Winter coats are warm and cozy, and crucial for withstanding the coldest season. The same goes for this year’s edition of Stormbreaker Brewing’s Winter Coat Ale-- it’s sweet and toasty, and it’s got US Open Beer Championship award-winning dark fruit flavors to take the chill away.

Stormbreaker puts a new twist on Winter Coat every year, and this time they’ve added sweet dark cherries and wolfberries to their Chocolate Malt and orange peel-infused Winter Warmer to bundle on the layers of complexity.

Aromas of candied figs rise from a rich mahogany pour. Chocolate-covered cherries tickle your tongue and flurries of caramelized citrus zest float in. Hints of semi-sweet cocoa nibs, hibiscus, and date nut bread coax your palate with sip after sip of smooth comfort in a glass. The sneaky 7.5% ABV isn’t for the meek -- it’s robust without any heaviness to bog you down, and it’s sure to keep you warm when it’s storming outside.

With only 180 cases in existence, we wanted to make sure all of you dark beer fans have a chance to taste this chocolate cherry-cordial excellence before it’s gone. Once you’ve tried this brand new Winter Coat, you won’t want to leave home without it.
