SADIE if you want velvet and oak whispers,
WAR DROBE MALFUNCTION if you want aggressive hoppy punch.
SADIE is a meditation—12% sneaks up on you through layers of vanilla and char. WAR DROBE is a declaration: 60 IBUs of pine and caramel intensity that doesn't apologize. Pick based on whether you're winding down or firing up.

SADIE
SADIE hits different because the barrel work is restrained—you taste the beer first, then the oak creeps in like it's got all night. There's a soft chocolate malt base, almost creamy, with subtle bourbon vanilla that never dominates. The 12% ABV is deceptive; it warms rather than burns. This is what happens when a brewery trusts the process.
WAR DROBE MALFUNCTION
WAR DROBE announces itself immediately—60 IBUs isn't shy about pine resin and grapefruit pith. Under that hop assault is a genuine red ale backbone: caramel malt sweetness that keeps it from being one-dimensional. The 10.3% ABV gives it weight without feeling boozy. It's built for a palate that wants flavor to take a stand.
