This is our Christmas and Holiday beer! A deep red/brown Abbey Ale often called the Burgundy of Belgium. Its a rich but crisp Trappist style dark ale with a flavor like no other beer. It is brewed with a special Belgian yeast that imparts fruity and almost wine-like flavors and aromas due to aromatic esters and complex alcohols that are the byproducts of fermentation. Very aromatic and slightly malty with some residual sweetness and tartness and a low hop bitterness/aroma. This is a warming high gravity beer made to be sipped and enjoyed in the colder months.
