Commercial Description:
Al Boccardo’s holiday ale won Best-in-Show at the first ever Triumph Pro-Am homebrew competition last July. Now we’ve brewed up a batch based on Al’s recipe and here it is! It’s a strong (6.7abv) ale flavored with Al’s special blend of spices. We’ll be bottling some and sending it to the Pro-Am competition at next year’s Great American Beer Festival.

07.01.07 Princeton. As is my Eagles playoff gameday tradition, I took a quick run out to Princeton for a few sips at my favorite brewpub. I was surprised to see this one still around since it was tapped on New Years Eve and I figured it would have been gone by now.

It’s a dark cherry wood color with no head and nothing resembling activity in the glass. Some vigorous swirling seens to encourage some oxygenation. Spicy aroma is savory and rich, a bit like an autumn potpourri with some dried fruits (citrus rind). Body is thin and slick, but seems fitting for the beer. Distant hops, somewhat citrus and a ate bite. Long lasting spice with lingering licorice notes and a slight astringency to the finish which does help to bring the beer together in the end. Oh yeah! What a run by Westbrook!!! 49 yards and three broken tackles for the score! E.A.G.L.E.S.!

rich aroma of nutmeg and lavendar. first sip is flat but sweet. body a little uneven, but periodic highlights of nutmeg and malt. smooth mouthfeel with a coating of thyme and anise. uniqueness of the spice and smoothness combined gives another point to the score. Thanks to "osbo" for a kind delivery.

cask, tapped tonight-pours a retaining light tan head that laces with mahagony color. Aroma is cinnamon, ginger, dark/medium malt, secondary citrus. Taste is dark/medium malt-some sweetness, cinnamon, ginger, secondary citrus—hops bitterness, faint nutmeg. Mild carbonation. The recipe is Al’s, winner from the Princeton home brew competition, brewed by Tom Stevenson. Nicely done!
