Nutcracker Ale - All Grain
Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer • All Grain • 5 gal
A medium to full bodied beer with a distinctive roasty malt flavor accented with spices. The malts will produce a chocolate or coffee dryness while the spices will balance the hops without dominating. In essence this beer is a spiced Porter. A great beer for the holidays…
