COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This haunting Strong Ale is brewed with English pale and specialty malts and molasses, then matured in freshly emptied brandy barrels and conditioned with mission figs. It’s gently spiced with Ceylon cinnamon and whole nutmeg and further aged with English stock wild yeast.

On tap at Holiday Ale Festival in Portland. Pours caramel with a tan head. Aromas of nutmeg, cinnamon, dark fruits and vanilla. Taste is overwhelmingly alcohol, which eventually reveals figs, dark fruits and molasses.

Tap at Holiday Ale Fest. Hazy golden-amber pour with a light bit of off-white head. Aroma of fig, cinnamon, nutmeg, graham cracker, brown sugar, light vanilla and oak. Tastes of bread, figs, quite a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg, molasses, vanilla. Very dry finish. I enjoyed this one a ton and had probably 4 samples of it all told. One of my favorites of the festival.

Tap @ Holiday Ale Festival... Poured a deeper amber to it’s counterpart. The yeast was much more pronounced, created drier nuances which all acted as a nice balanced to the normal Figgy Pudding version. Spices stood out, and cocoa, ginger, and dried fruits shined.
