God,
in His goodness sent the grapes
to cheer both great and small;
Little fools will drink too
much, And great fools not at
all.

is the liquor for boys; port
for men; but he who aspires
to be a hero must drink brandy.

to fine Bordeaux and Madeira.
To prevent a sparkling wine from foaming out of the glass, pour an ounce, which will settle quickly. Pouring the remainder of the serving into this starter will not foam as much.

Mayflower Brewing Company
Samuel Adams Imperial Series
Founded in 2007 by a tenth great grandson of John Alden, beer barrel cooper on board the Mayflower, we are dedicated to celebrating the history and legacy of the Pilgrims by creating unique, high-quality ales for the New England market.
Samuel Adams brewers are once again answering drinkers’ call for bigger, more intense craft brews with the Samuel Adams Imperial Series.
The Samuel Adams Imperial Series offers beer lovers intense versions of some of their favorite traditional beer styles by boosting the quantity of ingredients and testing the limits of each traditional style.
With more robust and complex flavors and nearly twice the alcohol by volume of your average beer, each style in the Imperial Series is intended to be savored and appreciated like a fine wine.
Brewed with the finest organic malts and hops, our IPA features a bright-minted copper color and a crisp, yet smooth hop bitterness. Pale and crystal malts come through with a malty caramel sweetness, balanced with aggressively clean burst of fresh hop flavor in the middle palate without lingering bitter astringency. A strong floral and citrus character from generous dryhopping blends with strawberry esters from our house yeast strain for an inviting and satiating aroma. From grain to glass, our beers are fresh, pure, and organically certified to the highest standards.
Dogfish Head's signature product is its line of India Pale Ales (IPAs), which are offered in three varieties: 60 Minute, 90 Minute, and 120 Minute IPA.
As a brewery, Dogfish Head's output tends toward experimental or "extreme" beers, such as their tongue-in-cheek "Liquor de Malt," a bottle-conditioned malt liquor which typically comes in its own brown paper bag. Their products often use non-standard ingredients, such as green raisins in their "Raison D'Être". Some of their beers, including the WorldWide Stout, 120 Minute India Pale Ale, and the raspberry-flavored strong ale Fort, are highly alcoholic, reaching 18% to 20% alcohol by volume (typical beers have around 3% to 8% alcohol by volume).
Appearance:
Perfectly clear amber-orange
topped with smooth
and creamy off-white
head.
Smell:
Caramel maltiness.
The malt dominates
the nose, not much
in the way of hops.
Taste:
Rich and malty...
wheat/grain, grass;
earthy. Light hops—very
crisp and clean
of the Noble variety.
The "malty"
has caramel, whole
multi-grain bread,
sweetness in a molasses
kind of way (i.e.,
not too sweet, slightly
bittersweet and
thick).
Mouthfeel:
Smooth, medium-bodied.
Creamy rich.
A nutty twist to a traditional European Brown Ale. Dark brown in color with a hazelnut aroma, a rich nutty flavor and a smooth malty finish.
