In 2006 it was Deranger Imperial Red, 2007 Olde Reliable Barleywine, 2008 Moose & Squirrel Russian Imperial Stout and this year….

Auld Battle Axe- a Scotch-style Ale commonly called a “Wee Heavy.” Battle Axe is a dark amber ale that went through an extra long boil creating a pronounced malt flavor. This is, of course, a fuller bodied, higher alcohol ale with a malty caramel and slight roasted character.
