Chanukah Hanukkah, PASS THE BEER!

What do you want to drink this holiday season? Something lite? Something dark? Something with Christmas spice? Over the next few weeks I will be showcasing beers for your holiday delight.

This week it’s Chanukah! I am drinking Schmaltz Brewery’s CHANUKAH HANUKKAH PASS THE BEER. It packs a punch with 8% alc/vol. It’s made with 8 malts, and 8 hops. Talk about your crazy 8 nights!

It pours dark brown, almost black, with a milk chocolate head. Has a bit of lace. The aroma is malt and chocolate. There is also a big chocolate punch when first sipped, which turns malty immediately. There is some sweetness but not overly so. It leaves a silky mouth feel with some bitterness from the hops at the end.

Overall this is a rich tasting beer to enjoy on a cold winter’s night whether you’re lighting the menorah, spinning a dreidel, or downing Grandma’s rugelach!

Chag urim sameach!
