Elevation Apis IV
From Elevation Beer Co. – Apis, the genus of the honeybee, is in homage to the hardworking honeybees of Colorado that provided the caramelized honey we use in making this fantastic beer. IV is a nod to the four people who came together to turn Elevation from a dream into a reality as well as to the beer style this Belgian Dark Strong Ale loosely adheres to. This beer is designed to be the perfect way to enjoy a cool Colorado summer night with friends, dreaming up your next great idea on a porch or next to a campfire much like we did. Drink big, dream big.

Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Aroma: A box of chocolates and sassafras. I am aware that somebody makes a quad called “a box of chocolates”, and that’s exactly what my beak smells in this instance.
Taste: Dark chocolate, bread crust, spicy hops,caramelized dark fruit.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with very lively carbonation.
Overall: This hit the mark on a quad, very rich and malty. For 10.7%, I was impressed with the absence of alcohol heat/booziness. Great job from these rookies.
