Seasonal: Special
Description:
Belgian-style ale in Courvoisier Cognac barrels that previously housed distilled wine made from Ugni Blanc. Before it slumbered for a year, a Belgian yeast strain was added to the mix, insuring that the liquid made with pilsner malt, Dark Belgian Candi Sugar and Tettnang, Perle and Styrian Golding Celeia hops inside evolved gently with time. After its departure from the barrel, the delicate ester-rich fruit notes, typical to a Trappist beer, remained in tact, but they wrapped in a warm spice blanket. The 10.3% ABV beer offers a pleasing degree of toffee, ripe plum, Sherry, cinnamon, clove and nutmeg, with a bright finish and a touch of warm cherries.
