Beer Descriptions

Rush Hour – Breakfast Stout 7.2% ABV
Rush Hour is our full-bodied breakfast stout that was created in collaboration with local roaster Café Corazón in Fresno, CA. Each year we use a different strain of coffee hailing from different regions of the world to provide a very unique experience. The coffee is roasted and ground just days before each batch and is cold pressed and infused into our chocolate milk stout. This combination creates a creamy, bold, robust, yet silky smooth breakfast stout. We have truly captured the essence of Breakfast in this beer and hope you “Enjoy the Rush!”

Autumn Rush – Barrel Aged Hazelnut Imperial Breakfast Stout (Barrel Project #2) 11.8% ABV
Autumn Rush is the second release of our Barrel Aged Project Series. This Imperial Breakfast Stout features an infusion of hazelnut and locally roasted coffee. We took three different Tioga-Sequoia specialties and aged them in a blend of High West, and Heaven Hill whiskey barrels. Look for bold flavors of fresh roasted coffee, hazelnut and dark chocolate, with delicate flavors of oak, bourbon whiskey, and dark fruit as it warms. Enjoy now or cellar for later.

I Want S’more – Dessert Stout 7.2%
Our elegantly delicious milk stout that is meant to be the second variant in our dessert stout series. We infuse our milk stout on Organic Ecuadorian Cocoa Nibs, Madagascar Vanilla Beans, and natural marshmallow flavor to represent a similar experience of a S’more. The perfect beer for sharing with friends over an open fire or as a dessert. Only made in limited quantities throughout the year, this beer will have you saying “I Want S’more!”

Piece of Cake – Dessert Stout 7.2% ABV
This elegantly delicious sweet stout was created to be the perfect dessert beer. We age our chocolate milk stout on freshly ground coffee, Madagascar vanilla beans, and toasted coconut to represent a similar flavor experience to a German Chocolate Cake. When you find yourself looking for something different, grab a Piece of Cake!
