Spencer Trappist Holiday Ale
Spencer Trappist Holiday Ale is a regal Belgian Dark Strong Ale presenting a deep mahogany hue with luminous reddish highlights and a persistent, fluffy tan head. The sensory profile is defined by an intricate fruitcake character, driven by festive additions of clove and nutmeg that intertwine with Spencer’s characteristic monastic yeast esters. Rich aromas of caramel and toasted malt lead into a palate brimming with dark fruit complexity—specifically dried figs and raisins. A wholesome, medium-full body provides a luxurious canvas for the layered malt sweetness, while a smooth, heart-warming alcohol presence emerges in the finish to balance the spice.
Appearance. Deep mahogany to dark amber with distinct garnet highlights; features a thick, fluffy, and persistent light tan head with excellent lacing; brilliant clarity.
Aroma. High intensity with a complex blend of rich caramel and toasted malt. Prominent holiday spice notes of clove and nutmeg are layered over deep fruit esters reminiscent of raisins, figs, and fruitcake. A delicate, perfumy alcohol warmth is present in the background.
Taste. Initial malt richness featuring caramel and light toasted bread. Mid-palate introduces a symphony of dark fruits like dried figs and dates. The spices—clove and nutmeg—are well-integrated, providing a piquant counterpoint to the malt sweetness. Low to moderate bitterness allows for a malt-forward balance, finishing with a lingering, warming complexity of spice and dark sugar.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a creamy, wholesome texture. High carbonation provides an effervescent lift that prevents the beer from feeling heavy. Noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present without being harsh or solventy.
