Big Bison Ale is an authentic Belgian Dubbel, a kin to the brew that originated in the monasteries during the Middle Ages. Lost for a while, the style was revived in the mid-1800’s. It is a rich, malty, full-bodied, very complex deep ruby beer. It’s malty sweet with notes of caramel, with dried fruit character. High alcohol emits a warming sensation and balances the malt sweetness. Serve at cellar temperatures, 54 to 57 degrees F. Enjoyed by red wine drinkers, it is not for the novice beer drinker.
The origin of IPAs is blurred, but Gunslinger Double India Pale Ale sets the standard today, having the most hops of any beer produced by Crown Valley. It starts with a rich, sweet malt base to which they add hops, hops and more hops of varying lineage. This brew will absolutely rule your senses. (For best taste, serve warm, 57 to 61 degrees F.)
