This one was a nice surprise. I bought a single bottle as part of a 6-pack sampler for 2 reasons: I trust Avery Brewing, and I love the label. The warming effect from the beer (8.3% ABV) was instant, and I could definitely taste the hints of hazelnut & toffee that are mentioned on the label.
I call beers like this an “Instant 6”, as in: I can’t wait to get back to the store and buy a 6-pack. This will definitely be in my fridge for the holidays. Cheers!
Avery never fails to disappoint! Definitely on my short list of favorite breweries.
I’m going to look for this sampler when I go to my my local beer supply house later today.
