Smoked Bière de Garde

Biere de Noel is a 8.5% French Style Holiday Lager with a strong malt backbone with flavors of black cherry and nutty caramel. We added a light touch of peat smoked malt for extra depth.

750 ml bottle, batch 1, poured into a snifter

A- Brown with ruby red highlights and a two finger light tan head.

S- Tart, dark fruits, cherries, some smoke, oaky, some malts.

T- Taste is very different from the nose. Smoky, roasted malts, some chocolate, oak, slightly earthy yeast, undertones of tart cherries and dark fruits.

M- Smooth, medium body.

O- Bierede Garde is a style I have explored that much, but I really like how the smoke and oak come together on this. Wish I was able to get a second bottle.
