Our Winter Beeracle is a warm, deep mahogany ale with rich, complex malt flavours and a sweetness to compliment the season. The warmth of the beer is punctuated by deep malt flavours from chocolate malts, a hint of vanilla in the aroma and flavour, and a dry citrus finish. All the flavours come together to create a rich, delicious winter ale.
This beer is a brand new recipe for Dead Frog Brewery and it will be replacing the previous ’Christmas Beeracle’ that we had as our Winter Ale.
Ingredients: Water, malted barley, hops, yeast, vanilla extract, orange peel
Malts: 2 Row, Biscuit, Cara 60, Chocolate
Hops: Cascade, Perle
First batch: November 2012

Has a thin head with kind of a dark lager body that’s got modest carbonation. Aroma is caramel and syrup, some ginger spice. Flavour is a heavy smoked feel with notes of hazelnut with slight spice finish, hints of swamp. Kind of cloying mouthfeel. Just about average for a darker seasonal brew.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a deep dark amber-tinged brown with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of chocolate, with notes of cinnamon further back. Flavour is surprisingly nice, with loads of sweetened chocolate dominating. Not getting a whole lot else of the other spices in here. Kind of a cheap gimmicky beer, but I think this is done very well. Enjoyable fun beer.

Bottle - Toast and cocoa with some light vanilla and nut. Deep clear mahogany with a decent beige head. Dark malts, nutty and some cocoa. Decent, but nothing particularly special.

Dark brown., sweetish and vanilla. I mean it really smells awful: thin nuttiness and overblown vanilla. It’s all vanilla in this and I just can’t do that.

Bottle from Boundary Crossing, Vancouver
Mahogany color, hazy, with small head. Aroma of cheap chocolate and Christmas spices. Good body strength; the flavor of cheap chocolate, vanilla and spices is even stronger; it has a mild minty/herbal touch, and the final bitterness is vegetable, chicory, rather disturbing. Some alcohol warmth.
Not very pleasant.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Medium mahogany brown colour with minimal white head. Aroma of sweet vanilla, cloves, and chocolate malts. Taste is predominantly milk chocolate, light though, not creamy. Has a mild hop finish.
