Heavy Seas - Extraordinary Beers
Our Heavy Seas line represents our highest expression of the brewer's art. Each beer is naturally bottle conditioned, intentionally leaving a small amount of live yeast in the package to naturally carbonate the beer. In addition, bottle conditioning adds subtle complexity and allows the beers to evolve over time (within reason), not unlike fine wine. We proudly present our Heavy Seas beers for the true beer afficiniado. As of now, all of these beers are limited release seaonals. Remember, it's Heavy Seas that separate the men from the boys! |

A dry Imperial stout with rich black color and aromas of roasted coffee, molasses, dark chocolate, toffee and caramel. Rich, powerful, and lingering. |
This ale is pure hop power but perfectly balanced with a rich malt character. Floral and aromatic, the hop character is enhanced by the technique of dry hopping, a traditional method of increasing aroma. |
This beer is brewed in the Belgian Saison style (country farm house ale). A potent yet delicate ale, brewed with a unique Belgian yeast which develops a spicy, fruity flavor. Enormously complex. |
We call this beer an Uber Pils - a pilsner style bock lager. Rich, malty, and well rounded but with a firm structure of noble hops. Surprisingly pale in color for such a powerful, complex beer. |
Loose Cannon Hop 3 Ale - called Hop 3 (hop cubed) ale to reflect the enormous amount of hops in this beer: over 3 pounds per barrel! Also the beer is hopped 3 ways - in the kettle, in the hop back, and dry hopped. Winner of the Overall Best of Show Award in the Maryland State Governor's Cup 2005 Competition and voted the #1 IPA by Mahaffey’s Pub. |
Created to celebrate Clipper City’s 10th Anniversary – extremely limited and “vintage” dated – this extravagantly malty barley wine will show well upon release but continue to evolve for years. |
