A staggering grist bill featuring Maris Otter, Crystal, Caramel, and aromatic malts provides the high-gravity wort needed to brew this decadent and classic style. Clean, robust, and amber in appearance, the aroma provides notes of fruit leather, sherry, and first flush Chinese black tea. Indulgent and intensely malty, a slightly boozy body is made smooth and creamy in its carbonation which highlights layers of cherry, maple, and pecan blondies. A touch of raisin tanginess lingers on the tongue. Chinook and East Ken Golding Hops add balanced bittering with floral and herbal sweetness. Strong, but nuanced, this bold offering deserves to be savored and considered. We hope you enjoy.
