Snickerdoodle Ale

Tap to rate

A bready, crackery, malt-forward base meets vanilla and cinnamon in this 5.2% spiced ale, which aims for the smell and taste of freshly baked cookies. Heirloom English Maris Otter malt carries the malt side, and freshly pureed vanilla beans and whole cinnamon sticks are infused into the brew. A seasonal release from Community Beer in Dallas.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent vanilla bean and cinnamon, reminiscent of freshly baked snickerdoodle cookies. Beneath the spice lies a warm, bready malt character from the Maris Otter base, with soft toasty undertones and a gentle floral hop presence that frames without dominating.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers a malt-forward entry with pronounced vanilla sweetness and a dry spice backbone from whole cinnamon infusion. The mid-palate is smooth and vollmundig, balancing bready, cracker-like character with cookie-like sweetness, while restrained bitterness and subtle hop definition provide clean structure and prevent cloy.

◑ Finish

A crisp, refreshing fade with lingering vanilla and cinnamon notes that taper toward dry. The finish is clean and moderately short, leaving behind a warm spiced aftertaste rather than residual sugar.
