Firefly Amber Ale has been a staple in our brewpub for the past 5 years. After 4 years of brewing our beloved amber, I decided to change things up a bit and double the recipe. Twice the amount of malt and hops went in to our kettles and created something fantastic, something SuperFly! To take this new creation to the next level we allowed it to age inside brandy barrels for 8 months. Big notes of biscuit, caramel, toffee, and tantalizing brandy character that contributed fruity complexities and hints of American oak. Pair with stinky cheeses, bread pudding, and beef burgundy.

Bottle thanks to jrallen34. Pours muddy brown with tan head. Nose/taste of brandy barrel, caramel, toffee, biscuit and sweet malt. Lots of warming alcohol in the finish. Medium body.

Sample at the Jackie O’s Bottle Sale on 08/27/2011. Murky brownish-amber color with a thin and compact off-white head that burns away steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Boozy aroma with some phenols and malt. Medium body with flavors of caramel malt, brandy and touches of tart fruit. The finish is sweet malt at first and leaves a tinge of astringent alcohol behind. A little disjointed overall.
