This pitch-black imperial stout is devilishly smooth, even when young; given time, tannic molasses turns to rich chocolate, licorice spice to soothing plum pudding.
这款帝王烈性黑啤酒呈深黑色，即使在新鲜时也极其柔滑；经年之后，单宁糖浆味会变成香浓的巧克力味，甘草香料则会变成清爽的李子布丁味。

2. Alaskan Brewing Co. Smoked Porter, 6.5% ABV
2. Alaskan Brewing Co. 的烟熏波特啤酒，酒精含量6.5%

After a few years, the alder smoke turns richer and less sharp, the dark malt gets syrupy sweet and a bracing cold-night nip becomes a warming frontiersman's breakfast redolent of maple-cured bacon.
经过几年的熟化，桤木的烟熏味会变得更加浓郁柔和，深色麦芽变得像糖浆一样甜，寒夜里让人精神一振的小饮已变身为拓荒者热气腾腾、散发着枫木熏肉香气的早餐。

3. Hair of the Dog Adam, 10% ABV
3. Hair of the Dog的Adam，酒精含量10%

A boisterous roomful of distinct flavors when fresh -- dark chocolate, espresso, a wisp of cigar smoke, cacophonous and loud. A year's rest or more trains those voices into a warmly lilting chorus.
新酿中截然不同的味道（黑巧克力、浓咖啡，还有一丝雪茄烟味）带来满屋喧嚣，嘈杂而又吵闹。经过一年多的存放，这些声音会变得和谐起来，成为带着暖意的轻快和音。

4. Jolly Pumpkin Oro de Calabaza, 8% ABV
4. Jolly Pumpkin的 Oro de Calabaza，酒精含量8%

A straw-hued, bottle-conditioned brew, aged in barrels with a bit of wild yeast, Jolly Pumpkin's flagship starts perfect and only gets better -- sliding from sweet, fruity golden raisins to zesty dry Champagne.
Pumpkin这款瓶中熟成的旗舰佳酿啤酒呈现稻草般的色泽，啤酒在桶中熟化时加入了一点野生酵母。这款酒新鲜时就很完美，随着时间推移更是愈加美妙——甘甜、散发果香的金色葡萄干逐渐变身为热辣的干香槟(Champagne)。

5. Ommegang Three Philosophers, 9.7%
5. Ommegang的Three Philosophers，酒精含量9.7%

Young, this strong blonde Belgian quadruple is sweet and hot, rum soaked cherries and caramelized figs. Bottled with a bit of live yeast, it'll dry out in time, honing a sharp, peppery edge.
这款酒力强劲的四重发酵比利时啤酒色泽金黄，新鲜时甘甜而辛辣，带有朗姆酒渍樱桃和焦糖无花果味。这款酒装瓶时加入了一点活性酵母，口味会随时间推移而变干，打磨出一种犀利的胡椒味。

6. Sierra Nevada Bigfoot, 9.6% ABV
6. Sierra Nevada的Bigfoot，酒精含量9.6%

A British-style strong beer, or barley wine, with a decidedly American hop-centric twist. Viscous with Chinook hops' throat-coating pine and citrus resin, this monster sweetens into old age.
这是一款英国风格烈性啤酒（大麦酒），并带有鲜明的美国烙印，即突出酒花味。Chinook啤酒花让这款啤酒如同散发松树和柑橘芳香的黏稠树脂，包裹着饮酒者的喉咙。陈年后，这头“怪兽”会变得温柔起来。
