The first in the Turn It Up Series, this Belgian Dark Strong was crafted to welcome the holiday season with warmth and cheer. Brewed with caramel and Munich malts for body, this ale was finished with Belgian Candi Sugar derived from beets. During fermentation, our brewer added Montmorency Tart Cherries from Michigan, adding another subtle layer of complexity to this dark-ruby colored ale. After fermentation, Krampus was laid to rest in American Oak Barrels for 14 weeks. Once removed from the barrel it was aged for another 9 months prior to packaging. This beer is ready to enjoy now, but with proper cellaring, will further develop to allow more subtle flavors to shine through.
