Description
Founded by local home brewers in 2009, Straight to Ale has quickly grown to become one of Alabama’s largest production breweries.
In the summer of 2016 we opened our new 55,000 square foot facility at Campus 805, reclaiming a long vacant Middle School campus on the edge of downtown Huntsville and turning it into a thriving community of breweries, bars, restaurants, and local shops. At this new location, we expanded to include cider and mead production along with distilled spirits (Shelta Cavern Spirits), a scratch made kitchen (Ale’s Kitchen), a pinball arcade and pool room (Ronnie Rayguns).

Bottle. Pours opaque black, medium brown head, creamy good lacing. Aroma is roast, vinous, molasses. Flavor is light sweet, medium bitter, huge roastiness, vinous and overall red wine notes, burnt. Full body, creamy mouthfeel. I generally am not a fan of wine barrel stouts, and this is really no exception.
