Bottle text & Info:
This fantastic brew began its life as "Charlie", the third installment of the Brewer's Select Series. It is now part of our seasonal lineup and will be released in the month of January. It is an intricate dark ale with a touch of smokiness. The rich malt flavor, crisp bitterness and smoke reach perfect equilibrium in this brew. At 7.5% abv, Fireside Ale will warm you up as the temperature drops
Tasting Notes:
Pours a deep, slightly hazy chestnut brown with a quarter inch light tan head that quickly dissipates to a light rim around the glass. Smells faintly rauch-like. Restrained smoke yet also some significant hints of chocolate malt like aromas. Significant carmel malt notes with molasses in the front with lingering smoke. Love the layering which is somewhat like smoke, malt, smoke, hops, smoke - with end carbonation being just prickly enough to encourage the quaffing experience. Unending complexity as this warms and the alcohol is well hidden.
