Drake's Brew Jolly Roger

Imperial Coffee Stout 2014

We brew a different beer style for our Jolly Rodger every year. For the 21st addition of our winter seasonal, we have made it an Imperial Red Ale. Be prepared for a big, malty, red ale, with a huge hop aroma. We mashed in with plenty of two-row barley, CaraRed and Chocolate malt for body and flavor. Then we hopped it up with Columbus for bittering, then for flavor and aroma – lots of Chinook and Cascade. Finally we dry-hopped in the fermenter with loads more Chinook and Cascade.

ABV: 8.75%
