Brewed with Milk Sugar | Conditioned on Coffee & Holiday Spices
Tipsy Elves isn't your typical, holiday, spiced ale. The aroma of this festive brew is dominated by freshly roasted coffee, which presents itself as notes of roasted almond, chocolate mousse, and rum cake over a base of sweet, cereal malt flavors of graham cracker, toasted oats, and pie crust.
We cold conditioned this triple cream ale on freshly roasted coffee beans, Saigon cinnamon sticks, and a dash of cracked nutmeg and the resulting brew is a coffee lovers delight, reminiscent of sipping a thick, holiday spiced latte.
Tipsy Elves was brewed with milk sugar and drinks with a full body and enough sweetness to balance the alcohol warmth at a staggering 12% ABV.
We get notes of freshly roasted coffee beans, creamy vanilla latté, cocoa, graham cracker pie crust, sweet cinnamon, toasted oats, and roasted chestnuts drizzled in honey.

16 ounce can. Hazy deep amber pour. Dense foamy tan head. Aromatic java and spice nose. Flavor is sweet coffee, cinnamon and a hint of orange peel. I know I’ve said this before, but the 12% ABV is barely noticeable. If the Elves are sippin’ this, it’s no wonder they may be a bit Tipsy.

16 oz can from the brewery, canned 12/22/20, consumed 12/23/20. It pours an amber-orange color with a beige / tan head. The aroma is full of coffee and some sugary notes. Flavor-wise it has lots of coffee, fairly sweet, creamy, and smooth. Reminiscent of sweetened coffee with plenty of cream. Spices (mostly cinnamon, but some other spices as well) come through on the close of the flavor, not as much on the aroma. Definitely on the boozy side, but it works here. Tasty stuff.
