It's time again to plan for the winter seasonal beer here at Snyderson Brew Hus! I know it seems ridiculous to start thinking about ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg just as summer is beginning but, holiday beers need plenty of time to age into perfection. This weekend we brewed the 2011 batch of Tomten's Jul Ol and most things went smoothly. (We did run out of propane right before the boil began, requiring us to run out and grab a refill.)
Frankly, this is one of my favorite beers. The aromas and flavors are so reminiscent of Christmas and it is perfect out of a wide mouth goblet. It also stores well (even though the bulk of the stock is gone by New Years.)
O.G. - 1.058

6 lbs. Dark LME
