We take recently emptied barrels and refill them with our Winter Warmer English-Style Dark Ale. We then age this majestic ale for 10 weeks, resulting in a skillfully balanced, ambitious blend of dark malts and English hops, complimented by dark fruit, raisin and vanilla characteristics. The oak is very apparent, adding additional depth and complexity - yielding an ale that is large in personality. So raise a glass of holiday cheer!

12 ounce can from Tavour. Nearly opaque dark brown pour. Frothy tan head. Earthy, oaky roasted malt aroma hints at burnt sugar and dark currants. Rich, roasty malt flavor upfront. Complex notes of brandy soaked raisins, oak , bourbon, vanilla and treacle. Warming alcohol in middle. Wonderfully complex and flavorful. Sticky mouthfeel. Outstanding.

12 oz can from Tavour. Aroma is caramel, cola, chocolate milk, raisin, licorice. Pours black with brown edges and a one finger beige head with decent retention. Taste is moderately sweet, finishing with a light acidity and light lingering bitterness, with strong raisin flavors, some chocolate, licorice; slightly boozy. A bit rich. Perfect carbonation and creamy mouthfeel. Good.
