Commercial Description:
Only Available during the Winter Holliday Season! Made with beet root and port wine.

Brewed to provide those whom we serve with a true European experience. We will periodically offer a very special beer in limited batch quantities. These beers are particularly “Belgian” in character, as no other country has persisted with the use of fruits, herbs, and spices in its special beers. Each visit becomes an opportunity to sample the wide variety of our family’s special brews. Ask your server what’s brewing at our house.

This dark red beer had a sweet malty aroma. Caramel dominated the flavor, with a few spices in the background, as I've come to expect in holiday beers. Finishes sweet, and the sweetness lingers around afterwards. Easily the best of their beers.

On tap at the brewery: Pours a rich murky brown with a thick tan head. Sweet bready Belgian yeast aroma. Body has a nice caramel toffee thickness, and good balance of light spice throughout. Nice complexity and very authentic tasting. By far the best beer I tried here.
