Make Room!
Our enormous abomination has escaped our brewery and was last seen on it’s way to liquor stores where it will undoubtedly leave havoc in it’s wake. Colossus is dark amber in color, full-bodied, and perceptively sweet with notes of apple and a surprisingly tame alcohol presence on the palate in light of its staggering 21% abv. This astounding alcohol content (verified by the Siebel Institute) was achieved through fermentation alone; no alcohol was introduced at packaging nor was the product distilled. It was brewed in 2006 and aged like a wine or brandy to allow its unique flavors to mature and alcohol presence to mellow, but make no mistake, it’s still everything that it’s name implies: Colossally flavorful, colossally potent, colossally good beer.
This leviathan is only the beginning. In the coming months watch for the releases of DuClaw Brewing Company’s Black Jack Russian Imperial Stout, Pax Nemesis Imperial Alt Ale, Serum Double IPA, and more intriguing brews!

The Devil is in the House
Or rather, your local liquor store. That’s right, the Brewer’s Association of Maryland Governor’s Cup gold medal winner in 2006, 2007 and 2008 is now available everywhere in 22oz bomber bottles. The 2009 vintage of Devil’s Milk epitomizes the American Barley Wine-Style Ale. A full bodied, amber ale with a thin, persistent, off-white head and a complex flavor profile with an assertive hop bill. A backbone of Columbus hops for bittering (75 IBUs) creates a solid base for for the mesmerizing citrus flavors and aromas of the palate dominating Amarillo hop finish and warming alcohol presence (10.6% alcohol by volume). One sip and you will believe.
This unholy Barley Wine-Style Ale is only the beginning. In the coming months watch for the releases of DuClaw Brewing Company’s Black Jack Russian Imperial Stout, Pax Nemesis Imperial Alt Ale, Serum Double IPA, and the biggest beer ever brewed in the state of Maryland, the 21% abv Colossus High Gravity Hybrid Ale.
