This oak aged blend of Bing and sour pie cherry sour red sled has been steeped on spices fresh from Grenada and wild flower honey, served with a slice of Orange at 70 DEGREES. IT'S LIKE Christmas in a glass before credit card bill comes due.

Not sure how to add this one, as they were serving it from a hot pot at the bar, so I chose cask, why not.

Pours little head, reddish amber. Smells like Christmas spices, really. Almost burns my hand as I pick it up...70 degrees my ass.
odor is warm...Nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, tiny hint of cherry.
Ok never had a hot beer, first for me, but somehow it works. I don't know how, I don't know why, but it does.
A lot of bread pudding on the front of the palate. Then crosses over the mid, picks up cherries, and finishes tart. The mouthfeel is thick but not too much, it really warms you up in the cold. Odd, but not bad... oddly unique.

Serving type: cask
