The Next Little Creatures Small Batch

[Brend0]

I did post this in the other little creatures thread but thought it was worthy of its own thread.


I received an email from my little creatures rep the other day asking if I was interested in purchasing kegs of their next small batch when it is ready, of course my answer was yes.



.. " In keeping with Single Batch's direction of beingexploratory of unique and interesting beer styles, the upcoming release is aspiced "Christmas" (winter) ale. The beer itself is very rich in flavour with pronouncedcinnamon, nutmeg and Allspice and is very strong alcohol wise at just under 9%alc/vol. THAT'S RIGHT... 9%!!! "


This sounds delicious! :beer:

I reckon it will be for the chilly months ahead, Keiffer It sounds awesome.

I don't like the use of the word "pronounced" next to a list of spices.

I recently got to try an '09 vintage Anchor Christmas Ale and it was absolutely awesome.

Perhaps this is one to keep for a while if you have the capacity.

Sounds great, I hope they nail it.

Spiced beer always scared me off...until I tried Brewdog's "No Such Thing As Santa" and YUM!!!

I did not enjoy this - overpowering nutmeg. I tend to agree with the Belgian principle with regard to spices in beer: if you can identify them specifically, you're doing it wrong.

It could be end of the month, and 30L kegs are making the rounds in Perth for growler fills.
