Wild Heaven Craft Beers (Decatur, GA) is releasing its first seasonal – “Wild Heaven Winter Ale”. Winter Ale isn’t 100% new, but it is a “winterized” version of “Ode To Mercy”, one of Wild Heaven’s launch beers.
Wild Heaven brewer Eric Johnson took Ode To Mercy an imperial brown brewed with coffee from 1,000 faces in Athens, Georgia and aged it in bourbon oak instead of French oak. The result is a coffee infused brown ale, with hints of coffee & vanilla bourbon. Winter Ale features west coast hops, marris otter malts & Belgian aromatic hops.
Friday at 6pm, The Porter taps a cask of Bell’s Brewing’s fall seasonal Best Brown Ale. This is one of the most popular seasonal brown ales.
Commercial Description: A smooth, toasty brown ale,Best Brown Ale is a mainstay in our fall & winter lineup. With hints of caramel and cocoa, the malt body has the depth to stand up to cool weather, but does not come across as heavy. This balancing act is aided by the generous use of American hops.
Style: English Brown Ale
Taste Expectations: Caramel & toffee. Earthy hops, brown sugar. Some cocoa, and nuts.
