Península Winter Ale 2108
This Winter Seasonal Beer is a robust English-style ale crafted for the cold months. It features a deep malt backbone defined by intense roasted tones and a distinctive prune character. The profile is heightened by the specific inclusion of smoked malts, which introduces a delicate, savory wisp of smoke that balances the inherent malty sweetness of the base and roasted malts. At 7.4% ABV, it delivers a comforting and functional alcohol warmth. The sensory experience is evocative of dark fruit cake, where the rich toasted sugars and dried fruit esters harmonize into a complex, warming winter treat.
Appearance. Very dark brown to near-black (SRM 30-38). The beer is virtually opaque but shows clarity at the mahogany edges. It is topped by a thick, persistent tan head with excellent lacing.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Dominated by toasted malt, caramel, and dark chocolate notes. Strong dried fruit esters of prune and raisin are prominent. A light, clean phenolic smoke character from the smoked malts is present and well-integrated. Hop aroma is very low to absent.
Taste. Initial impression is rich and malty with significant toasted bread and dark grain flavors. The mid-palate features deep prune and fig notes. Subtle smoky flavors provide a savory counterpoint to the malt sweetness. Bitterness is low to moderate, ensuring a balanced profile. The finish is long and satisfyingly sweet with a lingering dark fruit and toasted malt aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a smooth, malty chewiness. Carbonation is moderate. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth provides a comforting, glowing sensation. Low astringency and high creaminess.
