Self-Defined Style: 
Belgian Strong Ale
Strength (ABV): 
11.0% ABV

This is the AleSmith incarnation of a Belgian Strong Ale. Horny Devil is an authentic Belgian Style ale, from the Belgian candi sugar right down to the yeast, a Belgian strain from a Trappist monastery in Belgium. In addition to the malts, candi sugar and fresh hops, there is also a little added twist from coriander seeds, which impart a refreshing citrus flavor to an outstanding ale. Belgian ale lovers around the world have raved about Horny Devil, and you will too. Bright straw/light yellow color and good head formation and retention when properly served. Appealing Brussels lace.

Best With: 
Horny Devil is a classic compliment to steamed mussels in broth.

Avery Salvation

Product - Avery Salvation
Brewed By: 
Avery
Self-Defined Style: 
Belgian Strong Golden Ale
Strength (ABV): 
9.0% ABV

The success of HOG HEAVEN and THE REVEREND clearly demonstrates that beer drinkers are willing to embrace "BIGGER" beers. In the fall of 2001, we decided that a lighter BIG BEER would complement its darker colored predecessors. Salvation has luscious apricot and peach aromas delicately interwoven with spicy suggestions of nutmeg and cinnamon. This heavenly soft, champagne-like elixir is cellarable for 3 years.

Best With: 
Enjoy this Belgian style strong golden ale as an aperitif. It also tastes great alongside pesto pasta dishes, sausages, cheese, Indian food, Thai food, delicate fish plates and shrimp. This beer could be used as a base for gourmet steamed mussels.

Avery The Beast

Product - Avery Beast
Brewed By: 
Avery
Self-Defined Style: 
Belgian Grand Cru
Strength (ABV): 
14.9% ABV

The Beast is a seducer - accommodating, complicated, powerful, dark and created to last the ages. With a deep burgundy color and aromas of honey, nutmeg, mandarin orange and pineapple, this massive and challenging brew has flavors akin to a beautiful Caribbean rum. Dates, plums, raisins and molasses are dominant in a rich vinous texture. Cellarable for 10+ years.

Best With: 
This rich Belgian style ale is best with creamy cheeses, chocolate desserts, or as a digestif.

Avery The Maharaja

Product - Avery Maharaja
Brewed By: 
Avery
Self-Defined Style: 
Imperial India Pale Ale
Strength (ABV): 
9.8% ABV

Maharaja is derived from the Sanskrit words mahat, - "great" and rajan - "king". Much like its namesake, this imperial IPA is regal, intense and mighty. With hops and malts as his servants, he rules both with a heavy hand. The Maharaja flaunts his authority over a deranged amount of hops: tangy, vibrant and pungent along with an insane amount of malted barley - fashioning a dark amber hue and exquisite malt essence.

Best With: 
A general rule of thumb with this beer is 'the spicier the better.' The impressive hop bitterness in this beer can stand up to just about any degree of spiciness in dry rubbed ribs, curry based Indian food, or wasabi spiced Japanese fare.
