 85 IBU's."

Great Divide Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout $8.59/22 ounce bottle

Origin: Colorado.

Style: Russian Imperial Stout.

Alcohol Content: 9.5%.

Beer Advocate Rating: A.

Brewery notes: "Crack open Yeti Imperial Stout's sophisticated sibling - Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout. Although these beers come from the same clan, they have entirely different personalities. Aging on a blend of French and toasted oak chips infuses a subtle oak and vanilla character into Yeti’s already intense chocolate, roasted coffee malt flavor and hugely assertive hop profile. 75 IBU's"

Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout $6.99/22 ounce bottle

Origin: Colorado.

Style: Russian Imperial Stout.

Alcohol Content: 9.5%.

Beer Advocate Rating: A.

Brewery notes: "Yeti Imperial Stout is an onslaught of the senses. An almost viscous, inky-black brew, Yeti opens with a massive, roasty, chocolate, coffee malt flavor that eventually gives way to rich toffee and burnt caramel notes. Packed with an enormous quantity of American hops, Yeti’s hop profile reveals a slightly citrusy, piney, and wonderfully dry hoppy finish. 75 IBU's."

Beer Advocate Rating: A-.

Back in stock! Beer Advocate Jason Alström says, "Appearance: Slightly hazed pale amber with a thinnish white lace. Smell: Touch of honey like sweetness, soft vanilla and medicinal phenols that are a little herbal. Malt is evident and yeast gives an earthy character to the aroma. Notes: Quite the alcoholic brew, big boisterous and complex. Perhaps over the top but still a brew to reckon with.

Style: American Wild Ale.

Alcohol Content: 7.6%.

Beer Advocate Rating: B.

This is a new arrival, and there is very limited quantity available. Brewery notes: "For the past couple of years, we've been working with several strains of brettanomyces (wild yeast). We found one and deemed it the best for it's tart flavor and funky, fruity aroma. Adding black mission figs for a subtle jammy aspect, hibiscus flowers for an herbal bouquet and hazy sunset hue, and white pepper for a bit of spicy twang, we've created FIFTEEN - a unique drinking experience inspired by the wild farmhouse ales of Belgium. Though immensely complex today, more flavors will emerge with time, so throw a few bottles in your cellar for future celebrations. 19.2 IBU's."

Origin: Colorado.

Style: Märzen/Oktoberfest.

Alcohol Content: 9.3%.

Beer Advocate Rating: B+.

Brewery notes: "Copper color. The Kaiser once said, "Give me a woman who loves beer and I will conquer the world." If the Kaiser and his significant other had tipped this bottle, we'd all be "sprechenden Deutsch!" We took all that is good in a traditional Oktoberfest - gorgeous, deep copper sheen, massive malty backbone and spicy, floral, pungent noble hops - then intensified each into this, an Imperial Oktoberfest. 24 IBU's."

Alcohol Content: 8.7%.

Beer Advocate Rating: A-.

Just arrived for the 2008 presidential election, and there is a very limited quantity. Brewed only once! so get it now. "A great example of what hops can add to a beer besides bitterness.

Finishes with a juicy hop impression rather than a bitter drying note." - Beer Advocate reviewer ZAP.

Beer Advocate Rating: A.

Brewery notes: "Color: Black. Old Rasputin a rich, intense brew with big complex flavors and a warming finish. 75 IBU's." Beer Advocate Todd Alström notes: "Black as night, with a brown chunky head that seems to crawl, rather than stick, to the pint glass. A very impressive cascading effect when poured. Highly roasted malt aromas and alcoholic to the nose. Smooth, potent and espresso like with a high burnt malt and hop bitterness that finishes on the sweet side to say the least. Not a beer for the faint of heart, but rather barley wine lovers and chocolate fanatics."

Origin: California.

Style: American Strong Ale.

Alcohol Content: 7.2%.

Beer Advocate Rating: A-.

Todd Alström, Beer Advocate review: "A dark brown beer with a creamy off-white head; good retention. Aroma was incredible with a complex floral, herbal, citrus and woody nose. At first taste: creamy and smooth in the mouthfeel. Then strong mint, followed by strong hoppy/pine-y herbal flavour and juicy citrus (grapefruit!!); big hop bite. Oak anchors the big malty sweet flavours and carries thru to the dry finish with strong notes of wood. The aging added a whole other depth of complexity and smoothness to the beer."

Bluegrass Brewing Jefferson's Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout $9.99/6-pack 12 oz. bottles

Origin: Kentucky.

Style: American Double Stout.

Alcohol Content: 8.0%.

Beer Advocate Rating: B+.

What sets this brew apart is being aged in Jefferson's Reserve small batch barrels for approximately 60 days. The malt sweetness is perfectly balanced by the roast barley and a nice hint of bourbon flavor and aroma. This bourbon barrel stout was first brewed December 22, 2005. The color is deep dark brown/black with a frothy cappucino head. The aromas reveal hints of bourbon along with roasted notes and some vanilla. Chocolate reveals itself on the tongue along with some bourbon sweetness, and whiffs of smokiness arrive in the aftertaste. This is not a heavy stout; in fact the brewery describes it as silky.

