We took our Fun, Old-Fashioned Family Christmas ale and aged it in bourbon barrels for three months! Nutmeg and vanilla greet the nose first quickly followed by the mild scent of whiskey. A big malty body coats the palat. Smooth oak, bourbon, sugar and spice play on the tongue while a mild bourbon-heat warms the body for a delecate experience worth savoring. Its what Christmas should taste like. Plus bourbon.

Christmas in July! A big fan of the original Alewerks Christmas ale. This is an upgrade in my opinion. Looks a nice dark brown color with little head on initial pour. As for taste there are hints of cinnamon and spice, then comes the bourbon. The bourbon takes away some of the overly sweetness found in other Christmas ales. Not over powering though and a nice surprise. This is a savory beer that I’d likely not have more than one with in each sitting.
