Christmas-Winter Specialty Spiced Beer 10.1 º

Clube do Malte

This Winter Seasonal Beer offers a decadent, warming experience tailored for the coldest nights. A rich, mahogany base supports a festive bouquet of star anise, cinnamon, and clove, interwoven with the bright, citrusy lift of orange peel. The malt profile is deeply evocative of holiday treats, featuring layers of dark caramel, molasses, and toasted bread. At 10.1% ABV, the alcohol is prominent yet smooth, providing a comforting heat that complements the sweet, spicy character. It is a full-bodied, complex ale where the specialty ingredients and high gravity create a harmonious, dessert-like profile reminiscent of spiced plum pudding.

Appearance. Deep copper to dark mahogany (25-35 SRM). Generally clear with a dense, creamy, tan head that shows good persistence and leaves light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity with a complex blend of aromatic spices; star anise provides an herbal sweetness while cinnamon and clove offer a warm, peppery punch. The malt is rich and sugary, suggesting brown sugar and toasted nuts, complemented by a subtle citrus note from the orange peel and dark fruit esters.

Taste. The initial impression is one of deep malt sweetness, featuring flavors of caramel, dark bread, and molasses. The spices are well-integrated, with the anise and cinnamon leading into a zesty orange finish. Bitterness is low, allowing the spice and malt to dominate. The finish is long and sweet with a lingering spiced warmth.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied with a thick, chewy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A significant, smooth alcohol warmth is present, reflecting the 10.1% ABV, without being harsh or solventy. Creamy and mouth-coating.
