Our mischievous Belgian Strong Dark Ale just got a classy holiday makeover. The rich body and dry finish you know and love from Rude Elf’s Reserve now mingle with warming bourbon character and a dash of orange spice bitters, evoking the timeless charm of an Old Fashioned cocktail. Festive notes of clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg round out this decadent brew. Don’t let this cheeky imp keep it all to himself — reserve yours and raise a glass to holiday indulgence.
