A Wise Old Ale

Looking to try something new and different in the world of beer and ales? I have found something so unique and so good, that I still think about it every week or so. I still keep an eye out for it whenever I buy ale. 

New Belgian Brewing 1554, Enlightened Black Ale is the culprit. This beer is from a beer recipe dating back to, you guessed it, 1554. What an ale! Have you ever heard of a black ale? Me either. Wait until you taste it. The flavor is dark, nutty, malty, earthy, yet sweet and refreshing. Completely unique. To boot, it has a smooth body and is very easy to drink.

This brewery is known for it's Fat Tire brew, but it has so many other offerings that I consider to be much more worthy of your hard earned money. Check them out and see their very eclectic list of ales. You might be surprised to see what they make. I was.
