Brewed in collaboration with Bauman’s Cider Company using 20% juice from their estate apples, this beer-cider hybrid inspired by hot mulled cider was aged in Jameson whiskey barrels for 6 months before bottle conditioning. Complex aromas of whiskey, apples, caramel, and pumpkin pie spice.

750 ml waxed. At only 20% cider, this is more beer than cider, but other than possibly American Strong Ale, it doesn't really fit in any other category. Aromas of whiskey, oak, caramel, apples, pumpkin pie spices [clove, nutmeg, cinnamon], vanilla, wet stone. Pours nearly clear amber-copper with a one finger bone-white head with decent retention. Taste has a moderate sweetness, some savoriness, some faint tartness and a moderately drying bitter finish. Tastes like it could have a Belgian golden ale or tripel-ish base. Different for sure. Pretty good.
