Beer-a-Day #84
I’ve never seen this before, in spite of it being fairly local to me. “Premium Ale Brewed with Honey” exclaims the label, as well as 10.5% ABV. Yikes!
Dark honey colored, with a thick, off-white head. Some vanilla in the aroma, along with grassiness from the hops. Not sweet. Some alcohol heat, but not as much as I expected. There’s an unusual burnt toast flavor in the aftertaste.
I believe this comes out once a year and I anxiously await it. I recommend using a glass you would normally use for a Belgian trippel. It stands up nicely to a hearty, savory meal.
