Strength (ABV): 
8.0% ABV

Eye of the Hawk Select Ale is coppery amber in color and characterized by a luxurious caramel malt flavor, a substantial mouth-feel and a slightly warming yet dry finish. Like all of the ales brewed by MBC, Eye of the Hawk Select Ale is bottle conditioned. Bottle Conditioning is a traditional Old World technique whereby actively fermenting yeast is introduced into the mature beer right before bottling, resulting in the development of natural carbonation and rich flavors in the bottle.

Best With: 
Because of its rich body and deep flavor, The Eye is a welcome complement of meals. However, for all its heartiness, The Eye is also complex and subtle, making it a worthy complement to salmon, or pasta with cream sauces. As an adjunct to fine food, The Eye is a beer to be experimented with.

Generally speaking, amber ales are incredibly versatile food beers. Caramalized malts combined with the fruity esters produced during fermentation make amber ales great compliments to grilled meats, particularly beef and pork.

A Blend of 7 Different Barrel-Aged Recipes of Jewbelation
Strength (ABV): 
10.5% ABV

In 2010 we rebrewed every recipe of Jewbelation, our Extreme Chanukah/Anniversary Ale. We then aged each recipe to-date - Jewbelations 8-14 - in Sazerac 6-year Rye Whiskey barrels and blended them. The result is "Vertical Jewbelation," a truly unique and delicious journey through 14 year of Shmaltz!

2010 World Beer Championships - Gold Medal

Best With: 
Wood-aged beers run a gamut of flavor profiles, however their typical robust alcohol content and mellow character enables them to work well with desserts or alone as digestif beers. Dark chocolate and its various incarnations are highly recommended.

Self-Defined Style: 
Strong Ale
Strength (ABV): 
9.2% ABV

Permit us to indulge our creative side. Made with copious amounts of chocolate malts. Highlights include sweet chocolate aromas and dark chocolate and coffee notes in the finish. Smooth, deceptive and decadent. Not a stout, not a porter, pitch black and just plan fun. The chocolate malt and our grain mill disagree vigorously so we only make this from time to time.
