I felt the need to create a new thread for the new year.
Recently released to Hoarders (and Reserve?) members as of this morning:
Chocolate Rain
18.5% abv
$39.99 (before your discount)
Purchase Limit: 8 bottles
Society Exclusive

If you aren't already familiar with Chocolate Rain, it's time to get to know her, because she's about to become your best friend. Originally created as a single cask conditioned version of our Black Tuesday imperial stout for one of our release parties several years ago, Chocolate Rain has now taken on a life of her own. The base beer is a select few bourbon barrels of our imperial stout that can range anywhere from 16-21% in alcohol. Once those barrels are chosen, we spend an entire day slicing fresh vanilla beans to add to those barrels along with cacao nibs that are sourced by San Francisco based TCHO chocolatier. After a few months soaking up those rich, dessert-like flavors, the barrels are blended to taste and the result is one of the most decadent beers that we make. Rich in chocolate, vanilla, oak and bourbon, it truly puts the 'imperial' in imperial stout.

Sour in the Rye
7.6% abv
$19.99 (before your discount)
Purchase Limit: 6 bottles
This beer will see national distribution
Sour in the Rye is an American wild ale. A challenging beer to brew due to the substantial amount of rye malt, but you'll be glad we took the time. The character of the rye asserts itself with clove and pepper in the aroma and flavor, and contributes a full body not generally found in sour beers. Pleasantly sour with notes of tart cherry, rustic earth and vanilla notes from a year-plus of barrel aging.
Mocha Wednesday
19.2% abv
$39.99 (before your discount)
Purchase Limit: 6 bottles

Mocha Wednesday is the perfect follow up to a BlackTuesday. We've taken our bourbon barrel aged imperial stout and added cacao nibs from San Francisco based TCHO along with freshly roasted coffee from OC's own Portola Coffee Lab. The result is an invigorating version of our popular stout; layered with notes of rustic dark chocolate and bold, fruity coffee beans.
