This small batch production tastes like an intriguing amalgam of a Strong Belgian Ale and a Baltic Porter, an odd couple pairing that in this scenario is a happy one and immediately serves to set this Christmas offering apart. The aroma of charred bananas and flying pork on the nose opens up on the palate to a smooth weighty avalanche of sooty chocolate and pucker inducing sour dark fruit flavors. A jostle of tropical fruit, hinted at on the nose, comes through prominently on the finish and is one more reason you should find a bottle of this unique Xmas release.
