The days are getting shorter and darker by the minute, but that doesn't mean there isn't plenty to celebrate. This year we decided to brew a Holiday Ale in the traditional English Style. The inaugural King Moonracer was mashed with floor-malted Maris Otter, flaked rye, and a variety of classic English specialty malts — creating deep colors and complexity.
Hopped with both Simcoe and Centennial and finished off with a secret blend of holiday-centric spices, this beer features rich notes of toffee and chocolate. Familiar spice notes mingle with the hops to create a well balanced hoppy finish. Look for bottle-conditioned stocking stuffers closer to Christmas!

On tap at Aslan, pours black with a small tan head. Nose is full of nutmeg and cinnamon upfront, with maybe a hint of cardamom and light ginger. Flavour follows accordingly, with a pronounced harsh spicy bitterness, containing cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom. Spicy and bitter, with a roasty base. Not my thing at all. Quite harsh and lacking cohesion.
