Special Reserve Black Lager
Black with ruby highlights, this beer is brewed with German Pilsner, Munich and
roasted wheat malt for a toasted, slight caramel malt profile with a touch of
chocolate. A nice hop bitterness and floral flavor comes from Oregon grown Mt.
Hood hops. This beer was fermented cold and lagered for 8 weeks to provide a
smooth and crisp flavor.
Alcohol 5.8% ABV, Color 30 SRM, Bitterness 28 IBU

Belgian Style Double
One of the 3 notable styles to emerge from Trappist breweries in Belgium. This
Dubbel style of beer is amber in color and dry with toasted malt
aromas and just a hint of caramel. Fermentation with an authentic Belgian yeast
yields flavors of black pepper, clove and stone fruits. Alcohol 6.0% ABV, Color
20 SRM, Bitterness 18 IBU.
Food Pairing: Kurobuta Pork Osso Bucco with Smoked Apple Barbeque
Kurobuta pork is a Japanese name for Berkshire pork that comes from a rare breed of pigs,
dating back over 300 years to the English House of Windsor. Korobuta means "the
black pig" and probably refers to the darker color of this pork. It is the
highest quality of pork and, like its beef analogue Wagyu beef, it is known for
its meat marbling. The smoked apple barbeque sauce is made in house, using
Chef’s secret barbeque technique to yield a fresh, balanced and natural barbeque
without the high fructose syrups.

Aurora Black Ale
Dark and hoppy, all in the same glass. Our take on the popular Black IPA style
uses Aurora and Columbus hops for a pungent, piney hop flavor and aroma. A
moderate hop bitterness is balanced by flavors of toffee, toasted nuts and a
mild chocolate flavor. The use of bitterless black malt, lends a dark color with
ruby highlights, but does not contribute the heavily roasted flavors associated
with Porters and Stouts. Alcohol 5.5% ABV, Color 35 SRM, Bitterness 55 IBU
Food Pairing: El Trigal DOP Manchego Cheese
Manchego is a DOP cheese (DOP stands for
“Denominazione di Origine Protetta”, which means Protected Designation of
Origin), which can be made only from the milk of the Manchega sheep that
graze in the the region of La Mancha. The pattern on the rind honors a time when
the cheese was wrapped in sheets of woven esparto grass. This complex, full
flavored Manchego is aged 1 year.

Imperial Stout
Imperial Stout is an extra strong version of stout, which was originally brewed
by the British for export to Russia and the Baltic states. This style is opaque
black, oak aged with a warming feel from a higher alcohol content. Flavors of
toasted oak, bittersweet chocolate, coffee and dried fruit flavors are balanced
by a sweet finish. Alcohol 7.5 % ABV, Color 70 SRM, Bitterness 65 IBU
Food Pairing: Chocolate Torte with Imperial Stout Gelato and Hot Ginger Caramel
Rich and Flourless Hazelnut Chocolate Cake with
