This British Strong Ale presents a complex, winter-warmer profile defined by its intricate malt base and unique adjuncts. Deeply malty, it opens with a nose of toasted marshmallow and honey, transitioning into a rich palate of fruit cake and dark raisins driven by a high-temperature Kveik fermentation. The use of Nugget hops provides a grounding, resinous bitterness that balances the substantial 11.2% ABV. Though dark brown and visually imposing, the mouthfeel remains smooth and chewy, finishing with a lingering sweetness reminiscent of dried stone fruits and caramel. It is a bold, festive interpretation that blurs the lines between a traditional strong ale and a decadent dessert beer.
Appearance.Deep mahogany to dark reddish-brown (SRM 22-25); generally clear despite the dark hue, with a moderate, cream-colored head that exhibits average retention and fine lacing.
Aroma.High intensity with a malty-sweet core of toffee and light chocolate. Distinctive toasted marshmallow and floral honey notes dominate the initial impression, supported by moderate fruity esters of raisin and dried plum from the Kveik fermentation. Nugget hops contribute a subtle resinous and herbal backdrop.
Taste.Initial impression is rich with nutty malt and sweet fruit cake. Significant flavor complexity emerges from toasted marshmallow and honey, blending with dark fruit flavors of raisin and date. Nugget hops provide a firm bitterness that balances the honeyed sweetness. The finish is lingering and sweet, with a notable, well-integrated alcoholic warmth.
Mouthfeel.Full, chewy body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A significant alcohol warmth is evident, reflecting the high gravity, but it remains smooth rather than solventy.
