Admin Edit: As of Winter 2013, this beer is now known as Winter Spruce Porter. Formerly known as Old Tjikko.

“Old Tjikko” is a 9,550 year old spruce tree, tucked away on a mountain in Sweden. At 9,550 years, it is the oldest living tree. Oh, sorry, you’re curious about the beer? In that case, “Old Tjikko” is Newburgh’s rich and full-bodied Baltic Spruce Porter. In settling up to Old Tjikko, you’ll be greeted with a lovely spruce aroma that is accented by the dark roasted malts, complimented by a caramel sweetness. This aromatic beginning leads one to thoughts of their favorite mint or chocolate desserts. And the taste certainly follows that aromatic start, as you are left with lingering notes of spruce, chocolate, & a minty and resiny finish. Smooth without the bite that can be associated with spruce, this is a beer that seems most at home next to your fireplace. With a warming ABV of 6.6%, this is one for the holiday season and to be blissfully enjoyed throughout the long, winter months.
