Delicately spiced, delightfully dark and deep with booze, this is like a warm hug on a cold day. (We thought of a cozy European café that’s known for chocolate pfeffernüsse cookies.) It’s comforting—a little sweet, an herbal pinch, plus a silky, full mouthfeel—and it should be your winter go-to. This is a throwback to not-so-long ago when brewers would get together, get out of their comfort zones and create a beer that they’d want to drink with one another.
