The Bruery 4 Calling Birds

From The Bruery – The fourth verse of our Twelve Beers of Christmas saga incorporates gingerbread-like spice into a rich and robust dark ale. Happy Holidays.

The Bruery – The Bruery 4 Calling Birds – On tap at The Bruery Provisions – 11% abv.

Appearance: Pours an amber brown with a creamy tan cap.

Aroma: Cola, spicy Belgian yeast, Euro hop herbalness.

Taste: Dark chocolate , burnt toast, spicy yeast, finishes bitter. Quite alcoholic. Had this on tap at Provisions, and didn’t pick up the gingerbread like others have.

Mouthfeel: Full bodied. Lively carbonation.

Overall:  I tried this within days of it released to the public(Late Oct/Early Nov). I like the profile of all their 12 Days beers including this, but this one is a little hot when I tried it. I see this one making it for 8 years.
