COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Today we release Alpenglo, a 3.5% ABV winter glider. This Winter Dark Ale is a concept reserved for the haul, the long push, the times when the day extends into the night. Roast punch and hop slice make this black ale your solution to winter sessions.

Draft only. Growler fills begin today at the brewery. Winter is a marathon and not a sprint, make Alpenglo your cold weather compadre.

Alpenglo. On tap at the Half Acre taproom. Brown amber with a white head. Citrus bright hop aroma with dark fruits. Bitter roast with nuts and red fruit that?s juicy. Earthy juicy bitter. Kind of odd with the strongly roast but it works well enough. 7/3/8/4/15

A hell of a winter ale- my girlfriend said it had a portery flavor, but it was a bit thin for that. Despite, it was delicious and full bodied, with lots of caramel, malt, and roasted notes. A nice black ale with a solid backbone. I can’t wait to have this again.

On tap on the brewery tour. Pours clear and light brown with a foamy head. Aromas of roasted malt and slight coffee. Like a sessionable light porter. Extremely flavorful for a 3.5% beer.

Dark pout with a big head. Mouth is a little thick, but pleasant. Nice roast in this one. Almost a little smokey. Clean palate. Very easy drinking.

Pours a nice dark brown/black color with a thick tan head. Aroma is malty...light roastiness a mild cocoa...slightly nutty. Flavor follows suit...nice citrusy hop noted to balance out the roasty malt. Mouthfeel is light and silky with a mild coffee finish. Very awesome low abv beer!

DocLock (6789) - Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 14, 2012
Draft at Blue Dog. Pours hazy brown with khaki head. Nose is earthy caramel malt, toffee, nuts. Tastes earthy, vienna malty, with finishing brown sugary and nutty hints, but was not ever sweet to me, with some hops at the end.
