COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brewed strong, bold and sweet with honey malt and maple syrup, then fermented with our jolliest Belgian yeast, this beer then rests in the bright tank with 60 pounds of finely chopped sugar plums until the elves can wait no longer. The resulting elixir arrives onyx in hue with hints of oak and spice and a rich complex cornucopia of cheer for your palate. This is a fruitcake that won’t get tossed!

Holiday Ale Fest 2009. Cloudy amber/mohogany pour with a thin white head. Fruity nose, hints of berries, caramel, and faint clove esters. Dry palate, quick fruity sweet note up front, but it seems like most everything fermented out of this, couldn’t really pick up much from the sugar plums. Not sure why this was called a tripel, but overall the yeast esters seemed very subdued.

Holiday Ale Fest... Poured brownish/ruby with a thin, khaki head. Maple sugar really influenced this one. (Tripel ????) Plum-like, dark fruits and malts with slight hops and a mild bitterness. Bread-like, baked-goods finish.