Style: Scottish Ale.

Alcohol Content: 8.0%.

Beer Advocate Rating: A-.

Brewery notes: " Old Chub is brewed with hearty amounts of seven different malts, including crystal and chocolate malts, and a smidge of US and UK hops. Old Chub also gets a dash of beechwood-smoked grains imported from Bamburg, Germany, home of the world's greatest smoked beers. Old Chub takes care of our deep affections for malt.The cola-colored beer (almost black) features a tan head, a creamy, skim-milk mouthfeel, and rich, semi-sweet flavors of caramel and chocolate throughout. The addition of smoked grains gives Old Chub a delicate kiss of smoke on the finish. Here is the beer equivalent of a lightly smoked single malt scotch, or your favorite dark chocolate." Amazing, you can get this quality ale in a can!

Stone Brewing IPA $4.99/22 ounce bottle

Origin: California.

Style: American IPA.

Alcohol Content: 6.9%.

Beer Advocate Rating: A.

Brewery notes: "Stone India Pale Ale is true to style with a huge hop aroma, flavor and bitterness throughout. Expect medium malt character with a heavy dose of over the top hops."

Origin: Sri Lanka.

Style: Foreign Stout.

Alcohol Content: 8.0%.

Beer Advocate Rating: A-.

Jason Alström, Beer Advocate, comments: "Full bodied with a moderate carbonation. Smooth and creamy without a doubt, coffee and unsweetened chocolate come to mind at the first taste. Fruity twang in the middle of black currants, this twang doubles with a roasted grain flavour that is perfectly balanced. Hints of charcoal and earth run middle to end as the alcohol as kicks in with a warming estery character. Finishes slightly sweet with vague remnants of roastedness. "

Origin: Lithuania.

Style: Euro Strong Lager.

Alcohol Content: 9.5%.

Beer Advocate Rating: C+.

Importer notes: "Pours a nice clear amber color with a hint of orange and little white head. Smell of malt and barley. On the tongue and in the mouth, the beer is crisp and refreshing. There is a bit of fruitiness in the flavor. A mild herbal bitterness helps balance some of the sweetness, but still quite sweet and sticky. Alcohol is very well concealed. A good amount of malts and barley give the beer a sweet taste that does an excellent job of masking the alcohol. Naturally fermented."

Stone Brewing Arrogant Bastard Ale $4.99/22 ounce bottle

Origin: California.

Style: American Strong Ale.

Alcohol Content: 7.2%.

Beer Advocate Rating: A-.

First introduced in November, 1997, this is an aggressive beer. Hugely complex, deep reddish brown, frothy and stick, there's a lot going on between the hops and malt in this brew. Beer Advocate Todd Alström says, "Medium bodied, yet rich, full and complex. Smooth, especially as it warms. Big malty sweetness with caramel, chocolate and toasted/roasted flavours. Alcohol prickliness teases the palate then the brew kicks its ass with an assertive hop profile. It's raw, coarse, a bit prickly itself, mildly rind-like. Helps to balance the huge malt flavours. Finishes with a lingering sweetness, caramel, roasted coffee. A bit grain/dry too."

Origin: Belgium.

Style: Tripel.

Alcohol Content: 10.0%.

Beer Advocate Rating: B+.

Beer Advocate Jason Alström notes: "Hazed sunset orange color. Dry grainy and soft nutty yeast aroma. Dehydrated orange, pineapple and peach smell from the fruity nose. Obvious bitter flavors from the yeast, hops and grain. Clusters of flavors hit at once with a nutty yeast, dry veggie hop, husk astringent grain and a peppery alcohol. A bold but boisterous triple that is over the top in some aspects, astringencies bring this brew down. Other than that is it not a beer not to shy from. Put this one up against a hearty meal rather than drinking it alone." The pictured 330 ml. (11 ounce) bottle is also available for $3.49.

Alcohol Content: 6.5%.

Beer Advocate Rating: B+.

From Oskar Blue's Cajun Grill & Brewery in Lyons, Colorado. Brewery notes: " Dale's Pale Ale is America's first hand-canned craft beer. It's an assertive but deftly balanced beer (somewhere between an American pale ale and an India Pale Ale) brewed with hefty amounts of European malts and American hops. It features a merengue-like head, a copper color, and a hoppy nose, thanks to a big post-boil addition of Centennial hops. To complement its hoppy first impression, Dale's also sports a rich middle of malts and hops, and a bracing finish. Dale's features 65 International Bittering Units." OMG! A great beer from a CAN!

Jason Alström (Beer Advocate co-founder) notes: "A top shelf brew, this one does it for me and then some. Pretty much sex in a bottle and the devil told me to drink it.

Brewery notes: "We brew Titan IPA for hop disciples - independent beer drinkers seeking out robust, flavorful beers characterized by their abundance of hops flavor, aroma and bitterness. As a big, aggressively hopped India Pale Ale, Titan IPA fills this bill - beginning with piney hop aromas and citrus hop flavors, and finishing with a rich, malty sweetness that is carefully balanced with crisp hop bitterness. Titan IPA weighs in at a considerable 65 International Bittering Units (IBUs). "
