Bad Conduct

Brewed for the holidays and designed to relish in each of the seven deadly sins, Bad Conduct is our Chocolate Maple Imperial Brown, aged on vanilla beans and American hard maple. We start with an oversized Brown Ale loaded with notes of cocoa powder and toasted almonds, then drown it in Vermont maple syrup till it's gurgling for help. While serving its month-long sentence in the fermenter, we rain down cocoa nibs like locusts till Bad Conduct tastes like a chocolate-dipped waffle in Dam Square at 3 am. Once it tastes right, we ship the beer off to rest on vanilla beans, maple wood, and even more maple syrup. The vanilla is to help bridge the maple and chocolate flavors to the roasty, nutty ogre of a base beer. The American hard maple adds a nice level of tannins that helps to balance out this beer's giant body and viscosity and also provides subtle flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg. Lastly, adding more maple syrup exemplifies our disdain for restraint when brewing for the holiday season. When all is said and done, Bad Conduct Chocolate Maple Imperial Brown is an unforgettable head-on collision where breakfast meets dessert, and Thanksgiving meets Krampus. Show Less
