Full House (Gold Over Silver)
In celebration of a fantastic year at the 2006 Great American Beer Festival and with inspiration from our hop guru we have brewed Full House. While celebrating our win of three Gold medals, two Silver medals and "Large Brewpub of the Year" on the festival floor, Ralph Woodall of HopUnion said, "Three golds and two silvers... that's a full house!" With that idea in our heads and an odd desire to make beers with more hops and alcohol we designed this beer, an Imperial American Brown Ale. Based on our Gold medal-winning Doryman's Dark Ale, Full House is rich, dark red-brown in color, with an aroma of caramel, toasted malt, and cocoa-like chocolate malt with a pronounced floral Northwest hop aroma. The sweetness of the chocolate and crystal malts blend beautifully with the assertive flavors of Cascade and Mt. Hood hops. Full house finishes clean, balanced, warming and satisfying.
