My favorite single beer to date. Thick, strong, and lots of punch for your penny. Best on tap unless you save your early winter bottles untill late summer or fall.

This beer is a great winter brew. Its and easy call if its around January and you are in the beer aisle. Liquid goodness in a bottle.

Dark, almost deep brown with a reddish hue to it. Real smooth. Not a lot of hops, but the label says they’re using East Kent Goldings...no extra hoppy harshness, that’s for sure. Just enough balance to make this brew very warming, almost like wine. Kind of a hybrid between alt ale and barley wine. I’m not tasting added spices in this one, all of the complex flavors seem to be coming from the various malts and hops used in the process. I like it and I’ll bet it’ll cellar very well over a year’s time.
