About This Beer
Every year, the award-winning brewmasters craft this deliciously festive Winter Warmer with Chocolate, Special B, and Honey Malt for rich cocoa and caramel complexity. Then, they stuff it full of Fuggle and Sterling Hops for layers of flowery spice, while sweet orange peel cleans it up like a classy old fashioned. Like a present under the tree, each vintage packs a little surprise; 2022’s is a sweet but subtle blackberry accent.
Tasting Notes
Creamy cascades of caramel, brown sugar, and chocolate course through every sip. Vibrant undercurrents of zesty orange and jammy berry carry underneath until a smooth, dry finish. A 7.5% ABV adds a welcome warmth.

Decently malty and rich on the nose. Hints of cocoa & blackberry on the palate with a fair amount of roasted malt and honey. Slightly sweet, burnt orange finish.

Pleasant drinkable winter warmer. Not too spicy or alcoholic. Wonderful blackberry notes in the flavor and finish.

Not bad, but strange as a winter warmer. Like it couldn't decide between sweet caramel and fruity

It’s a decent winter warmer/stout-like beer, but I’m getting more coffee than blackberries.
