Commercial Description:
This fantastic brew began its life as "Charlie", the third installment of the Brewer’s Select Series. It is now part of our seasonal lineup and will be released in the month of January. It is an intricate dark ale with a touch of smokiness. The rich malt flavor, crisp bitterness and smoke reach perfect equilibrium in this brew. At 7.5% abv, Fireside Ale will warm you up as the temperature drops.

Pours brown with a tan head. Smells of smoke, some roasted malt, caramel. Tastes smoky and roasty with some peppery splashes on the finish. Enjoyable.

12 oz bottle courtesy of ditmier. Pours a lightly hazy brown color with a big beige head that has good retention. The nose is faint with sweet malts, molasses and some smoke. The taste mirrors the aroma with more emphasis on the sweet malts, less on the smoke and a bit of a light toffee flavor. The palate is a bit on the thin side. The finish is short and dry. Overall: This one coulda benefited from a better hop presence and a more robust smoke flavor, but its strengths outweigh weakness, still quite tasty.

Cask. Dark brown to black body with a tall froth of creamy head. Sweet maltiness, light smoke, very faint, chocolate, and licorice. Flavor of roasted malt, a bit of smoky wood, some roasted bitterness in the finish. Palate has a very nice creaminess, perfect body and mouthfeel.

Pours a clear brownish amber color with a small tan head. It has a fruity flavor with toasted nuts and a semi bitter finish. You have to be thinking smoke to pick any up in this beer. Not bad.

bottle, pours dark brown with medium tan head. Aroma is sweet dark candy sugar with cinnamon and a light smoke. Flavor is lightly sour malt and sweet toasted flavors mixing with some smoke in the finish. Nice and drinkable.
