Commercial Description:
It’s finally ready! We brewed a double-strength batch of Mirror Pond Pale Ale last March and aged it in a variety of new and used (Bourbon, Pinot Noir, Port) oak barrels. The final blending has taken place and there will be a limited release at 5PM on the Winter Solstice here at the Pub. It will also be available in other select outlets in the Pacific Northwest in December.

on tap at the toronado in san francisco. pours a cloudy reddish amber. burnt brown sugar smell, lots of caramelly malts, and a lot of earthy, citrus, and floral hops. earthy caramel taste, a solid citrus hop character, and slight notes of cherries. sweet finish, with a smallish hint of bitter, chewy sticky mouthfeel, medium to full body, and a bit of carbonation. i had been to a barleywine festival the previous day, and this would’ve been in the top 4 or 5.
