hAUSTUS

Pale Ale

The pale counterpart to Black Habit, best described as a Belgian pale with Northwest influence. Aroma is fresh and slightly spicy, and the mouthfeel is silky and effervescent. Tropical fruit flavors lead to a noticeably hoppy finish. Designed to go with meals. ABV about 6.7%.

St. Benedict

Farmhouse Ale

A session ale in the farmhouse tradition, this beer gets its name because it was first brewed on March 21 and first served on July 11, the two annual feasts of St. Benedict. Bears the fresh aroma of yeast. Complex flavor for a lighter beer, with a slightly tart and peppery finish. Stands well as a cold beverage on a summer day. ABV about 4.7%.

Tyrant

Cascadian Dark Ale

A Cascadian dark (black IPA) made with a Belgian yeast. The malts establish a smooth roast-and-chocolate foundation, to which the hops overlay an herbal-floral dimension. ABV about 7.4%.

St. Michael

Munich Helles  style

Designed after the Munich Helles as a golden, malty, grainy lager. Smells and tastes light and clean. ABV about 6%.

St. Raphael

Belgian Tripel style

Modeled on the Belgian tripel style. Rich and inviting complexity, surprisingly smooth for a higher-alcohol beer. ABV about 9.2%.

Dark Night

Special Dark Ale

A seasonal ale available each winter. Modeled after imperial stouts. The aroma hints at the dark fruit flavors the beer will deliver, such as plum and raisin, but the tongue will also encounter toastiness, molasses and licorice. A good beer to contemplate during cold weather. ABV about 9.5%.

Please note: The list above is not comprehensive and you may find more in the taproom. And, not all beers listed are available all the time. Some are seasonal, and others we simply run out of for a time. We hope you will find something you enjoy on your every trip to the St. Michael Taproom. Taste and believe!
