Commercial Description:
While celebrating our win of three Gold medals, two Silver medals and “Large Brewpub of the Year” on the festival floor at the Great American Beer Festival, Ralph Woodall of HopUnion said, “Three golds and two silvers… that’s a full house!” Full House is rich, dark red-brown in color, with an aroma of caramel, toasted, and cocoa-like chocolate malt with a pronounced floral Northwest hop aroma. The sweetness of the chocolate and crystal malts blend beautifully with the assertive flavors of Cascade and Mt. Hood hops. Full House finishes clean, balanced, warming and satisfying.

Does this brewery ever make a beer that isn’t amazing, well-balanced, and scrumdilliumptios? If so, I haven’t tried such brew. This one, is named to commemorate a full house of medals won by the brewery at 2006’s Great American Beer Festival (Three golds, two silvers). This 8% gem is an imperial version of the Doryman Dark--winner of a gold medal for best American brown ale. With a glistening, dark red-brown hue and pleasant chocolatey malt finish, this beer is one of the best balanced beer so far.

On tap at the 2006 Holiday Ale Festival. I heard a lot of rumors about this, first that it was an imperial brown ale and also that it was just imperial dorrymans dark. This brew had a dry cocoa powder taste, which being around xmas reminds me of drinking hot chocolate, good holiday tie in. Lightly toasty with a medium body and mild bitter finish. Very balanced brew that was excellent for a brown ale, but that is one of my least favorite styles.
