Commercial Description:
This year’s holiday seasonal is a more traditional winter warmer and will be released in late October. If you recall, last year’s Old Humbug was a Strong Lager with a subtle star anise infusion. This year, Anders has created a very tasty, traditional British style winter warmer, utilizing an ale yeast strain instead of our usual house lager strain. Although this is a stylistic departure from our usual creations, you will not be disappointed. With generous amount of Castle Special B malted barley, which lends a hint of dark molasses flavor, and Challenger, Glacier, Newport and US Golding hop additions balancing the robust yet smooth malt profile, Old Humbug II comes in with a 8.2% Alcohol by volume (ABV) which will keep your tummy warm on those cold winter nights that are just around the corner. Limited quantities of this hand crafted gem are available For those of you who can’t make it to the Tap Room, Old Humbug II has found its way into select local and Portland area accounts but its disappearing quickly.

Bottle from Liquid Solutions. Pours clear ruddy copper with a one-finger beige head. Very malty aroma, with something like vanilla. Medium body with mild, creamy carbonation. Flavor is cola, vanilla, chocolate. Ever changing. Finish is mildly sweet with darkish fruits. Very smooth. Quite tasty.

Poured at the new and shiny Beer Mongers... Poured a deep brown with a fluffy, beige head. This was a very malt driven, roasted brew with a sweet caramel and floral, fruity bouquet to it. Sweet and toasty all the way to the finish.

Draught. Poured dark brown with medium off white head. Aroma of roast malt raisins and molasses. Molasses flavour sweet without being cloying. Enough bitterness to keep from being sicky sweet. Sip this.
