Overview
---"A" RATING---Big, strong, malty, and has been around for many years (since 1979). Brewed once a year on December 6 (St Nicholas Day) and aged for 10 months before bottling. One of the rarest specilaty beers in the world. Savour and enjoy!
Description
RATING:
(A) Beer Advocate
DESCRIPTION/REVIEWS:
"Extremely full-bodied, thick, rich and chewy. Mouthfeel is creamy, as well as smooth--like a fine whiskey. Caramel/toffee, plum, raisin, grape, honey, sweet chocolate and light biscuit flavors. Overall malt profile is very sweet and fruity. Alcohol notes are huge and spicy, and its powers of warming the body, soul, and mind can be felt after the first sip. There's little detectable hop bitterness, but there is a wonderfully floral hop flavor that melds with the malt sweetness to create a sweet tea-like flavor that rides the entire experience. Finishes with alcohol fumes and a light grain flavor with chocolate liquor notes."--Beer Advocate (A) |
