Commercial Description:
Mount Olympus Special Ale is one of those beers designed over a few pints, then adjusted over a few batches that just doesn’t fit into any beer style categories. The best we can do is describe it as a dark IPA. The ale contains a lot of two row malted barley with a little chocolate malt and roasted barley for flavor and color. It is well hopped with Centennial for bittering and copious amounts of Cascade hops for flavor and aroma, including dry-hopping. The original gravity of this beer is approximately 1.060.

On tap at the brewery’s "One night stand" event. Pours a dark amber brown with a thin white head. Smells very nice, good ek goldings aroma and flavor too. There’s a bit more malt flavor in there than your normal IPA, i’d call this a weaker tasting imperial india pale ale. Pretty damn good beer though.

Dark amber. Roasted and citric. Chocolate notes as well as a touch of sourness. Pungent hoppy aftertaste and no hint of the alcohol. Medium body. Not a huge IPA, but a decent seasonal.
